Fruit & Boot Camp


Norton Healthcare staff members taught a class at our facility to promote children's wellness and safety.  They made a fruit and yogurt parfait and talked to our moms about being more health conscious in their desserts. They also shared a video for children from the Go Noodle website called Koo Koo Kangaroo's Milkshake. It's designed to get families together to do silly things to learn.  Norton's staff also performed a car seat check for our clients while they were here.  Thank you Norton Healthcare for your partnership--we learn so much from you!
THE GRADUATE
Nikeshia is our very first e-school graduate who received her high school diploma.  This was done through online course work through our partnership with Jefferson County High School which allowed Nikeshia to complete her needed classes to receive her high school diploma.  She was helped by our academic team and Charlie our faithful volunteer math tutor.  Good job team and congratulations Nikeshia!
  
GO KROGERING!
Last quarter, $1800 was raised by our supporters who used their Kroger Rewards cards. It doesn't take away from your points--Kroger gives us money based on your spending. If you are a Kroger shopper, please consider this easy way to support this ministry.
