To our valued Approved Providers, 

As we approach the end of the calendar year, we extend a warm thank you to our dedicated ESCs and APs who play an integral role in supporting the Strong Foundations Planning initiative. Your unwavering commitment and collaborative spirit have been instrumental in advancing our shared mission of enhancing educational foundations. In this December edition, we celebrate the successes achieved through our collective efforts and express gratitude for the invaluable contributions each of you brings to the table. Together, we look forward to a new year filled with continued collaboration, innovation, and impactful partnerships. 

Best, 

The Strong Foundations Planning Team
