Growing Up in Santa Cruz

February 2023

About the Cover

Everyone has been affected in one way or another by this winter’s devastating storms. This includes the youngest of Santa Cruz County’s community members. Our Natural Bridges Children’s Center preschoolers have been coming to school every day talking about their own family experiences and through play have been processing the beautiful ways in which they have seen community helpers, neighbors and complete strangers working together to rebuild their town.

This photo captures our kind and thoughtful Lily clearing a road so that she and all of her tricycle riding friends and classmates could get home. 

This embodies everything that we stand for and believe in at NBCC: Inspiring Learning ~ Creating Community ~ Building Bridges

About the photographer: Our awesome photographer and fabulous Pre-Kindergarten teacher Courtnay Schmidt while documenting children’s play, captured this special moment of Lily truly modeling NBCC’S mission statement; inspiring children’s play (inspiring learning) while gathering her friends (creating community) and rebuilding their NBCC town (building bridges).
