Today we are flashing back to November's National Adoption Day event!
The TGCCSB is always honored, and excited, to be a part of this event. A celebration of the finalization of the adoption process for many of our Tom Green County Foster kids. Several businesses helped sponsor this event that was held in the Cactus Hotel. Our 2024 theme was "O-fish-ally Forever".

Monday Member Spotlight
✨Carrie Scott✨
Carrie is a transplant from Tyler, Texas. After moving to San Angelo, 14 years ago, she fell in love with the town and its people.
She was invited to a TGCCS board meeting, by a friend, and knew right away that this was a very special group of people with a very special mission. She loves knowing that they are helping kids in foster care make smoother transitions for a better life.
After almost 20 years, as a medical assistant, she moved to San Angelo and followed her passion of becoming a Middle Eastern dance instructor and leading her dance troupe in performances all over the Concho Valley. In her spare time she enjoys crafting, traveling, and spending time with her two grandchildren.

Monday Member Spotlight!
🌟William Tucker🌟
I'm a Licensed Master Social Worker currently providing services to young adults who have aged out of the foster care system. I have worked in social services in the Concho Valley for 24 years and I am passionate about giving back to the community. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with friends and family, cooking and baking, gardening, and movies (I'm a big horror movie fan).
I was a member of the Child Services Board over 15 years ago, and I appreciated the opportunities that I was given to serve children in foster care, their families, and DFPS employees in ways that were tangible and meaningful. When I was working at CPS, I was the liaison to the board. After finishing graduate school, I knew I wanted to find a volunteer opportunity. When I was asked to rejoin the Child Services Board, I was happy to come back to an organization that I knew was benefitting a cause that I stand behind that benefits a population I believe is truly worthy. I hope that some of the things I learned in my social work education might benefit the board and the people that we serve.

**Welcome back, William (Tucker 😊)! We appreciate all that you do!!**

It's MONDAY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT time! 🌟

Hi, my name is Jennifer Salvato and I am so excited to be a member of the TGC Child Services Board. I have been a part of the San Angelo community for many years. I graduated from ASU and after working in both Midland and Brady school districts for about 12 years, returned to my San Angelo roots. I have been involved with SAISD for the past fourteen years. I love working with kids and helping them learn and grow. When I am not working, I enjoy cooking, reading, and mountain vacations. You will also find me playing with my pups, Molly and Lilly.
I chose to join this group because I believe that its efforts to assist foster children and their families makes a BIG difference. I have only been on the board for a short time and have already witnessed the positive impact we are able to have on many young lives.

DID YOU KNOW that only 50% of children in foster care will graduate high school? That's a staggering number. So you can imagine how incredibly proud the Tom Green County Child Services Board is when we get to supply current, graduating, high school seniors (in the system) with a new laptop to help them on their journey! CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2024 GRADUATES!!!

It's Monday Member Spotlight time again!! This week's spotlight is on Maria! After a recommendation from a former member, she attended her first meeting and the rest is history! She was looking for opportunities to get involved in the community and the Tom Green County Child Services Board was a good fit! Maria has been with us for just over a year now and she is an incredible addition to the Board!! In her spare time she paints with oils and sculpts with ceramic and polymer clay. She enjoys cooking, very much, and loves to try new recipes. She's a dog mom and loves spending her free time with her babies. Thank you, Maria, for volunteering your time and talents to the Board!

We're starting a new series this month! MONDAY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT! We appreciate all of our board members and we would like for you to get to know them a little better! Our first spotlight is Sierra Brady!
Sierra joined the board in 2023 and has been such an incredible addition. When asked why she chose the Tom Green County Child Services Board, she said "As someone who has a heart and passion for children, the Child Services Board was a great opportunity for me to take that passion and volunteer on a board that's mission is to help better the lives of Foster Children in our community."
Sierra is passionate about family and community. She helps run her family's business and is a successful entrepreneur herself. In her spare time she enjoys hanging out with her family, volunteering at her daughter's school, and travel.
Thank you, Sierra, for all of your hard work!!
