We had a successful Respite Fun Day at the Chadron Aquatic Center with 22 individuals attending. Comments from the families included:
We enjoyed the event and had fun swimming. It was great to get out of the house and have a good day!
Thank you for hosting!!!
The swimming was a very nice activity well enjoyed by kids and adults. Thank you.
Absolutely loved respite fun day! It was a great experience! The kiddos got to meet other kids while doing so.
Our next event is December 2 in Scottsbluff. The flyer and registration form are attached.
We are excited at the continued increase in respite usage and hope you will continue to refer families who have a child on an IEP or IFSP or even a 504 Plan. I attached our most recent Provider list. We are still looking for providers, especially in Box Butte, Sheridan, Morrill, Cheyenne and Kimball Counties. Many families really enjoy that the kids can participate in activities such as dance, gymnastics and swimming.
Please contact Ms. Tyree-Bowers or Ms. Alvord for more information.
