For homes with foster teens/young adults

This is a GREAT event for our youth!!  Encourage them to attend!

RSVP to Jen Hubbard in the Salem office

 

 

Good Morning,

Attached is the flyer for this year's youth summit. I thought I would send it along thinking that when your FRW's visit their foster homes where youth reside they might bring this flyer along. I'm trying to utilize every possible opportunity to ensure youth in our care are aware of this event. I've also sent it to MSPCC/KidsNet for posting on their website.

 

Thanks for the help...

 

 

 

 

 

Medical Visits Needed with new placement

Just a reminder! Children that first come into care need a medical visit within the first 7 days and a full physical within 30 days!

(some Dr’s will do both at same time)

It’s also important to give the worker the forms as well!

I was just made aware of the Drug Training in Lynn on the same night as the Support Group. My understanding is that this is a great training and I know that some of you will be attending it from 6:00 to 8:00 at the Lynn Office. We have changed Support group to the following week 6/18. I hope this helps people get the most of both groups. If you haven't yet registered for the training please call Nancy Lyons to reserve your spot.

                                                                    See you the 18th. Gerrie

A great program for some summer fun!

From another foster parent

Summer is FINALLY coming! I don't know about you, but when it gets too hot to be outside, we go to places with a good A/C. This program is a great alternative to going to a mall or somewhere where you'll be spending a lot of money just to be out of the heat.

Register your family at http://www.kidsbowlfree.com yet?  Your kids will get 2 FREE Games of bowling every day all summer long at your participating center.  There are over 1,050 locations to choose from all over the country!

Please use my email sarahbearpatch@gmail.com. in the "referred by" field.  We'll both be entered to win some cool prizes including iPads and a trip to Walt Disney World!
