the athletes there dreaming for gold, we’ll be reading about
two starry-eyed dreamers following their passions in Peanut
Goes for the Gold by Jonthan Van Ness and Brontorina

journeys to fulfillment! We’ll also sing some songs and create
a vision board full of the dreams we want to achieve! Don’t
forget to bring an object that represents your dream and share
it with us!
