💊 National Drug Take Back Day is here!
It’s a simple step that makes a big difference: safely dispose of unused or expired medications and help prevent misuse, protect our communities, and keep our water supply clean.
Take a few minutes today to check your medicine cabinet—you might be holding onto prescriptions you no longer need. Drop them off at a designated collection site near you and be part of the solution.
🗓️ Because safe homes start with safe choices.

April is Child Abuse Awareness Month, and our Head Start children are learning the importance of kindness, safety, and speaking up 💙

On April 13th, our little learners planted blue pinwheels as part of a special activity to raise awareness and show support for children everywhere. The pinwheel represents the happy, healthy childhood that every child deserves 🌱💫

A special thank you to Cassell Galligan-Davis with Children's Advocacy Center for the 31st Judicial District - CAC and City of Spencer Police Department Scott Garing for assisting our children in planting these pinwheels and helping make this meaningful experience possible 💙

Through hands-on activities like this, we are helping children understand big feelings, build trust, and grow in a safe, nurturing environment.

Together, we can make a difference—one child, one family, and one community at a time 💙
