In their adventures on The Paper Girls Show, characters Caily and Reese really do Dream It, Make It, and Be It.
They are inspired by their surroundings and by the people in their community to dream up great ideas and solve big problems. They put those ideas into action when they make them into reality, and they embody all they learn by connecting it back to their own emotions and experiences.
In this after-school program, we hope you’ll Dream It, Make It, and Be It alongside Caily, Reese, and friends!
