2008 Legislative
Wrap-Up




Emotional well-being is critical for children's success in school. To help families better support their children in this area, South Dakota Voices for Children and the South Dakota State University Cooperative Extension Service are making available the Wings for Life newsletter series for distribution to parents at fall parent-teacher conferences.


The mission of South Dakota Voices for Children is to improve the lives of children through policy and program advocacy.
 

Our vision is that the needs of all South Dakota children are met, including food, clothing, shelter, health care, nurturing, education and safety within the family and the community.
