🏆We're so excited to share that we have earned Parents as Teachers Blue Ribbon Affiliate status for our Great Start Home Visiting Program. This is the organization's highest recognition of quality and fidelity standards. The reason we work hard to bring the very best every day? Because we're committed to building strong communities, thriving families, and children who are healthy, safe, and learning. 🧡
✨ Students in the Explorer class at our Next Step Transition Program are spreading kindness and brightening the world with their new micro-enterprise, "Bright Abilities." Under the guidance of teacher Karolynn Poff, students hand-pour each candle using coconut wax and essential oils while learning workplace, communication, and life skills. Last week, they set up shop in RESA's Administration Building, where they sold their candles to RESA staff. The experience helped students practice teamwork, customer service, and financial literacy while building confidence and independence. #BrightAbilities #PortraitOfALearner #WeAreSCCRESA
Today, we express gratitude to all who have served in the United States Armed Forces and honor their courage and sacrifice. #VeteransDay #WeAreSCCRESA
