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.

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.

The past year four communities within our area participated in the NDSU Center for Vitality “HORIZONS” program. The communities involved include Maddock, harvey Anamoose and bowden. This required community surveying, study circles, and leadership training. The three communities that are connected by Highway 52 recognized the opportunity to bridge our communities. Since the blogging training representatives from harvey Anamoose, and bowden have met and plan to met in febuary to move forward with strengthening our communities together. If there is an interest to get involved please call Kim Moen at the harvey City hall @ 324-2000.

Wow! Sending teenagers out to collect food pays big dividends for the Central Dakota Food Pantry. Students from FFA and FBLA clubs ’scavenged’ 1100+ pounds of food on Halloween night, and dropped off many bags of food for the Harvey Lion’s club members to sort and put away on the food pantry shelves. Students were treated to pizza donated by the Pizza Ranch; always a big hit for teenagers.
