Celebration!


Our final Zoo-Mates event for the 2008-2009 school year was a festive and fun-filled celebration at UC. For many of our mentees, this was their first visit to a college campus.

We played cornhole in the gym.

And also helped each other shoot baskets.


We enjoyed some quality time with our friends.

And worked off some energy.


We showed each other our skills.


Some UC student volunteers joined our celebration to paint our faces. Soon, we had butterflies, tigers, and super heroes swarming the gym!

This mentor donated his face to some young artists!


On the way toward becoming a basketball...


Many of us also got to face the challenge of the climbing wall!

She's happy to be back on solid ground!


Interviewing Spider-Man about his climbing adventures.


Right after this photo was taken, he climbed all the way to the top!

Look how far you've come!

The Project Connect staff cheered us on!

Then the time came to gather together, eat some pizza, and enjoy some final moments with our buddies.



We watched the Celebration video and cheered when we saw ourselves and our friends!

He's a bearcat!

And then it was time to say goodbye.

Thanks for a great year!
