Lama will be at the Museum from 2 to 4 p.m. meeting with families and posing for photos. And Denver Public Schools will host family resource tables for programs and services such as Medicaid/CHP+, Child Find and the Denver Preschool Program.

Additionally, the celebration will include music and dance performances, face painting, crafts, a climbing wall, visits from Colorado sports mascots, a Museum-wide scavenger hunt and story time in French.
