URGENT!
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to approve a budget resolution that sets the stage for Medicaid cuts. As Congress continues to consider legislation that could make deep cuts to the federal Medicaid program, we must push back on these attempts and tell Congress why Medicaid is so important to I/DD services.

"I like math and numbers, I like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division but my favorite is multiplication. I am enjoying completing my arithmetic book. Sometimes I use the calculator, my staff helps me and explains when I don’t understand, they also encourage me to use pencil and paper, so I don’t use the calculator too much, my staff says it’s good for my brain. My name is Florence, and I love Math."

Traveling with Ty- Some places I have been to recently with my family are Hershey Park, The Great Wolf Lodge, Applebee’s, McDonalds, and Denville Dairy. I highly recommend all these places, I had so much fun. I would say my favorite place I have been to is Hershey Park. Some places I hope to travel to soon are the Caymen Islands, Disney World, Pt. Pleasant Beach and the Readington Balloon Festival. I like traveling in a car, planes are kind of scary and make my ears pop.

"I had fun helping make the soup. It tasted really good. I liked chopping up the vegetables and cutting the cheese. I help stir the cheese. We made broccoli cheddar soup for cooking club." By: Katie P.
