Greetings,     
    

Phew! A Gallery Walk at a Regional Council Meeting, Early Childhood Day at the Legislature, and an invitation to participate in a federal grant opportunity. It has been a busy couple of weeks for the ONE/BBF community!

 

And there are no signs the pace is slowing down this month.  The next 90 days will bring our first Let's Grow Kids Action Team Meeting, Dabble Day, and the week of the Young Child events and Parade.  Please help get the word out by forwarding this newsletter and the attached flyers and materials to families, neighbors and colleagues. 

 

Finally, Thank You, Thank You, Thank You to everyone who has participated, collaborated and contributed to this work.  I am so grateful to work among a community of such skilled and dedicated champions for young children.  

 

Sincerely,

 

Martha Braithwaite
