A big thank you to our guest speakers today, Sarah Goodapple and Emma Baker from the Chaddock Puppet Troupe!

They shared how their incredible program uses puppet friends to help children safely explore grief, bullying, abuse, and other big feelings through connection, creativity, and play. We are so grateful for the meaningful conversation and the compassionate work they do to support kids and families. 💛🧸

Carthage Middle School Builders Club joined Kiwanis for a wonderful day of service in the community!

The morning was spent at WOW picking up trash, spreading mulch, painting, and raking. In the afternoon, the group headed to the Middle School to help clean up the yard and outdoor areas.
