It was only a matter of time before our school was affected by COVID. We have had a staff member test positive today. This affects both the elementary school and the Jr/High Schools. The students and staff members who are to quarantine have been personally contacted. The exposure and test results have also been reported to the Kiowa County and Prowers County Health Departments as per protocol.
Quilts of Valor presented to local veterans
Quilters from the immediate area got together in early October 2020 to make plans to see how many quilts could be made to be awarded to veterans at the November 11, 2020, American Legion Post #125 Veterans dinner.
Individuals worked franticly to get 10 quilts done. Sadly, because of the COVID-19 coronavirus, the dinner was cancelled at the last minute.

Letter to the Editor – Veterans’ dinner cancelled this year
As Commander of American Legion Post #125, I have had to make the difficult decision to cancel this year's Veterans' dinner scheduled for November 11, 2020. This is just one more event having to go by the wayside as a means of protecting our members and beyond from possible exposure to COVID-19.
