What are we accomplishing?

We are working to raise awareness about the importance of early learning and school readiness.

 

Events like Power of the Purse help raise funds to support:  

 

Imagination Library so that over 2400 young children in this area can continue to receive a quality, free book in the mail each month. 

 

Annual Parent Education workshops to help families build their parenting skills. 

 

Mobile learning opportunities for preschoolers each summer and winter. 

  

Wild about Kindergarten bags for 750 children attending kindergarten roundups in the area each spring.  

 

Read to Me" newsletters (3x each year) to families with children enrolled in Imagination Library.

The message of renewal will include information about how to:

  • Surround yourself with supportive people
  • Be supportive of others
  • Enjoy the small moments
  • Know that you can do whatever you dream in life
  • Shed your old rules and make up great new rules!
  • Put yourself first

    "Life's circumstances can rob you of your confidence and self esteem. I know, I've faced situations where I did not know that I would survive. Confidence was not something I felt. I invite you to sit with me for this keynote presentation and learn the key to revealing your value, igniting your confidence, and discovering your purpose in life."    Elizabeth
