Celebrate Kids! - the dream of Vance G. Bartley - was held for its fourth year in a row on December 10, 2011, at Seattle's Rainier Beach High School. Children with a parent or guardian in jail or prison came with other family members for a whole Saturday of fun, food, creative activities, music, and gifts of their own choosing. Bartley organized volunteers from Rainier Beach HS, the justice system, and the community to make the day a festival with kids at its center. The fiscal sponsor for Celebrate Kids! is Post-Prison Education in Seattle.

Video participants: Ari Kohn (Post-Prison Education); Vance G. Bartley (Celebrate Kids!) with his fellow planners Steve Dozier and Juan Vega; Janice Tufte (Warm for Winter); Lindsay Turner (Tacoma public defender); and volunteers Albert, Eileen, and Marty. Joleen Franklin, on the staff at Rainier Beach HS, helped make it possible to hold the event at the school.
