Hey families! It was Wonderful Wednesday and we had a fun FULL day of excitement lined up! 🎉

We held our monthly community engagement dinner/Health Night event with our Brilliant Minds participants, and Lit Lab Improv program—it was an amazing night to remember! Our Henry Ford Health partners shared key insights around mental health awareness which inspired an enriching discussion. The whole family learned, bonded over a delicious meal and agreed to reconvene for our weekly Affirmations program starting on June 1.

Special shout out to our volunteers and Detroit Country Day interns! Their support is invaluable and appreciated.

Next time please plan to attend… it’s going to be EPIC!!! 🔥

April kept us busy in the best way! 💛

From rolling out our OST programs with LitLab, to celebrating birthdays, hosting a brunch with community leaders, and bringing families together for a community dinner—it’s been a month full of connection and joy.

We even had the chance to welcome partners from other countries 🌍 and wrapped everything up with a special Coffee & Conversations.

Here are a few snapshots of what we’ve been up to at McDougall Hunt—take a look and celebrate with us!

Hey community! As we close out this week, here’s a recap of yesterday’s fun at McDougall-Hunt 🎉

The Lit Lab was off the hinges as the children created short stories with one of our storytelling partners. They even learned a 12-letter word—onomatopoeia—and got to show what it means in their own creative ways! Each child had the opportunity to present their story, which made the experience even more special.

We also enjoyed our Lit Lab book club, and to top it all off, we celebrated our April birthdays. We got cake-wasted 🍰 and sang Happy Birthday to Jeremiah, aka J Boogie!

Check out these pictures highlighting all the fun and festivities 📸
