Two weeks left to sign up! Call, message via Facebook, or send an email to sign up. A $25 donation is requested to cover the cost of the CPR/First Aid, but can be waived based on financial need. If your child attends another school district other than Hoxie and wants to participate, contact us and we can arrange another day to cover the topics covered on Friday (primarily CPR). Saturday is the bulk of the direct babysitting topics.

I was gobsmacked when I heard this... Did you know the U.S accounts for just 4% of the world's population... but consumes 80% of the world's entire opioid supply?

Let's sit with these facts for a minute... because that really tells the whole story, and explains why 1 in 4 children have caregivers with a substance use disorder.

It’s never too early OR too late to intervene in the life of a drug-endangered child. Call us at 785-675-2101 to learn about our efforts to support Drug Endangered Children efforts and what you can do.

Plan now to attend storm spotter training next Tuesday, February 24, in Selden at the Community Building at 10 N. Kansas Ave. The class will last from 6:30pm to 8pm central time.

Storm Spotters are one of the greatest resources for the National Weather Service during severe weather. Radar and satellite technology continues to improve; however, these instruments only tell part of the story. Our reports complete the picture that their weather instruments are showing. Without reports from storm spotters, the mission to protect lives and property would be hindered.

Presentation will include:

Radar analysis of hail, straight-line wind, and storms producing tornadoes
Weather highlights from the past year
New storm structure pictures and videos
Tornado or not?
Interesting features and pictures

In 2023, the rate of su***de for veterans was more than twice the su***de rate for non-veterans.

The class is planned for Friday and Saturday, March 6th and 7th as the Friday is no school for students.

Radon is the Number 1 cause of lung cancer death for non-smokers.

Anyone can get lung cancer from breathing in high levels of radon over time.

The primary concern associated with long-term exposure to elevated indoor radon levels is increased risk of developing lung cancer at some point in your life. Radon exposure in your home is the second overall cause of lung cancer death behind to***co smoking in the United States, and the leading cause of lung cancer death for non-smokers. The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) estimates that as many as 200 new cases of radon-related lung cancer occur each year in Kansas.
