Under the leadership of Julie Kozan, we hosted a Local Leadership Group Roundtable event providing valuable information on resources available for our home visitors to share with our families. Thank you to the following entities for participating: Families and Children Together (FACT), Saginaw County Michigan Department of Health & Human Services, Saginaw County Friend of the Court, Mustard Seed Shelter, and Saginaw County Community Action Center (CAC).
Last week, the Great Start to Quality Eastern Team joined the nine other Resource Centers and the Early Childhood Investment Corporation for a 2-day Statewide Meeting. Among other learning, we took a deep dive into the Statewide and Regional data. On day two, it was requested that each Resource Center team choose a theme and dress according to the theme. Our team decided on "Strength-Based". After choosing individual strengths, we decided to dress in '80s workout gear and wrote our strengths on our headbands. We then created a vision board based on the data. We love connecting together and connecting with our colleagues across the state! We are stronger together! #GreatStarttoQuality #SaginawISD #OurStory
