Operation Christmas Child is a 4-H success

My name is Virgil Tholt and I’m the reporter for the Shamrock 4-H Club in Winnett.

Recently, we did an item drive for “Operation Christmas Child.” We did a Cats vs. Griz competition, to raise interest in the item drive.

First, we put posters up around town. Second, we put two boxes in front of the school office with pictures of a Cat and Griz logo on it.

How to be thankful

Community Wellness

Recent research has suggested that being thankful can improve our overall wellbeing.

Last weekend I celebrated my 60th birthday. During the year leading up to that big day, I made daily journal entries of moments and events I was thankful for. That daily practice proved to be beneficial by setting the tone for the day. The daily practice also encouraged me to be aware of moments and happenings throughout the day that made me thankful. As Thanksgiving approaches, I have been even more mindful of the moments and events that I am thankful for.
