In June, ParentChild+ celebrated the graduation of 93 children and their families who completed the full two-year program; our partner site in Cass County celebrated with their 11 graduates. The COVID-19 pandemic restricted us from celebrating in a large group gathering, but ParentChild+ staff found unique ways to honor each individual graduating family. All staff followed safety protocols to provide home deliveries of graduation hats and backpacks for each graduating child, photo buttons for the parents and a framed certificate of completion for the family.
