We are starting off the week right with another offer from a beloved Golestan partner.

They bake allergen-friendly, healthy sweet snacks that the entire family will devour. EC's moist, chewy and soft-baked cookies are free of the top 8 allergens and are perfect for when yo...ur child asks for a cookie for breakfast.

As Golestan continues to grow our community, we are excited to welcome new organizational partners we adore. This month, we will be sharing generous opportunities shared by some of these partners, exclusively with the Golestan community! Nar Collection is the result of Safoura Zoroufchi’s study and design efforts in bringing the luxury of Persian arts to the discerning collectorand Golestan's newest partner. Check out her breathtaking collection of scarves, jewelry, and clut...ches. Every purchase made between now and the end of May using code golestan15 gives you 15 percent off, and 15 percent goes back to Golestan, too! Happy shopping. https://www.narcollection.com/

In contrast to your usual run-of-the-mill static playground structures, loose parts in natural playscapes create infinite opportunities for creativity, courage, and collaboration. Join the movement to transform school playgrounds everywhere. www.golestankids.com/colab

Just a few more hours ‘til we bid farewell to this strange and challenging year. We are so grateful to our community for supporting our efforts to safely reopen our doors for our beloved students earlier this year, as well as our pursuit to aid schools in the Bay Area and beyond in returning to in-person instruction. Please consider a year-end donation to help us continue to persevere through these challenges, and Happy New Year! https://golestankids.com/how-to-support-golestan/
