Thirty cars. Five years. One powerful partnership. 🚗🎉

This month, a Milestone young adult drove away in the 30th car made possible through our partnership with Markosian Auto. Behind every one of those keys is a young person who worked hard, saved, and took a big step toward independence.

Thank you, Nick Markosian and the entire Markosian Auto team, for believing in our young adults and helping them get where they are going. Reliable transportation opens doors to jobs, school, and opportunity, and you have opened thirty of them.

Here’s to the road ahead! 💛

Our afterschool program at Dos Mundos Academy welcomed families for a Family Monster Math Night this week! Families put their estimation skills to the test by guessing the weight of three pumpkins, then teamed up to solve math riddles and play monster math bingo. To keep the fun going at home, each family left with a math scavenger hunt to complete together.

Halloween is almost here! Have a fun and safe Halloween.
Cross the street at corners, using traffic signals and crosswalks.
Look left, right and left again when crossing and keep looking as you cross.
Put electronic devices down, keep heads up and walk, don’t run, across the street.
Teach children to make eye contact with drivers before crossing in front of them.
Always walk on sidewalks or paths. If there are no sidewalks, walk facing traffic as far to
the left as possible.
Children should walk on direct routes with the fewest street crossings.
Watch for cars that are turning or backing up. Teach children to never dart out into the street or cross between parked cars.
Join kids under age 12 for trick-or-treating. If kids are mature enough to be out without supervision, tell them to stick to familiar areas that are well-lit and trick-or-treat in groups.

¡Halloween ya casi está aquí! Que tengan un Halloween divertido y seguro.
Crucen la calle en las esquinas, usando las señales de tráfico y los pasos de peatones.
Miren a la izquierda, a la derecha y otra vez a la izquierda al cruzar, y sigan mirando mientras cruzan.
Dejen a un lado los dispositivos electrónicos, mantengan la cabeza en alto y caminen, no corran, al cruzar la calle. Enseñen a los niños a hacer contacto visual con los conductores antes de cruzar delante de ellos.
Caminen siempre por las aceras o senderos. Si no hay aceras, caminen de frente al tráfico lo más a la izquierda posible.
Los niños deben caminar por rutas directas con el menor número de cruces de calle posible.
Estén atentos a los autos que estén girando o dando marcha atrás.
Enseñen a los niños a nunca salir corriendo repentinamente a la calle ni a cruzar entre autos estacionados. Acompañen a los niños menores de 12 años a pedir dulces. Si los niños son lo suficientemente maduros como para salir sin supervisión, díganles que se mantengan en zonas conocidas que estén bien iluminadas y que pidan dulces en grupo.

Talk Early. Talk Often.
Talking with your kids about alcohol, ni****ne, va**ng, ma*****na, and other substances doesn’t have to be one big, serious conversation.
Start early. Keep it simple. Keep talking.

Ask what they think.
Listen without judgment.
Let them know you care about their choices and their future.
Talk about healthy ways to handle stress and peer pressure.
Set clear family expectations about substance use.
The goal isn’t to have one perfect conversation—it’s to build a relationship where your child feels comfortable coming to you with questions, concerns, and tough situations.

When you talk early and talk often, you help give your child the skills and confidence to make healthy choices.



Habla pronto. Habla a menudo.

Hablar con tus hijos sobre el alcohol, la nicotina, el vapeo, la ma*****na y otras sustancias no tiene por qué ser una única conversación larga y seria.
Empieza pronto. Mantén la sencillez. Sigue hablando.
Pregunta qué piensan.
Escucha sin juzgar.

Hazles saber que te importan sus decisiones y su futuro.
Hablen sobre formas saludables de manejar el estrés y la presión de los compañeros.

Establezca expectativas familiares claras sobre el consumo de sustancias.
El objetivo no es tener una conversaciĂłn perfecta, sino construir una relaciĂłn en la que tu hijo se sienta cĂłmodo acudiendo a ti con preguntas, inquietudes y situaciones difĂ­ciles.

Al hablar con frecuencia y desde una edad temprana, ayudas a que tu hijo adquiera las habilidades y la confianza necesarias para tomar decisiones saludables.
