🧡 A little throwback for this Monday’s gratitude post 🖤

This one is pretty special to us. Last winter, we opened the doors early so the Harlem girls bowling team could have breakfast before heading off to State. 🎳

They came back State Champions. 🏆 And then they surprised us with this. 💝

It now hangs right here at Fresh Start, and we couldn’t be prouder to have it on our wall.

Just one of those little reminders of why we love being part of this community.

Way to represent Harlem, girls. 🧡
