Happy Independence Day -  Salute a Veteran!

This month we offer many daycare provider/parent training opportunities.  Our scheduled classes section lists the dates and times of all the classes. 

New this month is our Testimonial section.  This section is located on the left-hand column.  We thought it might be fun to showcase the great work our staff is doing out in the community. 

Enjoy,

Child Advocacy Staff

Tobacco Free

By Ty Warczinsky

GCSAC Coordinator

The dangers of cigarettes and tobacco loom in our world today. These substances can entice our youth, but the consequences and health effects of consuming them are life altering.  However, TV, tobacco companies and celebrities often communicate a different message to our youth.  

This contradiction is why I am pleased to announce that on May 27th, the Alma City Commission passed a resolution prohibiting smoking near and around play structures in our Alma City Parks.   This new resolution will not only go a long way in creating a safer environment for our youth and families, but it will also show our youth that tobacco is not the way. The Health Department has generously donated all of the signage for the city parks.  Eric Huff, the Alma High School Athletic Director, and Susan Smoker have significantly helped advocate for the smoke free parks.  Although a small victory in our pursuit of a healthier Gratiot, it is a substantial one.

A Meaningful Summer Craft

by Heather Gardner 

 CAC Coordinator

The Children's Advocacy Center of Gratiot County has a beautiful painted rock garden right outside the CAC's front door.  Some of the children we have worked with in our programs have painted small rocks that are displayed in our garden.  

We would love to add many more rocks to our collection!  If you are in need of a great summer craft project to work on with kids, think about adding to our rock collection.  Every time a child and their family come to the CAC, the first thing that greets them is our beautiful bright colored rocks.  These rocks are also the last thing they see as they leave the CAC.  Most of the children like to stop and look at all the rocks and talk about them with their family. 

Please contact us if you would like to help bring some more color to the CAC and the lives of the children and families we serve. Every rock creates a smile and makes a difference! Happy painting!
