Hello Strengthening Families Partners,
One of our favorite times of the year is quickly approaching - - PARENT RECOGNITION MONTH - - in February!
There are only two more days left to nominate an Unsung Hero in your community. Celebrate those who bring joy and light into the lives of children by nominating them this year!
Since 2011, with your help, we have honored 337 parents and caregivers in Washington for the roles they have taken with their families, schools and communities. They have been recognized because they have shown strength, courage and empathy in their communities. Parents and caregivers around Washington State are supporting their children, families, and communities in exceptional ways and we want to show our appreciation. Please help us in honoring 29 more in February 2024 by nominating a parent/primary caregiver/guardian for the Unsung Hero award. The nomination form is available in three languages (English, Spanish and Somali). A parent panel will select one honoree for each day in February and then all honorees (including their family or supporters) and their nominators will be invited to an in-person celebratory dinner event in Olympia.
All nominations must be submitted by January 5, 2024. The nominations can be emailed to strengtheningfamilies@dcyf.wa.gov.
Please pass this on to your Washington networks. We appreciate your ongoing support and let us know if you have any questions. Thank you.
