Ballard Flash Food Drive a Success

The Ballard Bulldogs  "Flash" Food Drive was a huge success! Thanks to the generous people of this community we are going to be able to feed 4 families for Christmas Break! The Angel Tree is also receiving donations daily. 

Out of the 56 stars that were originally placed on the tree, we only have 20 left. If you are interested in a star, stop by the school between 7:45 and 3:30 or contact Mrs. Bridges for a list of what is left. 

All gifts for the tree need to be wrapped or placed in a gift bag and turned in to Mrs. Bridges on or before December 16th. Thank you again for helping to make this season bright!

From the Harrisonville Police Department

With the weather now consistently cold, we feel it's a good time to remind everyone to not leave your vehicle unlocked and running in the morning to warm up. 

Thieves love a nice toasty car just like the rest of us, and reports of vehicles being stolen increase during cold weather.

It's your vehicle, don't make it easy for others to steal!
