Chippewa Valley

Thank you to the DSAW-Chippewa Valley families that braved the cold, winter roads and came out to the FABULOUS Stanley-Boyd pool! We were nice and warm, and there were giant smiles all around

Fox Cities

January was such a fun way to start the year with our DSAW Fox Cities families!

We spent time at Xtreme Air, where there was lots of jumping, moving, and laughing. It was great to see everyone having fun, trying new things, and spending time together in such an energetic and welcoming space.

Later in the month, we headed to Skate City for a night full of skating, smiles, and cheering each other on. Whether families were out on the rink or hanging out on the sidelines, there was no shortage of laughs and great conversations.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made these events so much fun. We’re looking forward to more chances to get together, stay active, and enjoy time with our amazing DSAW Fox Cities community 💙

Greater La Crosse Area

These happy faces were determined to conquer Jump Start Adventure Park, and they succeeded! We had so much fun and we hope to see you at an event soon!

Special Time for You at GET AIR Trampoline Park 🧦🤸‍♂️
DSAW families had a fantastic time jumping, laughing, and having fun at GET AIR Trampoline Park during the Special Time for You jump session! Smiles were everywhere, and it was wonderful to see families connecting and making joyful memories together. Thank you to everyone who joined us!

Advisory Board Retreat
Our Advisory Board gathered this month for a statewide retreat dedicated to program planning and strategic development for our chapter. We’re excited about the ideas, collaboration, and vision coming together to create even more opportunities for individuals with Down syndrome and their families in our community.

Program Planning

This month our team has been working behind the scenes to develop our Sparks and Community Connection programs to expand opportunities for connection, growth, and inclusion in Northeast WI.

Thank you for being part of such a wonderful start to the year — we can’t wait for what’s ahead! 💙
