CONGRATULATIONS!!

You may remember that in our last newsletter, RUSC Kinship featured Tabitha VanHorn as a graduate of the RUSC Kinship program.

After graduating from Morris Area High School, Tabitha pursued Early Childhood Education classes at Alexandria Tech. We are so excited to share the news that Tabitha has been chosen to be starting her new daycare in one of the Day Care Pods in Morris. Congratulations to Tabitha VanHorn, we couldn’t be more excited for all that your future holds!
