It was a great day for our seniors at UNK Adulting workshop. Students were able to learn many life skills that included self-defense, buying a home, budgeting, doing laundry, mental health and what to expect their first year in college.
This is a reminder that if you're a parent, guardian, grandparent, friend, etc. of a 5th grade student, tonight is their music concert. It's at 7 pm and located in the auditorium at the HS! They've worked really hard preparing for this; we hope to see you there!

Valentine Children and Families Committee has created a survey for all residents of Cherry County. Our committee has received some grant money for our community to identify the services and supports that are available to children of all ages now and to help increase the quality and quantity of their availability. Please help us by taking a few minutes to fill out the survey. After filling out the survey, you will be entered in a drawing to win a (1 of 20) $50 gift certificate. You can find the link here or at KVSH.com.
