The Town ‘N Kountry Kids Red Group 4-H Club partnered with Modern Woodmen of America (MWA) Woonsocket Chapter for their Christmas Caring project to recognize and thank some area volunteers. The second group chosen as their “Hometown Heroes” was the Sanborn County Volunteer Ambulance Service. On Thursday, Jan. 2, 4-H members attended the monthly meeting to express their gratitude and gave each of the 18 ambulance volunteers a gift card to the Muddy Cup with a note that included “Enjoy Something Hot or Cold, Because You Should Be Told, Thanks a Latte for All You Do!” The 4-H club and MWA also provided a meat and cheese tray along with some sweet treats.

The Town ‘N Kountry Kids Red Group 4-H Club helped to celebrate American Education Week in the area schools last week.  Club members wrote personal notes to teachers and staff, and also made up a gift of M&M’s with a card attached that had sayings like “Your Work is Motivating & Meaningful” and “You Are Marvelous & Magnificent” with points about patience, inspiration, sunshine and smiles, warmth and caring and hearts. Each teacher/staff member at Woonsocket School as well as some teachers at Sanborn Central and Wessington Springs received a note and gift. The club also provided a treat of brownies in the staff breakrooms at Woonsocket School.
