Yesterday, Melanie Brown's classes were part of an amazing activity on Developmental Relationships. Kennidi Ridgell, our School Based Site Coordinator from Arkansas Foundation for Medical Care, facilitated this activity to help identify healthy and unhealthy relationships.

Thanks Ms. Brown and Ms. Ridgell.
