Our youngest interviewer took over the mic! 🎤💗
While we were out at the Belmont Runyon Back-to-School BBQ, caught up with some of the kids to talk all things back-to-school, from what they’re excited about to a little silliness along the way. 😂📚✏️
We love getting to hear directly from the little voices that make our communities so special. 💙
Thank you to Belmont Runyon for having Programs for Parents join the fun and kick off another school year with Newark families!
