We would like to introduce you to Violet Lees. Violet loves her high school life at Minnetonka High School where she is a cheerleader with the Sparklers, the adapted cheer team, as well as manager of the girls tennis B team. She also particpates in her school's unified club, best buddies club and bowls on the adapted bowling team. And, she swims on an adapted synchronized swim team outside of school with fellow employee Ava Muench. She keeps quite the schedule!

Violet was delighted to work at The Sunshine Stop last summer because her summers are light with other activities. This was her first time earning a real paycheck and she was very proud. Her mom and dad were also very proud of Violet and noticed how pleased she was with her work. "This was Violet's first opportunity to know what it means to have a job and 'work a shift' in a non-school setting and we saw such pride and engagement," her mom noted.
