Good morning, Nune,

This June, we’re celebrating impact, community, and connection.

In this month's issue, we’re proud to share our 2024 Impact Report, highlighting the progress our program participants have made with the support of Santa Maria. You'll also find a recent Spectrum News 1 feature on our Promoting Our Preschoolers program and the difference it's making for families in Price Hill.

Plus, don’t miss the details about our upcoming Safety Fest, a family-friendly event filled with fun activities, helpful resources, and ways to keep our community safe and strong.

There’s a lot to be proud of and even more to look forward to!

A POPular News Story

We recently had the privilege of collaborating with Spectrum News 1 on a story highlighting how Santa Maria’s Promoting Our Preschoolers (POP) program is helping families prepare for kindergarten with love, support, and personalized early education.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Scripps Howard Fund, our many other supporters and funders, and the dedication of our family advocates, more Price Hill families are getting the support they need to build strong educational foundations.

See the full story and see how POP is helping parents become their child’s first and most important teacher.

Safety Fest 2025

Our annual Summer Safety Fest in Lower Prill Hill is just around the corner on Friday, June 21, and we’d love for you to be there!

This free event is all about keeping families informed, supported, and connected. We’ll have fun activities for kids, safety tips for all ages, and access to valuable community resources.

You’ll also find giveaways, games, and opportunities to learn more about everything from fire safety to health screenings. It’s a great way to kick off the summer and connect with neighbors while helping keep our community safe and strong.

No registration required. Just stop by any time from 1 to 4 p.m. and say hello!

Thank you to our 2025 Passport to Success
