BON HOMME COUNTY CHILD PROTECTION TEAM 2022-23 ACTIVITIES

By
Tanya Krueger
The Bon Homme County Child Protection (CP) Team has been meeting throughout the school year to identify needs of families in the county and to find ways to provide for those needs. The CP team is comprised of representatives from each school district (administrators, school counselors, and school psychologists), Lewis and Clark Behavioral Health therapists, county law enforcement, and area social service agencies. We collaborate on ways to raise funds as needs arise in Bon Homme County, including the communities of Avon, Scotland, Springfield, Tabor, and Tyndall. Some of the projects this year included purchasing gloves for each school district, organizing donations and providing holiday meals for families in each community, and purchasing family pool passes for a family in each community. The City Council or pool manager from each community pool was consulted and worked together with the CP team to make that happen. The CP team has also confidentially assisted families in getting connected with social service resources, family therapy, and individual counseling when needed. Glasses were provided for a student in need, and work was done to improve attendance for families in need of transportation. Funds were provided to a family in need of groceries around the holiday season. The CP team plans to provide school supplies to families in need in the fall. The students and families in Bon Homme County benefit directly from the CP team’s fundraising efforts and organization of donations from generous businesses and individuals. To access resources, please reach out to the CP team chairperson, Molly Huber (605-661-7342), or any CP team member. Officers of the CP team include Molly Huber, Chair; Saddi Wynia, Co-Chair/ Fundraising; Tanya Krueger, Secretary; and Paige Stewart, Treasurer. Businesses, organizations, and individuals are also welcome to donate to the CP team’s mission of caring for the students and families of Bon Homme County by providing supplies, gift cards, or financial contributions. Thank you for your support of the Bon Homme County Child Protection Team!
