Week 3 of our summer slide prevention series! Writing is one of the skills most affected by the summer slide and one of the easiest to practice. Journals, letters, cards for nursing home residents… it all counts, and it all keeps those skills strong for fall.

Yesterday, we stopped by West Holmes Knights Stadium during Youth Camp for a quick photo with our bedazzled Duck trophy!

Next Friday, Knights football players will be at the Derby helping our ducks make a splash on their way to victory 🏆🦆💦

It means a lot to see young people across Wayne and Holmes Counties showing up, giving their time, and being part of something bigger than themselves. ❤️

In Holmes & Wayne County, 1 in 3 households is ALICE = Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed.

They work at the grocery store, care for your parents, build your homes. They earn above the poverty line but below what it actually costs to live here.

🛒 A gallon of milk. A car repair. One sick day.
For ALICE households, these aren't inconveniences. They're crises.
