Outreach to Ashippun

This year, PAVE wanted to reach out to some of the smaller communities in Dodge County to make certain people there knew our services were available to them as well. Here I am, painting faces at the Ashippun Fireman's Picnic, while my daughter Liberty hands out stuffed animals with PAVE's information on them to the kids. I'd like to thank Sara Schlieve for offering the space in the family booth! Hope to see you again next year!

Heidi Stark, PAVE's Case Manager and Jen Kunath, PAVE's Children's Advocate are show grilling up brats at Leroy Meats in Horicon to help raise funds for the Children's Radiothon. WBEV/WXRO raises money every year for local charities that support children. Thanks!

SKDS Donates Reading Bags

We had a lovely surprise last week when a few St. Katherine Drexel students stopped by with reading bags they created. The bags not only contained books, but also had fun activities for children to do in conjunction with the books to further develop their connections to the text.

Pictured with me from left to right are teacher Ruth Kaiser and students Livi Clark, Sami Schmitt, Madison Jewell and Madeline McGauley. Thank you ladies for an awesome idea and a great donation!

A big thanks to Jen Kunath, PAVE's Children's Advocate (left) and Ashely Welak, PAVE's Legal Advcoate (right - appearing as Felix the Frog) for reaching out to the Horicon community at Rockn' River Jam. We hope that our information got out to those that needed it. If you are a victim of violence or know someone who is, please consider accessing resources in your community for help.
