Two Black girls happily stand together at Mt. Olympus water park. Both are wet from a day of water park fun and are standing next to the park's pink and orange play structure in orange Goodman pinnies.
A white blonde girl wearing rainbow crocks and a bright floral dress sits cross legged in front of a teacher while the teacher braids her hair. The girl is looking slightly up and to the right with closed lip half smile.

A group of 8 multi-racial kids look over a short stone wall at the ground beneath inside Olbrich community gardens. All 8 have their backs turned and are wearing the orange Goodman pinnies. A curious girl in a bright blue skirt at the far left end has crawled onto the top of the stone wall to peer over it, while the rest stand in front of it.
Two staff members--an Asian woman and masc nonbinary white trans person--greet a white mom and her two daughters in the Ironworks lobby. The sun shines through the windows, and the woman staff member is warmly crouching to talk to the girls who appear a little apprehensive at joining a new program.

Five multiracial kids--four girls and a boy on the far right end--lean against a fence at Madison's Tenney park docs to look at the docking tools and watch a boat go out onto the lake. All of them are facing away from the camera with pure curiosity.
A late elementary age Black girl stands out amongst friends as they line up outside against the Ironworks building exterior. She's sticking her tongue out at the camera with one hand up, wrist bent at a 90% angle towards her face. Her hair is in two poms and she's wearing a white t-shirt with a red and black design. It's a sunny day and the rays shine on the girl to her right with colorful hair clips and a pink t-shirt shirt.

A group of multi-racial children wearing blue Goodman pinnies sit at a picnic table at Troy Gardens eating a snack off of white paper plates. The photo is taken from one end of the table, and a white boy is sitting on the opposite side. The left bench has 6 kids sitting together while the right bench has only four (one boy is hidden behind the head of another, but his plate is visible). The table is in the shade, but it is a sunny summer day, and the children are enjoying their food.
A group of four Black children stand posed together against a beautifully painted blue fence with a water scene. All four hold up piece signs, and are squinting as they face the sun to look at the camera. They're all wearing shorts and the orange Goodman pinnies.
A group of multi-racial children stand outside together, each holding the edge of an outspread yellow, pink, blue, orange and green parachute. It's a sunny, clear blue day with just a few thin clouds scattered across the sky.
