Hi Carla!
 
This bedroom set was given to us recently by our neighbors who were moving. We do not need it so would like to offer it to a foster family for free. It's an older set but in good condition, real wood construction. The 5-piece set consists of 2 bureaus (one with a cabinet/hutch on top, which is removable), a corner desk with a cabinet (they are not attached). There is also a headboard and footboard w/frame.  See attached pictures.

Communities of Practice

 

“Supporting Individualized Social Emotional Goals for Pre-School Children

 

 

This presentation will focus on designing positive behavioral support plans for pre-school children. The training will cover the purpose of behaviors, preventive strategies that educators may use and the replacement skills a child should learn as a result. The training will review the importance of establishing a collaborative team effort across settings and with meaningful adults in the child's life that assist in the development of positive plans and goals for the child.

 

Participants will have an opportunity to learn, network and share based on their own experiences working with children and adults.

 

Five (5) sessions will be held throughout the state at a location near you!

 

Please register with the identified contact person in “RED” for the meeting you wish to attend by providing us with your name, position, program and contact information.

REMIONDER to RSVP for foster family BBQ!!

Hi all! This is a wonderful event!  The Rotary spends a great deal of money and effort and it's a great night!

If you can make it, please let me know! We would love to have as many kids as possible!

If you have siblings that are split up, this is a great way for the kids to spend some quality time with each other without the stressors of meeting in the office.

If you don't have contact with the other foster family, let me know so we can reach out to them!

 

Your own children are certainly welcome and encouraged!

 

You do NOT need to respond if you can't make it.  I just need a head count for food. Thanks!

UPDATED: you are invited! To our foster family BBQ!!

When I said the last line, no biological families, that was meant as sometimes a kinship home brings a mom.  This is a foster family event where foster families can meet and chat and the kids can have fun in an un-stressful setting.

Your own children are most certainly WELCOME!  It's meant for the whole foster family!  Sorry for the confusing statement.
