We’re excited to keep the fun going TOMORROW (May 12) at our next Books, Balls & Blocks event in Holmes County! Join us for a free morning of play, learning, and developmental activities for young children and their families. 📚⚽🧱

🕙 May 12 | 10 AM – 12 PM
📍 Holmes County Public Library
303 J Harvey Ethridge Street, Bonifay, FL 32425

Last week’s Books, Balls & Blocks event came with an unexpected lesson: what it means to stay calm, stay safe, and keep caring for children during uncertain moments. 🌪️

When a tornado warning was issued during the event, families, staff, and community partners quickly sheltered together—and the learning didn’t stop! From reading books to playing and connecting, we modeled something important for our children: safety, calm leadership, and resilience.

Early learning is about helping children feel safe, supported, and confident no matter what comes their way. 💙

We're a little biased and think our poster is the best. We'll take second place, though!

Our team had a great time connecting, learning, and sharing at the Help Me Grow Florida Annual Meeting in Orlando! Shoutout to our HMG staff, Tami Valdez and Amber Scott, for representing us—and for bringing home 🥈2nd place in the poster contest! 🎉

Together, we’re building stronger systems of support for children and families every day.
