Greetings Families, Partners, and LTI Community
We’re winding down our
events schedule for the end of the fiscal year, but we still have several
special classes you can join, along with your usual favorites. Hope to see you
soon.
Here’s this month’s news
Thank You for Your
Support!
Last month, CHAC applied
to FIRST 5 to continue receiving funding for the Mercy Street FRC Learning
Together Initiative. We will receive word toward the end of May, and will be
sure to keep you posted.
We want to thank all
of you who offered letters of heartfelt support for this program. That will
have an impact on the decision of the commissioners. Our community has grown
into a dynamic and passionate one over the past 4 years, and we are hopeful
about continuing. We promise to keep you informed! If you are interested in further supporting
our efforts, please contact Program Director, Maddi Pascua at (650) 967-4813,
or by e-mail at mpascua.chac@gmail.com.
More news coming soon!
Spring Family Fun
Day – A Blooming Good Time! What a fantastic
celebration of Spring at our Spring Family Fun day. Our progressive art project
was a big hit with the kids, and all the activities kept everyone outside and
moving. Pictures will be posted on Facebook and here.
“It was one of those events where everything clicked. My
kids and I had a great time.”
--E.S., father.
Potter the Otter

pictures from the event.
