Linton, ND

A grant through the Prevent Child Abuse of North Dakota. The month of
April was Prevent Child Abuse. We were given money for a speaker, which we
had Connie Sheehan for a section out of the Bright Beginnings: Brain
Development Infant through 5 years (I believe). Most daycare providers
attended this training. One daycare provider from McIntosh County also
attended. Pinwheels were given out to all daycares in Emmons County,
representing a postive effects of preventing child abuse. Our take on the
daycares was the children in daycare are being well taken care of and
daycare providers are mandated reports, so if they suspect child abuse,
they are to report it. We also put pinwheels at the court house, public
health, and Wic. Vehicle magnets were given to law enforcement, social
worker, daycares, and then given out in the bags for the children at the
Kids Fun Fair. The magnets say Prevent Child Abuse. Kindergarten through
second grade was given a pinwheel template with some child abuse facts on
the back to take home and make their own pinwheels. A booth at the Kids
Fun Fair was set up to make the pinwheels and information given to parents
in the bags for the children. There was a bill board along Hwy 83, south
of Linton with the Prevent Child Abuse logo on it.
