Lights, Camera, Relay!

Boulder City residents gathered Friday night and walked the perimeter of the gym at the high school till dawn to raise funds for the American Cancer Society.

The annual Relay For Life has raised $26,400 so far, with donations expected to continue coming in until August. Lights, Camera, Relay! was the theme of this year’s event.

In addition to walking, the evening’s festivities included musical entertainment, games, food, a silent auction and more. Several of the laps were themed, such as those where participants walked in their pajamas, held a scavenger hunt, posted pictures and comments on various social mediums and passed a baton.

Highlights of the night were the opening survivors’ lap, featuring those who have battled or are battling cancer, and a luminaria ceremony during which specially decorated luminarias/bags are lit to pay tribute to those who have cancer or have died.

Traditionally held on the school’s outdoor track, the event was moved indoors because of high winds and possible rain.

Christmas dinner open to everyone

When I first became principal of Martha P. King Elementary School, parent involvement through our Parent Advisory Council, or PAC, was small but full of potential. We began with a single president, then grew to include two co-presidents. Today, that growth has flourished into a fully established nine-member executive committee. That evolution tells an important story about our school and the community that surrounds it.

What is a critical access hospital?

According to the Rural Health Information Hub, a Critical Access Hospital (CAH) is a designation given to eligible rural hospitals who meet certain criteria. This designation was created by Congress via the Balanced Budget Act of 1997 due to the closures of over 400 rural hospitals during the 1980s through the early 1990s. The CAH designation was designed to improve health care access to Americans living in rural areas as well as provided financial stability to the facilities that serve these communities.
