When schools, families, and communities work together, good things happen!

A recent UKNow article highlighted our partnership with Picadome Elementary. This collaboration brought together school staff, students, caregivers, and across the school year to support well-being through shared learning, creativity, and connection.

We are proud of this partnership and are grateful to Picadome, Fayette County Public Schools, and all the caregivers who joined us this school year. We are also thankful for support from the UK College of Education and the UK HealthCare Healthy Kentucky Initiative.
