Community partners are sponsoring a Books, Balls and Blocks event at the Resource Day this Saturday, March 19th from 1pm to 5pm in Downtown Jasper at the Courthouse Square.

Books, Balls, & Blocks (BBB) event is free, fun, family community-screening event for families and children (ages birth-5). This event is comprised of various activity stations in which children can engage in developmentally appropriate play while their parents complete a valid and reliable developmental questionnaire to pinpoint their child’s developmental progress. A trained professional will then review the screening results with the parent/caregiver, and provide information and referrals to any support or services that may be needed.📚
