Back to School, You’ve Got This!

The new school year is almost here, and with it comes fresh routines, new goals, and plenty of opportunities for growth. At CCGC, we know that the back-to-school transition can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming for kids and parents alike.

Here are a few simple ways to help your family start the year strong:
✅ Ease into routines early – Start adjusting bedtimes, wake-ups, and morning rituals now to make school days smoother.
✅ Create a calm check-in time – Set aside a few minutes each evening to talk about the day’s highs and lows.
✅ Plan for self-care – Healthy snacks, outdoor play, and downtime help keep minds and moods balanced.
✅ Connect with school supports – Don’t hesitate to reach out to teachers, counselors, or our team if your child needs extra help.

Remember: a successful school year isn’t just about grades, it’s about building confidence, resilience, and joy in learning. We’re here to support your child’s mental health and well-being every step of the way. 💙

🌟 After nearly a decade of incredible service, we’re sending our heartfelt congratulations to Nancy Dube on her well-deserved retirement! 🌟

Since joining the Community Child Guidance Clinic in June 2016, Nancy has been so much more than our Director of Administrative Services; she’s been a cornerstone of our organization. Over the years, she’s worn many hats: leading our HR team, overseeing our facilities, and ensuring compliance across all programs. But her true impact goes far beyond job titles.

Nancy has supported every corner of CCGC with grace, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. Whether guiding us through complex challenges, mentoring team members, or making sure our work environment was safe and supportive, her influence has shaped who we are today.

We’ll miss her steady leadership and sharp eye for detail, but we’re thrilled for all the adventures ahead! From poolside swimming lessons with her grandchildren this summer to a cross-country road trip next year with her husband, Nancy has a full calendar of joy and well-earned relaxation.

Please join us in thanking Nancy for everything she’s done for CCGC and in wishing her all the best as she embraces this exciting new chapter. Congratulations, Nancy! 💐🎉

🤝 M&T Bank: Investing in Kids, Families, and Community
Our heartfelt thanks to M&T Bank for their role as Power-Up Partner Sponsor at our Growing Together Gathering. Their support made a real impact—and not just on Game Night!
As one of the region’s most community-focused banks, M&T has given over $47 million through their charitable foundation and logged more than 161,500 hours of volunteer service. That’s the kind of hands-on commitment we value deeply at CCGC.
Their belief in strengthening local communities aligns perfectly with our mission of promoting wellness, equity, and opportunity for all. 💛
