August Newsletter
Peace & Blessings Mighty Little Giants Family and Happy AUGUST!
We hope that all is well with you and all of your families.

Welp... It's that time again for another MLG update!

Word of the month is: SHINE - "Give out a bright light."
Even when you're feeling down, remember that you're always someones light! SHINE BRIGHT!
August is National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, a time to promote the importance of breastfeeding. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the World Health Organization both recommend that infants be exclusively breastfed for their first six months. (https://www.lmh.org/)

The BACK TO SCHOOL event at Penny Lane was a HIT! THANK YOU SO MUCH to Project Joy and Penny Lane for coordinating such an amazing event for the Community.
