Still “popping” with excitement!
We had so many great moments from Hooper Family Night that we just had to share a few more! Swipe to see our Hooper families in action—from game strategies to hands-on learning, the energy was un-be-leaf-able.
A second round of applause for our Interventionist and the Lake Villa Library for making these smiles possible.

Lake Villa Library for being a fantastic community partner and joining in the fun.
We’re already looking forward to the next one!
