In hopes of a big crowd that day, it is appropriate that our young people are taught the honor that surrounds Veterans Day. This is a valuable lesson for our children to understand the virtues and sacrifice that has been given to obtain our freedoms in our country. Organizers hope as many active duty and retired armed forces personnel will attend as possible.

Dexter, Missouri - Mock Elections were held at the T. S. Hill Middle School this morning. Students from the 6th, 7th and 8th grade classes were all given the opportunity to participate during their Social Studies class time.
Students were required to show their own identification via sample voter registration cards and were given a ballot to participate in the mock election process. Complete with voters booth and all, students were given an opportunity to better understand the election process and were encouraged to get involved.
This projected was organized by the classrooms of Mrs. Sweeney, Mrs. Foster, and Mrs. Thurmon. During "Election Day," these teachers were assisted by some parent volunteers to actually give the look and feel of a real live voting experience.
"This is a great lesson for the kids and the school is very excited to be able to participate in the voting process," noted Scott Kruse of T. S. Hill Middle School. "It's pretty neat for them to be exposed to this important civic duty."
Remember, tomorrow is the day for each citizen to exercise their right to vote. Be sure to make it a priority on your daily list.

Yesterday in honor of Halloween, many members of the staff at Central Gardens Residential Care dressed up in many different costumes and enjoyed spending Halloween at work.
Not only did just the staff get involved, however; many of the residents wanted to participate as well. Throughout the halls of Central Gardens yesterday you might have seen some residents with Halloween-related face paint on their face, which was painted by one of the staff members.
Every month at Central Gardens a birthday party is held on one afternoon to help celebrate all the residents who have birthdays in that month. It just so happens that yesterday’s Birthday Party has been conjoined into a Halloween Celebration as well.
Staff members took part in decorating the dining room with Halloween items so the residents could enjoy cake in the Halloween atmosphere.
This was a fun time for all: staff and residents. There were lots of laughs shared between staff members and residents commenting on some of the costumes that were worn.
Pictured above are a few staff members posing in their costumes.
This was a fun time for everyone included in Central Gardens! The residents loved seeing their everyday staff members dressed up as a little something different.
