Resources
Helping Hands are Available
giving-hands-together.jpg
Just a reminder of the resources that are always available for you.  
It is very important that parents are equipped with many resources to help them help their children and help themselves. As parents this is not easy, because we do not have all of the answers for our children.  Please take advantage of the several resources to  help you. Remember you are not alone in this.  It takes a village as we continue to heal as a community and continue to support our children!

Happy Mother's Day

M - O - T - H - E - R 
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"Tis for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell 
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
Howard Johnson (c. 1915)
