Our Impact
YRES successfully connected with families, promoted its educational programs, and created new community outreach opportunities at Franklin Street Public School. The team connected with two organizations interested in potential collaboration, while parents learned more about YRES summer camps. Through interactive LEGO activities, prizes, and direct conversations, the event helped strengthen YRES's presence in the community and introduced more families to its programs.
Franklin Street Public School
On June 4, 2026, YRES participated in the Franklin Street Public School's Franklin Fete Carnival in Markham. Team members Aanushan, Allysha, Jenny, and Daphne hosted engaging LEGO activities, introduced families to YRES summer camps, and connected with potential community partners. Children explored hands-on LEGO experiences, including a Robotics station where a trained volunteer helped teach participants how to use the code. The prize wheel also added excitement and encouraged families to visit the booth. Despite the challenges of an outdoor setup on a sunny day, the team adapted well and maintained a welcoming atmosphere throughout the event.
