Mission Moment Monday: Flower Child 🌸
At Friends FM, one of our core values is helping every youth "find their spark". Sometimes it takes a while to find, and sometimes it shows up when you least expect it. For Molly, one of our newest kindergarteners, it turned out to be flowers.💐
Molly loved the Clubhouse but wasn’t interested in venturing out into the community. After many suggestions, her Friend Jacque suggested visiting a flower garden, and her face lit up. 😃
While at the NDSU gardens, Molly wanted to know what the bees and butterflies were doing. That led to a conversation about pollinators, which turned into how plants grow. A simple walk and talk became a science lesson behind the scenes -- and a big step forward in their relationship. 🦋
Now that her Friend knows what lights her up, they’ve been exploring gardens and plant stores together ever since. 🩵
