Prairie Prose

The outpouring of goodwill has been tremendous in our area the past week.  Three wild fires have been burning.  Over 400 firefighters from towns and counties near and far have responded to our call for help.  National Guard, County Road Crews, helicopters, and planes have all helped.  Many have lost outbuildings and pasture and crops, but very few, if any homes were lost.  Our school is about 10 miles from the Wellnitz Fire.   We had smoke for awhile but then the wind changed.  Some of our staff and students had to evacuate, but all are home again.
