From: Jackson Hole Children"s Museum To: Arne Jorgensen Subject: Time is Running Out! Date: Thursday, July 29, 2021 10:24:21 AM View this email in your browser "During a year of so much uncertainty, our family was so grateful to have the resources and support of local preschool programs at Children’s Learning Center, Jackson Hole Children’s Museum and Teton Literacy Center. It brought us peace of mind to know that there were caring, professional educators working to minimize the impact of this difficult year on our kids." – Jackson Hole Parent SEE ALL STORIES Hello friends and supporters, You’ve heard it before: kids are resilient. They’re capable of navigating big challenges and being okay. But with the help of caring teachers and peers, their chances are even better. When kids have professional support, guidance, and excellent education, they’re significantly more likely to come out of a challenging time — like the pandemic — with healthy social, emotional, and academic skills and on-track development. The Jackson Hole Children’s Museum, Teton Literacy Center, and Children’s Learning Center are dedicated to collaborating and implementing innovative programming to maximize the resilience of local kids in this critical moment. With programming that includes experience-based curricula as well as an expanded focus on social-emotional development, our organizations are teaming up to ensure that kids have every chance to be as resilient as possible. Your support of Champions for Children will empower us to continue this critical work. Healthy, happy kids make for healthy, happy families — which in turn makes for a thriving workforce, economy, and community. The ripple effect is endless. As we enter the final week of Champions for Children, our fundraising goal is within reach — but only if you make your gift now. You have the power to ensure that 90% of Teton County children get the best start possible. MAKE A GIFT TODAY In their own words.... The way in which high-quality early education enriches and empowers families are diverse, but all significant and meaningful. In their own words, hear how the resources provide in Jackson Hole impacted the lives of these amazing individuals. Strong Relationships and Opportunities Emerge for Families Magali is grateful to Teton Literacy Center for helping her daughter head into kindergarten with important classroom skills, basic reading abilities, and expanded literacy in both English and Spanish. Equally important, Magali says, is the community that surrounds TLC — parents and teachers develop strong relationships, and opportunities emerge for entire families. Playing with Intention “My son loves the Mountain Market and Jackson Jobs exhibits. It’s such an intriguing way for him to model the interactions that he sees around him every day, and he gets such joy from the opportunity to imagine being in these roles. I also love that through this kind of play, he starts to get exposure to math and science skills — checking out with his groceries at the market, measuring medicine for her patients as a vet — they’re important concepts that kids get to see in action, not just in a classroom.” – JHCM Parent SEE MORE STORIES Thank you Community Partners Community Foundation of Jackson Hole, Mountain Valley Glass, Owens Law Firm, and The Hub Bicycles When it comes to investing in the future of our community as well as the wellbeing of the employees we have today, there's no better choice than early childhood education. Parents who know their kids are happy, well cared-for, and developmentally on-track make more reliable and focused employees. And that's key to thriving businesses, a strong local economy, and a healthy community. THANK YOU CHAMPIONS!

As promised we will be hosting week two of our ARPA webinar series tomorrow (Friday) at 10 a.m., this time focusing on the guidance from the United States Treasury. We’ll be joined by Mike Wallace who is part of the legislative advocacy team for the National League of Cities. Mike will present a 30- minute overview to the Federal guidance and then will take 30 minutes of questions, so this is an excellent opportunity for you to bring your questions, possible spending ideas, etc. to bounce them off a subject matter expert who has been involved with this legislation since its inception. We hope you’ll be able to join us in person, but if not, we will of course be recording the presentation, and will send out a link for you to be able to review it at you convenience. Hope to see you tomorrow! Justin Justin Schilling is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
