Call to Action: Enacting Possibility

The Family Play Evenings that we’ve had, they give us a safe environment to let our children play. And you guys, the Play Team Members, make that environment safe, so that one time a month, we have that safeness to be able to go and play. My little one always asks when we drive by the Log Building, “Can we go play with Shelley?” So that’s something... That has really improved my son with his social skills, really coming out of his shell and being able to go talk to other kids. — Parent, Northwest Indian College

What I wanted to do today was get our son involved, get myself involved….I thought this would be a good thing to get into. I also wanted my son to see us a part of it. So that’s what was important to me. So that he could see us a part of a community event, something healthy, eating healthy, being social with people who are healthy. That way he gets used to people who are into the same things as him. — Parent, Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute
