Hope cashed in her paw points to have hot chocolate with a staff member of her choice.

Each second grader at AGWSR Community School District received their own copy of "Just Like Caitlin," a book inspired by Iowa native Caitlin Clark. This book shares valuable life lessons, such as dreaming big, working hard, and prioritizing relationships over winning. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Jensen Foundation for their generous contribution of "Just Like Caitlin" books to all 2nd graders in the State of Iowa. This initiative not only promotes working hard and dreaming big, but also fosters a love for reading in our student's! 🏀 @JustLikeCaitlin #justlikecaitlin

This holiday season the Hardin County Holiday Helpers would like to invite you to our Toys for Tots Event. This county-wide event will be in the morning on Saturday, December 14th at Bethany Lutheran Church in Iowa Falls. There will be something for the whole family, including breakfast! Parents are invited to come pick out toys for their children at the Toys for Tots event at Bethany Lutheran Church in Iowa Falls. The event will offer both new, unwrapped toys and gently used toys. To best serve your family's needs, there may be a limit of gifts per child depending on donations received. There will also be free gift wrapping. Though this may not meet all your Christmas needs, we hope that it will help! The Hardin County Holiday Helpers event serves the community in many ways. It allows parents to pick out gifts for their own children this holiday season, and do so without creating greater financial strain. It also allows those in the community, who are able, to provide donations to benefit local families by either donating new or gently used toys at boxes throughout the community, or monetary donations. Parents who wish to attend the Toys for Tots event must have a ticket to enter on December 14th. You will receive a ticket via email after you R.S.V.P. via Google Form (https://forms.gle/q4tBB8Wf9q2nPAma6). Once you R.S.V.P. you will receive an electronic confirmation and a ticket in your email the week of December 4th, this ticket will include your assigned arrival time. Also, in the morning on December 14th there will be a Kids Christmas Zone. This will also be located at the Bethany Lutheran Church. While parents are shopping for gifts, children of all ages are invited to participate in fun activities that teach about the true meaning of Christmas. They will also have an opportunity to pick out and wrap a gift for their parents. Please R.S.V.P. for this event by Friday, November 29th. If you are unable to R.S.V.P. via the Google Form (https://forms.gle/q4tBB8Wf9q2nPAma6) please call Rocky to R.S.V.P. by phone at (641) 220-2315. This event is sponsored by the Iowa Falls Rotary, Bethany Lutheran Church, and Greenbelt Home Care/Hardin County Public Health. Thank You!
