Happy Fall!

The Council is happy to report that we have recieved applications for 81 classrooms to participate in Qualistar ratings for the State Strategic Use Fund grant period of January 2001-March 2012.  We are in the review process and could possibly send the application our for another round in the Spring.  Please keep an eye on the blog for updates regarding this.

In October, the Council hosted the Colorado Children's Campaign in two of the four Counties of the Rural Resort Region.  In these presentation, participants learned about Kids Count data and the effect of the economy and upcoming elections on children and families.  The Campaign's website has a wealth of information on Colorado's children and families and can be found at www.coloradokids.org.
