The January, 2021 edition of the PSP Jotter is here – the first PSP newsletter of 2021! 
 
We are happy to share some impressive outcomes from our annual MLK Day service project. All PSP staff and VISTA members participated by either tying fleece blankets for the Logan Regional NICU and Children’s Justice Center or by writing ‘thank you’ letters to the ‘unsung heroes’ of our two local hospitals. Plus, everyone participated in a ‘thank you’ video that was sent to front line workers in various places of work in Cache County. In all, we donated 60 blankets, 70 cards, and created one ‘thank you’ video. Watch the video below!!

PSP would also like to recognize the efforts of three PSP VISTAs who were nominated for and received VISTA Member Recognition Awards in January – 

• Heidi Prestwich (Common Ground) received the Outstanding Outcomes Award, 
• Daniel Bialkowski (USU Education Outreach) received the Good Role Model Award, and 
• Jasmine Harris (Logan Family Center) received the Above & Beyond Award.

​The December, 2020 edition of the PSP Jotter is here – the final PSP newsletter of 2020! This past year was truly a year of ups and downs for everyone.

We are happy to share some pretty amazing outcomes from our annual holiday service project. All PSP staff and VISTA members participated by either serving with Sub for Santa or making holiday cards for local senior citizens, and their efforts reached 627 community members here in Cache Valley! Incredible work! We hope our efforts brought as much joy to our fellow community members as they did to us. 

PSP would also like to recognize the efforts of two VISTAs who were nominated for and received VISTA Member Recognition Awards in the month of December – Leah Parr (Logan Family Center) received the Determination Award, and Adela Rahmati (Cache High School) received the Good Role Model Award.

The October, 2020 edition of the PSP Jotter is here with a day to spare! Most of this edition highlights the incredible work and legacy of long-time PSP Director, Rikki Wheatley-Boxx. Rikki recently applied for and was accepted into a PhD program at the University of Oregon, which means her 17 years with PSP have come to an end. We will miss her!

Finally, we are happy to announce that Coral Larson (Logan Family Center) has received the Determination Award for September, 2020, as part of PSP’s VISTA Member Recognition Program. Congrats, Coral!
