Dear Colleagues and Friends of Community of Caring,

I am saddened to report that the EKS National Center for Community of Caring will be going on a hiatus as of June 30, 2013.  We are reassessing the center and its infrastructure. 

We have had a number of successful years at the University of Utah, but this past year has been very difficult in terms of grant and contract funding.

We will not be accepting any more contracts nor fulfilling any more merchandise orders.

We wish you the best as you move forward in creating school environments that are inclusive for all children.  The five core values of Caring, Respect, Responsibility, Trust, and Family continue to be important elements of schools seeking to provide a positive and safe space for children to learn and grow.

I appreciate the friendship and support that you have shown me in my 5 years with Community of Caring.

With Deepest Respect,
Paula Smith
