Encompass Northwest honored the Snoqualmie Valley School District (SVSD) with the 2022 Community Partner Award at its Inspire Breakfast on April 26, at The Club at Snoqualmie Ridge.
In a letter to Superintendent Dr. Lance Gibbon, Encompass Executive Director Nela Cummings shared: “We are so grateful for our partnership with Snoqualmie Valley School District. Here are some recent examples this year that we are especially proud of:
- Our partnership in offering trauma-informed care training and ongoing consultation to elementary educators in the district;
- Collaborating with us to offer a Ready for Kindergarten event for all families with incoming Kindergarteners;
- Weekly visits by our Mobile Therapy Unit to most Snoqualmie Valley elementary schools; and,
- Providing free COVID testing to Encompass staff to ensure a safe and healthy working environment at our Child Development Center and Early Learning Center.”
