It’s graduation season, so we thought we’d share this very fancy graduation program from one of our children who graduated in 1959. Even then, Porter-Leath celebrated educational milestones and accomplishments!

May we always remember those who sacrificed and fought for us. Porter-Leath offices and classrooms are closed today, but will open bright and early on Tuesday morning.

Sometimes, we’re still surprised by the items we find in Porter-Leath's historical documents. Take a look at what we found inside this birthday card that was sent to a child in our care in the ‘50s. What a sweet little gift!

Take a moment to listen to Meanwhile in Memphis a podcast from New Memphis & hear from Porter-Leath's Books from Birth. Wynett Jones discusses more about Books from Birth and how it is part of the whole menu of services provided by our agency. youtu.be/bx9fycoDa8A?si…

We had a blast on Tuesday at this year's DisruptHR Memphis event & heard speakers from across our county. Not surprisingly, our favorite speaker was Sean Lee, Porter-Leath President. He shared why "Babies are your Business" & why HR should invest in the future & current workforce.
