Last week, we had the chance to attend the Sully art show, and it was truly a highlight. We were invited to select 10 prints to display in our Newton office, and we’re excited to have them up on our walls. If you’d like, stop by anytime to see them in person!

A special shout out to all the kids who participated in the show. Their creativity and talent were incredibly inspiring. Help us celebrate these amazing young artists!

🥁drum roll please!

The winner of our cookie-pong competition goes to Jennifer Sharkey and Brooke Hockett! They had to race against their peers to get a cookie from their forehead to their mouth (with no hands) and their partner then had to get the ball in the basket.

Winner winner cookies for dinner, baby!!🤩

It's time for our mid-month check-in. What's one thing you're proud of this month?

We'll go first: we're proud of the progress our teams have made in implementing the tools they've learned in training. We're seeing more staff using the PAUSE from R-Factor or CALMing the Amygdala from Ukeru in real, everyday moments. Red flag meetings continue to be a major strength across the organization. Thank you, teams! You make us better.

Now it’s your turn!
