Every day you come to work and strive to make a difference in a life. Every day you think of ways that will make learning fun, that is new, exciting, and inspires minds to consider the wonders of the world around us or you keep us on track, focused and driven to reach the best. These are a few of these people:

Colleen Callahan for her work with the Health Department on the Immunization Exclusion Day.

Vanessa Thompson, Jean Sperry, Val Haynes and Aimee Sylvestre for writing the CACFP Wellness Champion grant. They asked for $15,000 and were awarded $12,000!!! This grant identified staff and a parent champion who will either work on gardens, increase physical activity, reduce screen time, increase water consumption and so much more! High five to these staff: Chava K., Debi L., Diane P., Jan O., Jay L., Cheryl K., Shanna H., Penelope P., Sherry B., Marshall S. (parent), Marika S. for being our wellness champions!

Western Lane Community Foundation awarded a $1,800 grant Nikki Sneddon wrote for the Florence site to have indoor play equipment to fight childhood obesity. Great job Nikki!

Sherry Beach wrote a $1500 mini Selco grant for composite for the Delight Valley site and that was funded too!
