Hey Everybody!

February has come and gone and we are excited to start March! We had a lot of great learning activities this month. We had a discussion about manners, at the Orchard Mesa Library, which included reminders to say please and thank-you & to keep our voices down. We went to the Botanical Gardens to discuss how to take care of plants and different types of butterflies. On February 19th, our talent show was a great time. Thank you to all of the parents, friends, and host home providers who came to see us and our talents!

Our volunteer programs continue to do well; Catholic Outreach, Salvation Army, and Food Bank continue to provide us with a means to give back to our community and we are grateful for that opportunity. We are starting to get excited that Adopt-a-Park will be starting again in April.

As we come to the end of winter, please remember that it is still important to send a coat because the weather continues to fluctuate. Gloves and hats are also great additions to help everyone to stay warmer!

Also, please keep anyone who is sick at home. We are trying our best to keep everyone healthy and keep those germs away! We have done a great job this winter season and have not had any major outbreaks so let’s keep it up for another month or two!

Please be sure to check out the Attached March calendar as we have a lot of fun and exciting things planned!

As always, we would like to thank the families and host home providers for making ABLE a continuing success. Please let us know if you have suggestions, questions, or comments. We would love to hear from you.
