Greetings Families, Partners, and LTI Community
June has arrived! School will be ending soon and everyone is
looking for summer programs. Our schedule is continuing throughout the summer,
and we have new volunteers who are excited to share of themselves for the
enjoyment of all of us.
Here is news from across the region:
A warm THANK YOU to our hosts of the last three years, Caring
Hearts CDC. They have been a generous and welcoming partner, and we appreciate
their support as we grow into a larger space.
Now we need YOU to volunteer to help grow this new community. We
are looking for dedicated volunteers to teach classes and help us spread the
word on our valuable services. Interested? Call Nancy Doan at 650-967-4813 or
email nancydoan5@gmail.com

June SEEDS Challenge
Take a SEEDS challenge! – while out with your child this month,
choose a color or shape and find things around you that are that color or
shape. Makes outings more fun, builds vocabulary and literacy skills, and
teaches awareness of the world around

Fond Farewell.....
This month we will be saying a fond farewell to two long-time
staff members, Hadas Keppel and Yadira Rios.
Both will be very much
missed! If you would like to send either of them a message, you can email to mercystreetfrc@gmail.com
