1.)   Thank you for a great Early Learning Virtual Professional Development Day – STARS and Clock Hours
Thank you all for participating in our 3rd annually Early Learning Virtual Professional Development Day. I hope you enjoyed the sessions and trainers and have a lot to take back to your classrooms. By the end of the week I will have inputted ALL of the STARS hours for these sessions into your MERIT accounts. There is nothing else you need to do. If you or your staff were planning on receiving CLOCK hours for the sessions and don’t have the code for a particular session please email me and I can send the codes to you. 
 
2.)   Fulcrum Early Childhood Education Grant is open
The application link, details and additional resources for the Fulcrum Early Childhood Education Fund Grant is now open. The Application will be open for one month and will close on Monday, March 6th. At our January Early Learning Roundtable I presented an overview of the grant. Please click on the link below for that video. I have also included the link to all the application materials that I sent to you previously.  Looking forward to another great year of applications.

3.)   Registration for the Friday, March 10th In-Person Event Registration is open
Last Wednesday you should have received an email from me about the Registration for the Friday, March 10th In-Person Early Learning Event at St. Thomas Church in Tukwila. In that communication I included the agenda, objectives and other details for the day. I look forward to the time we will be able to share together. 



Have a great week!
