Stripes in the Streets and the Tiger Trolley was back at it again this week! ☀️🧡

We had the opportunity to visit another neighborhood and bring the fun directly to families. From games and activities to conversations and connections, it was another wonderful morning of building community and meeting families where they are.

We know there are so many great programs and opportunities available, but transportation and other barriers can sometimes make it difficult for families to participate. That’s why we’re committed to taking the fun to them and creating opportunities for connection right in their own neighborhoods.

A huge thank you to Ronda Bertrand, Linda Spears and Casie Heintz from Community Collaboration for Children, Malena Alexander from Nelson County Extension, Stacy Hill from Bardstown Primary School and Elise Lucas from Bardstown Health and Healing for saying “yes” and spending your time, energy, and hearts serving our community. Your willingness to show up, brave the heat, and connect with families makes all the difference.

We are so grateful for everyone who helps make Stripes in the Streets possible. We can’t wait to continue visiting neighborhoods throughout the summer and creating more smiles, memories, and community connections along the way! Keep an eye out for Stripes in the Streets in your neighborhood!

Stripes in the Street was a roaring success today! 🐯☀️

The Family Resource Center for Bardstown Primary School and Bardstown Early Childhood took learning and fun on the road with our Tiger Trolley for a special community event, Stripes in the Street. Families joined us for a morning filled with laughter, creativity, and connection as children played, created colorful tie-dye T-shirts, and shared lunch together.

We were excited to partner with Nelson County Extension Office through Malena Alexander and Community Collaboration for Children through Ronda Bertrand, whose support helped make the day extra special.

To encourage summer reading and outdoor play, every child received books, fun sunglasses, bubbles, candy, and a snack to take home. The event provided a wonderful opportunity for families to spend quality time together, connect with community resources, and celebrate the joy of summer learning.

A huge thank you to Malena and Ronda for their collaboration and support! Thank you for helping make this event such a memorable experience.

Thank you to the families that participated! We loved seeing so many smiling faces and can't wait for our next Tiger Trolley adventure! 🐯📚🌈🚎💛
