💡 Did You Know?

Imprints Cares’ Expanded Learning program serves more than 1,400 elementary and middle school students across Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools!

Before and after the school day, students have a safe, supportive environment where they can continue learning, receive homework help, participate in engaging activities, and build meaningful connections. Many of our Expanded Learning team members are teachers and staff from the schools they serve, providing children with familiar, trusted faces throughout their day.

For working families, it’s dependable care. For students, it’s a place to learn, grow, connect, and thrive—beyond the school day.

Harvest Moon Fun at Arbor Acres! 🎪🌙

We had the privilege of attending the Harvest Moon Carnival at Arbor Acres and sharing with staff and residents about Imprints Cares and the work we do to support children and families in our community.

It was a wonderful day filled with live entertainment, delicious food and drinks, an annual pie contest, local vendors, circus acts, and even Wednesday the Camel! 🐪🥧🎶

We are grateful to and Nyasia Whaley for inviting us to be part of such a fun community event and for the opportunity to make new connections and share our mission.

Thank you, Arbor Acres, for a wonderful day! 💙

Making Connections & Making Memories! 💦☀️

Our Parents as Teachers (PAT) and Family, Friends, & Neighbors (FFN) families recently enjoyed a fun-filled Group Connection at the Hathaway Park Splash Pad!

Families had the opportunity to cool off, enjoy lunch together, and—most importantly—connect with one another. These gatherings are about more than having fun. They give parents and caregivers a chance to build relationships, share experiences, and create a stronger sense of community while children play, learn, and grow together.

We love seeing our families building connections that support both parents and children! 💙

Community Champions

This week, we are proud to recognize Book Harvest as our Community Champion. Through their Book Babies program, the Book Harvest team joined us at the Center for Thriving Children Open House and helped make the day even more memorable for the children and families who attended.

Their team spent time reading with children, inspiring a love of books and learning, and generously provided books for each child to take home and enjoy. Their dedication to promoting early literacy and ensuring children have access to quality books aligns beautifully with our mission of nurturing children for lifelong success.

We are grateful for Book Harvest's partnership and the lasting impact they continue to make in the lives of children and families throughout our community.

Faces Behind the Mission

Meet Sarah Pitcher:

With more than 20 years of experience in education, Sarah Pitcher brings a deep passion for children, families, and learning to her role as a Family Educator at Imprints Cares. Using the evidence-based Parents as Teachers curriculum, Sarah partners with families to support their children’s development and help prepare them for success in school and in life.

Before joining Imprints Cares, Sarah taught eighth-grade English and served as a Montessori Guide for students in fourth, fifth, and sixth grades. She holds a bachelor’s degree in History and Political Science from Auburn University and a Master of Education from UNC Greensboro. For Sarah, becoming a Family Educator was a natural extension of the work she had already spent years doing with children and families.

“Watching the ‘a-ha’ moments with families is such a joy and privilege,” Sarah shares.

Outside of work, Sarah’s talents and interests are just as varied. She plays guitar, piano, ukulele, and a little mandolin, and her love of music began while growing up singing with her brothers and sisters. A twin and the youngest of six children, Sarah also loves puzzles and games and is an avid SEC football fan.

And here are two fun facts you may not know: Sarah can name every U.S. president in order—from memory—and she makes a mean banana pudding!

We are grateful to have Sarah as one of the many dedicated Faces Behind the Mission who help Imprints Cares nurture children for lifelong success.

Community Champions!

This week, we are proud to recognize GreeNest of Winston-Salem as our Community Champion for its incredible commitment to helping families create homes filled with dignity, comfort, and hope.

A safe, stable home provides the foundation every family needs to succeed. That is why we are grateful for our partnership with greeNest, a local nonprofit that helps individuals and families transitioning into sustainable housing furnish their homes with donated furniture and household essentials.

Through the generosity of community donors and dedicated volunteers, greeNest carefully prepares and stages donated items in a welcoming showroom. Families, accompanied by caseworkers from partner agencies, are empowered to personally select the furnishings that best meet their needs and reflect their preferences, restoring dignity and fostering a sense of ownership.

Recently, one of our Parents as Teachers (PAT) families had the opportunity to visit greeNest with the support of their Imprints Cares family educator, Debbie. Together, they selected furniture that best fit their family's needs, including two twin beds so each of their children could have a bed of their own. This experience gave the family more than household furnishings, it provided comfort, stability, and the opportunity to create a home where their children can feel secure and flourish.

At Imprints Cares, we know that when families have a safe, welcoming place to call home, children are better positioned to learn, grow, and reach their full potential. We are grateful for partners like greeNest who make that possible.

Thank you, greeNest, for being an invaluable partner in strengthening families throughout our community. Together, we are helping build brighter futures—one home, one family, and one child at a time.
