Harvey, ND

On Tuesday the 22, 2008, the Harvey High School 7th Period FACS class went to the Head-Start daycare. They went there because they were studying about childhood and Mrs. Kathy Walsh thought it would be a good idea. Most of the students were the youngest child in there family and has never really spent time with younger kids. The class played games with them. The games helped them learn the alphabet and colors. They would also help the daycare children with puzzles and read them stories.

The Harvey CYO (Catholic Youth Organization) is making subs for Super Bowl Sunday as a fundraiser to help their church and the organization itself. Advertisements are all around town and order forms can be picked up at Tom’s Home Furnishings and Double E Designs. The subs will be made on Sunday, February 3, in the basement kitchen of St. Cecelia’s Catholic Church. Buyers may pick their subs up from 3 to 4 o’clock or the subs will be delivered from 3 to 5 o’clock.

Students at the Harvey High School taking Mr. Sitz’s computer classes will be getting active in blogs. The students will be adding new blogs and commenting on new and already existing blogs. So look forward to seeing the new posts and reading the comments from the young adults shortly.

The mission of Wells Co. Mentoring is to strengthen our young people by providing them with caring, positive relationships.   Mentoring is simple.  It is caring, being yourself and spending consistent time (about an hour a week) with a young person.  It’s so simple that it is making a difference, one life at a time.  Mentors are not there to “fix” their youth or solve their problems, but to simply be a friend.  Become involved in one of the most effective prevention efforts and help today’s youth become tomorrow’s leaders - Be a mentor!

The St. Aloisius Community Volunteer Program is designed to reach out to others and make a positive difference in our community.  Volunteers assist in a variety of areas, such as providing transportation to and from medical appointments, assisting with light household and daily living tasks, meal preparation and providing social opportunities.  These services allow many people to continue independent living in their own homes, rather than going to a long term care facility.  Each month, one volunteer is selected to be recognized as the volunteer of the month.
