❤️Child Abuse Prevention Month

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month! SCA representatives gathered at the front of Mosaic ES to “plant” a pinwheel garden on Tuesday afternoon for Child Abuse Prevention Month. Pinwheels represent hope for a happy and healthy childhood free from abuse and neglect. This symbol was adopted in 2008 by Prevent Child Abuse America, whose mission is to prevent child abuse and neglect of all children in the United States. #PinwheelsForPrevention #BuildingStrongerFamilies
