A PROMISE

“...those who seek me (wisdom) will find me.” Proverbs 8:17

Child care organizations nationwide have joined together to declare Friday, May12, to be Provider Appreciation Day to recognize family child care providers and early education teachers in preschools/centers and after school programs. It gives parents, grandparents and employers an opportunity to recognize and commend the dedication to children that child care providers demonstrate every day.

Caroline Zarate Boyle, 59, of Highlands Ranch, Colorado, a U.S. Postal Service employee, pled guilty Friday to presenting a forged writing to the United States with the intent to defraud after telling her employer that she had cancer to work from home and claim hundreds of hours of sick leave.

The guilty plea occurred before U.S. District Court Judge Raymond P. Moore.

Boyle was first charged March 3, 2017. She was indicted by a federal grand jury in Denver two weeks later. She is scheduled to be sentenced by Judge Moore in July.
