MEDICAL UPDATE: A SETBACK FOR SHARBRAL PRUETT

Marshall Pruett’s wife Sharbral has been fighting breast cancer since 2018. The disease has been beaten back twice; but Molly Binks (who manages Sharbral’s Go Fund Me page) reports that there’s been another recurrence. Binks says a new Go Fund Me page will be launched from racer.com – the current page to be closed soon.

 

WHAT’S UP THIS SUMMER AT THE MENDEZ FOUNDATION

Got this from Charles Mendez on Too Good, the foundation’s comprehensive family of substance use and violence prevention curricula designed to mitigate the risk factors associated with risky behavior and build protection within the child:

“Summer is a wonderful time of year to introduce children to healthy foods. It’s a great time to take a bread from the daily routine and stop to enjoy the world outside of school, try new things, set new goals and expand our daily habits. Introducing new healthy foods to young ones before school starts can make the transition back to school an easier one, as healthy habits are kicked off before the school year starts. Instilling healthy habits early on will not only support children’s mental and physical states but will also empower them to nourish themselves and be better prepared for life’s goals and challenges. Read our latest blog post to discover ways to encourage choosing a healthy, nutrient dense diet.”

Too Good develops a framework of Social Emotional skills through the development of goal-setting, decision-making, and effective communication skills in addition to peer pressure refusal, pro-social bonding, conflict resolution, and media literacy. Too Good builds the basis for a safe, supportive, and respectful learning environment.
