In Women's History Month, we honor the strides we've made and face the challenges still ahead.

A stark reality remains: while lack of affordable housing is often the primary reason people become homeless, domestic violence is the leading cause of homelessness for women and children. This month, let's renew our commitment to safe homes and lives free from violence. Together, we can change the narrative. 🏠💜

Just wrapped up an amazing lesson on healthy eating with our Strong Foundations preschool class! 🍏🥕 We dove into the colorful world of fruits and vegetables, discovering not just their incredible health benefits but also the importance of being open to new tastes and textures.
