A MESSAGE TO FAMILIES, COMMUNITY MEMBERS, & EDUCATORS
Happy December!
This month the CFLC newsletter focus is about teaching children generosity and giving to others during our December holiday season and beyond. The parenting articles and featured materials focus on teaching generosity and teaching the importance of helping others. Look in the community postings section below for volunteering opportunities.
