MES Weekly Scoop
It's a great day to be a Bulldog! Bulldogs Don't Quit!
One thing that we have been doing this year that I am proud of is working on a skill of the week. These skills are from the Boys Town model and focus on one skill each week. I hope all of you have been able to check out our skill of the week on this newsletter. I encourage all parents and caregivers to use these skills at home. This week as I was typing the skill for this newsletter, I began to think about how important this weeks skill is.
I began to think about my history and how important participating in activities were to me. I true believe that if it wasn't for the many activities I was involved in as a youth I would not be where I am today. Participating in activities not only teaches so many life skills, it also brings joy to you and others.
One thing to think about when joining an activity. You don't have to be great at it. You just have to enjoy it, work at it, and it becomes easier. I hope all of our students find activities to join that are healthy, fun, and can keep them engaged in learning.

Moriah Dobrovolny, MES Family Advocate, recently was trained to become a Presumptive Eligibility Representative through KanCare.

The goal of PE is to provide consumers with immediate and temporary medical coverage while a KanCare application is processed. Applications must be completed with Moriah. If you are interested in applying, please call or text Moriah at 785-562-6818 to schedule an appointment.
