Eastern Idaho Public Health partnered with us to bring BLOCKFest to the Salmon area last Friday, April 5th. BLOCK Fest® is a family interactive event that uses five play stations to introduce participants to the educational value of blocks. BLOCK Fest is a research-based exhibit that helps raise awareness of early math and science skills while providing opportunities to increase social skills and literacy opportunities for young children by offering hands-on block play. Parents discover how they can help their children learn early math and science concepts while they play with blocks through guided play and conversation. The Mayor and County Commissioner joined in on the fun and proclaimed April as Child Abuse Prevention and Awareness Month, and reminded us all to do our part to protect our future generations. We had 79 participants. Thank you to all who made this wonderfully educational event possible. We are looking forward to future youth programming and building upon these community bonds.
