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. So far this year the team has purchased clothing like extra pants, socks, etc. for elementary schools in Avon, Scotland, Springfield, and Tyndall. We have been able to provide winter weather gear for several families as well. Thanks to the generosity of community members, Christmas trees and decorations were collected and donated to a number of local families to decorate their homes. The team also collected financial donations from community members and will be providing holiday meals for several families in our county. The CP team would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all who have contributed to these causes. It is with your support that we are able to provide a little extra to families this time of year. 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 (new) clothing, supplies, gift cards, or financial contributions. Thank you for your support of the Bon Homme County Child Protection Team!
