CASA of San Luis Obispo County

Malcolm X is pictured here with two of his daughters along with Muhammad Ali and his daughter. February is Black History Month and this year's theme is The Black Family: Representation, Identity, and Diversity. #blackhistory #blackhistorymonth #blackhistorymonth2021 #blackhistoryisamericanhistory #malcolmx #muhammadali #blackfathers #blackfamily

Whether children are learning in the classroom or at home, they need extra support with the challenges of school. CASA volunteers connect with children in foster care to make sure their educational needs are being met during these challenging times. #courtappointedspecialadvocates #helpingothers #helpfosterchildren #helpafosterchild #SLOCASA

December is Safe Toys & Gifts Month Safety tips to keep in mind this holiday season: Balloons Children can choke or suffocate on deflated or broken balloons. Keep deflated balloons away from children younger than eight years old. Discard broken balloons immediately. Small balls and other toys with small parts... For children younger than age three, avoid toys with small parts, which can cause choking. Scooters and other riding toys Riding toys, skateboards and in-line skates go fast, and falls could be deadly. Helmets and safety gear should be worn properly at all times and they should be sized to fit. Magnets High-powered magnet sets are dangerous and should be kept away from children. Whether marketed for children or adults, building and play sets with small magnets should also be kept away from small children. Once gifts are open: Immediately discard plastic wrapping or other toy packaging before the wrapping and packaging become dangerous playthings. Keep toys appropriate for older children away from younger siblings. Battery charging should be supervised by adults. Chargers and adapters can pose thermal burn hazards to young children. Pay attention to instructions and warnings on battery chargers. Some chargers lack any mechanism to prevent overcharging.
