A belated Happy Mother’s Day to all mothers of all kinds!
· International Hummus Day: one of my faves, and my Cooking Matters class made it week 2!
· National Fruit cocktail day: besides the lone cherry, tell me what this is good for??!
· Top Gun Day: true story, my brother flew those F18’s!
· Tulip Day: my very favorite flower. Anyone make it out to see those blooming?
News and Announcements:
Resource Fair: for families wanting appointments for the shots, if the QR code is not working, here is another way for them to register! https://prepmod.doh.wa.gov/appointment/en/client/registration?clinic_id=23896 . The fair is the biggest it’s ever been, and we are spreading out to the general community, so please do try to inform families about all the amazing providers!
Shoes: There are shoes still aplenty! By appointment only. Contact me for more information. Shoes can now go out to any youth in need not just foster/KIT. For those that have given out shoes, still needing pictures or impact stories (feedback from the youth or parent) to be in total compliance with our partnership. Much thanks to those who really helped us get the surveys! We got over 50% of them done and we only needed about 25%-thank you!!
Modest Market: This Saturday 18th from 9- supplies last or 11! Tell families to come on the earlier side! *(at Emerson)
Professional Development
