SLANT 45 Project Highlights


Here are just a few of the SLANT 45 projects that took place around North Texas recently:


The SLANT 45 team from the Down Syndrome Guild of Dallas planned, facilitated and performed in "Party for Change", a talent show and party for the children of Family Gateway Homeless Center, and also collected over 100 backpacks, umbrellas and other supplies for the children and families.  "They were enabled to feel powerful and important in a world in which children which Down syndrome are often overlooked or thought of as "not able". On that day, they were the STARS!" said team coach Cara.

Students from Lakehill Preparatory School in East Dallas participated in several projects, including working in the Promise of Peace Community Garden.

Girl Scout Troop 1181 participated in a graffiti abatement project with the city of Fort Worth, helping paint over graffiti  downtown with a rain forest landscape.
