Above: Children’s Service staff at the Cottonwood office in Moreno Valley celebrate Cinco De Mayo with a decorated breakroom on May 5. The holiday celebrates Mexican heritage and commemorates the Mexican Army’s victory over the French Empire. At DPSS, it’s a day where we recognize staff, community partners, neighbors, family and friends of Mexican descent and the many contributions they make to create a rich local culture and community. Left: Ahead of Mother’s Day, our desert region staff went all out Thursday, May 6, at our offices in Indio to surprise and celebrate moms who work for the department. Along with being greeted by a Mother’s Day sign, moms were gifted a red rose and treated to coffee, donuts, and fresh fruit.
