Some changes in our lives

Well, a change is happening that I hoped I would not see. Due to economic down falls, the State of MO has cut the funding to Parents As Teachers by 60%. I will no longer be a parent educator. I still fully support the fundamentals of the Parents as Teachers program. It is a wonderful program. I have greatly grieved over this loss in my life. It has been a joy and pleasure working with and serving the families on my case load. I wish them all the best and hope that they will be able to continue with the program and continue to teach their children with the wonderful efforts that they have to this point. There are so many wonderful families in the Joplin School District. Thank you for inviting me into your home.

I have applied and interviewed for a job as a Family Education Support Specialist with Early Head Start in Joplin. I hope to receive this position and to continue to work with families.

Thank you to all my friends and family for the love and support you have given me through these changes.
