Community Day at Pence - it was a unique opportunity to experience the leadership at Pence firsthand. It was an opportunity to see all of the goals, the growth, the essence of what makes Pence such an amazing place to be everyday. They both came home talking about it. It will forever be a core memory for them both. 🥰

Thank you, Pence Elementary-Fairfield, IA, for all you for our kids each and every day.

According to Carl Benedict, "Self-care means honoring and respecting the miraculous being that you are. Self-care means learning to listen with the ear of a dedicated mother to your physical, emotional, and spiritual needs, and then taking full responsibility for getting them met. Self-care means taking 100% responsibility for creating an environment that nurtures your physical, emotional and spiritual selves." Take care of yourself each and every day. You will get there, one step at a time.
