It’s Graduation Day!!!

Congratulations to Ulices for graduating from the Green River District Health Department’s HANDS program!!

Mom said, "Today is my son Ulices' graduation day! I congratulate him on graduating from the Department of Health's hands program. I'm so content and happy that my son and I have participated in this program for three years. I've learned so much, and we've had some wonderful and incredible moments together. I'm so grateful for everything they taught me about what my son can learn according to his stages of physical and emotional growth and development. I'm grateful and highly recommend this program to other parents. You learn so many things about your children that you never knew before.
In my case, I am very grateful and happy with Mariel. She was a wonderful, kind, and attentive person to us, as she took the time and patience to visit my son. I loved meeting her and that she offered me her friendship. Likewise, I am very grateful to Lauren for taking the time to see the progress in Ulices' learning, I am very grateful for her thoughtful gestures and friendship; we loved meeting her."
