Hello Families, Partners, and LTI Community
The heat of Summer is on! We are so blessed in this area to have many great places to explore, cool off, and play with the family.Lots of exciting events and happenings across our communities. Here is your August Blog.
Highlights:
- Backpack distribution from Mountain View Kiwanis and Silicon Valley Lion's Club One hundred backpacks were filled with supplies and delivered to the FRC for families. 25 went to students at San Miguel Elementary in Sunnyvale, and the rest were distributed to families who came to Mercy Street FRC for the event. We are proud to partner with the Kiwanis and Lions Clubs again for the third year to help identify families in need and distribute them to excited students. Families across our communities are eligible.
