February is I Love to Read Month. ❤ The participants in the Learning Always program have regular volunteers who help them with their reading. Recently they each read a book and did book reports. Thank you to Children's Hospital Foundation of Manitoba Book Market for the recent donation of several dozens of books! The children are enjoying them.

The Young Mothers’ Program runs weekly at Rossbrook House giving moms time to socialize with their peers. They also learn from each other and special guests, do crafts or go out while their children are babysat at Rossbrook House. Recently they went for manicures, a relaxing and special outing for these busy moms!
This program has been running for decades! Our friends at Harrow United Church gave a donation of items that included beautiful hand-knitted baby doll outfits from crafter Linda, with the dolls, as well as socks, a baby blanket, some stuffies, and more. Thank you, Harrow United Church, Winnipeg .

Happy 50th Birthday Rossbrook House! It is an absolute joy to celebrate you. I have a treasure chest of fond memories of you which I call upon so very often.
I began my Rossbrook House experience as a volunteer working the 5:00 pm to midnight shift on Friday nights. That’s when I was won over by the attenders, the staff and the place itself. Stories echoed from within the walls.
One of the memories that touched me the most is a simple one of the staff coming up the front stairs and yelling out ‘van ride’!!! and the kids getting in for a ride around town and eventually a ride home. These young people were to become my mentors and friends giving voice to what I was sensing was held hallowed in the walls. Stories of challenge and strength, loss and possibility.
When a teaching position came available at Eagles’ Circle school, I was thrilled to now be a part of the teaching team at this junior high school on site. My time here was beyond special. The relationships and bonds deepened and broadened. While I was there to teach, I was taught.
The many years at Rossbrook House shaped me and opened me. No matter what life holds or where it takes me, my heart is always filled with the faces and stories of insight and strength of the kids, the presence of the extended community of support and all that is woven in the heart of this place.
-Maria Vigna, former teacher/Executive Co-Director
