Int he survey we asked families to share what programs and resources they would like for next year, as well as how they felt it best to communicate about the program. Due to overwelming demand both Konstella and Facebook groups have been created to share information, follow up resources, and provide communication with community partners. Feedback and progress of the program will be shared through these avenues.]]> 2017-09-10 14:36:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jmullen922/6mfz8x9ys7b2/wish/186153035 jmullen922 https://padlet.com/jmullen922/6mfz8x9ys7b2/wish/186153368 Harrell, M.
