We've got some real Kindness Heroes in our midst!
Camp Pec would like to say Thank you Niki Smith, of Cesa 3, for presenting this library program on kindness and spotting bullying. Thank you Roy Ruegsegger, who secured funding for this program through Thrivent Mutual and to Sarah from the Blanchardville library! We appreciate everything you do for our kiddos!!









✅ Successful School Safety Training Exercise
We’re proud to have hosted a vital active shooter and hostage scenario training today, in partnership with Green and Lafayette County Sheriff’s Departments.
Officers, dispatchers, negotiators, and even a few civilians came together to simulate a high-stakes emergency situation — all with one goal: keeping our schools safe.
Thank you to everyone involved for your professionalism, dedication, and teamwork. These exercises help ensure we’re prepared, coordinated, and ready to respond — no matter what.
