Hermann, Mo. - Hermann Families-in-Action is once again starting its fund-raising campaign to sponsor the After Prom Breakfast and Project Graduation.

These have been very successful events, thanks to the strong community support. These two events were started nearly 20 years ago and have continued to be well attended.

Hermann High School's prom will be held April 5th. The breakfast will be held at the St. George gymnasium immediately following the prom. The After Prom Breakfast ends at 1:30 am.

New Haven, Mo. - To often all we read about or see on TV is all the bad things happening around us when actually there are a million times more good being done, especially the young people of our community.

One example I witnessed this afternoon was a group of about 20 kids from Trinity Lutheran Church spend time singing Christmas carols to residents at the New Haven Care Center, which they have been doing every Wednesday during the Christmas Holiday.

Christmas is quickly approaching and that means Santa will be at the Walt Theatre on Saturday, December 14, 2013.

The doors open at 12:30 p.m. for the cartoon film showing at 1:00 p.m.

After the film, Santa will stop in for a visit to greet each child and hand out a gift bag of goodies.

Pictured are some of the NHS members who helped plant trees on Wednesday.  Several students had basketball practice, but then came straight from practice to help.

New Haven, Mo. - Wednesday 19 members of New Haven High School’s National Honor Society (NHS) spent the morning planting over 300 trees in New Haven’s City Park as part of a project Park Manager Kirby Menke began over a year ago.

Over the past two years Menke and the New Haven Park Board have been diligently working on forest restoration throughout the park as well as taking the land behind Bock Field, which was donated by Blitz and Violet McDonald and “working to bring back what the area’s natural habitat once was by planting “hardwood” trees,” Menke added.
