9th Annual WinnResidential KidsFirst Day at Franklin Park Zoo

In celebration of the 9th annual WinnResidential KidsFirst Day, families from 12 Winn Boston-area apartment communities, including Pequot Highlands in Salem, enjoyed a wonderful day at the Franklin Park Zoo on July 11th. 

A few morning thundershowers did not dampen the spirits of the 327 WinnResidential residents, but fortunately, the sun came out by noon, allowing them to enjoy all the animal exhibits and the zoo’s new giant play structure. Group activities for Winn families included an animal themed game of “Simon Says,” sidewalk chalk projects and decorative button-making. Educational resources were available for parents and children, courtesy of local youth/family support agencies, Smart from the Start and 4-H Clubs of America.
