FW: Sibling Connections - attachements included!

 

If you have a child placed with you and their sibling is placed separate. This is a great camp!

 

Hi Tracy, 

 

Here is information about our programs: 

 

Camp to Belong Massachusetts started over 11 years ago, but is part of a larger brand of camps that serves siblings separated by foster care and other living situations.  Some of the activities include a camp-wide birthday party that gives the siblings an opportunity to celebrate birthdays with one another.  We also have horseback riding, a talent show, and other great events.  We host 120 children, and have approximately 70 volunteers, which is an amazing ratio, and really helps to support the kids.  The counselors will be undergoing a training hosted by Life is Good, which helps them to understand working with kids with trauma. 

 

· Serve siblings separated by foster care between the ages of 7-20 

· As long as one sibling is separated the entire family is eligible 

· We are an approve vendor with DCF, however if camp money is not available, we can help. We have never turned campers away due to funding

· Camp runs from August 16th - 21st 

· Provide bus locations ( reading, Lowell, Springfield, Middleboro) that transport kids to camp 

 

Other than Camp to Belong, Sibling Connections hosts monthly get togethers for the campers and other sibling groups around the state.  "Sibling Sunday" meets for 3 hours, one Sunday a month from October to May.  We have some amazing activities, for instance last month we worked with engineering students from UMASS Lowell to build model airplanes and marshmallow structures, but also for some of the older kids, we gave them a tour of the college.  

 

 

I have included the following: 

 

1. Sibling Connections Flyn

2. Application ( Camp to Belong MA) 

3. Sibling Sunday Referral Form 

 

Please contact Kelley at 617-335-1292 if you have any questions. We currently do not have a waiting list, but please send contact Kelley ASAP before filling out the application. 

 

Best,

Kelley

Hi

 

Attached is the 2015-2016 Foster Child Grant Application. Please use this moving forward for any youth attending school for the 2015-2016 academic year. If you have submitted one already with last year's form, it will not be accepted and they will need to complete a new one. These forms will also be available on the W drive and the DCF website- Adolescent Services.

Onesight program at LensCrafters

 

 

Carla my daughter Heather manages the Drs office at lensecrafters. They have had a number of calls about the program.  She asked if you could forward this email for clarification. Thanks. Gerrie

 

 

Subject: Onesight program at LensCrafters

 

Please share this information

 

To make things as easy as possible when accessing the OneSight program here are some specifics:

 

OneSight provides a free pair of glasses which in most cases are made that same day. You will need to bring a valid eyeglass prescription with you. 

 

You do not need an appointment to come in for glasses but you do need to have the OneSight referral in hand. Best times to come in to the store are Sun 11-6 and M-F 10-9, be sure to mention to the LensCrafters associate that you have a OneSight referral when first approached. 

 

Free Eye Exams are also provided when the child does not have a valid prescription for glasses and/or they do not have insurance coverage for eye exams. MassHealth does cover exams but if the prescription has expired prior to the child's eligibility for a new exam they can be seen. You do need to have an appointment for the exam. The referral needs to be sent in first and then the office will contact you to schedule an appointment. 

 

Referral can be faxed ahead of time to Judy at 978-531-4760, I recommend calling to verify its there before coming in when just coming for glasses. 

 

If you have any trouble with prescription or eye exam issues you can email Heather at peabodyeyeassociates@gmail.com or call Judy at 978-531-9440.
