A message from Diana:
"I want to express my deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported ConectandoUs. Over the past two years, we’ve accomplished so much together—connecting with nearly 100 families through 6 programs and collaborating with over 45 local agencies and organizations, making a meaningful impact in our community. Unfortunately, my personal circumstances no longer allow me to dedicate the time and energy needed to keep ConectandoUs going. This decision was not made lightly, and I want to thank Carroll County for embracing us and supporting our mission."

Un mensaje de Diana:
"Quiero expresar mi más profundo agradecimiento a todos quienes han apoyado a ConectandoUs. En los últimos dos años, hemos logrado mucho juntos: conectando con casi 100 familias a través de 6 programas y colaborando con más de 45 agencias y organizaciones locales. Lamentablemente, mis circunstancias personales ya no me permiten dedicar el tiempo y la energía necesarios para mantener a ConectandoUs en funcionamiento. Esta decisión no fue tomada a la ligera, y quiero agradecer a Carroll County por haber apoyado nuestra misión."

Aren’t our kids are the cutest?!

For those who are around middle schoolers often, you know this is one of the biggest compliments we could have received!
At ConectandoUs, we provide linguistically and culturally inclusive programs for all ages. Our programs focus on goal-oriented support, resource connection, skills-based learning, bilingual immersion, community engagement, and supportive environments. We do “like, a lot”! But we couldn’t do it without the support of this amazing community, get in touch with us to learn how you can become involved!

Yesterday, we had so much fun making flower pots of gratitude in our Not Just Sueños (Dreams) program! We talked about what gratitude means to each of us and how we can thank others in our lives for all that they do for us. The kids made a flower pot of gratitude for someone in their lives and also made a flower pot of gratitude for themselves! One of the kiddos made one for Miss Alexa and Miss Diana stating “I love studying with you guys”, “I love you both”, and “I like coming here”

Ayer nos divertimos mucho haciendo flores de gratitud en nuestro programa Not Just (No Solo) Sueños! Hablamos sobre lo que significa la gratitud y cómo podemos agradecer a las personas importantes en nuestras vidas por todo lo que hacen por nosotros. Los niños hicieron flores de gratitud para alguien en su vida y también hicieron flores de gratitud para ellos mismos! Uno de los niños hizo uno para la Señorita Alexa y la Señorita Diana, diciendo “me encanta estudiar con ustedes”, “las quiero”, y “me gusta venir aquí”
