PINWHEELS ON DISPLAY TO MAKE A POINT
Detective Cheri Ells with the Wheat Ridge Police Department holds up some of the pinwheels that the department has put on display to help raise awareness about Child Abuse Prevention Month. Wheat Ridge City Hall, and other area agencies will be supporting Ralston House by planting pinwheel gardens this month. The 2018 fundraising goal for the Ralston House Pinwheel project is $60,000 and the $5 sales of individual pinwheels go to support the services Ralston House provides children, youth and adult survivors of child abuse and their families. Anyone can participate by making a $5 donation to receive a pinwheel, or go online to www.ralstonhouse.net/ child-abuse-prevention-month. The community can also use the hashtag #PassthePinwheel and change their profile pictures to one taken with a pinwheel this month to help raise awareness and funds.

THE BOTTOM LINE PERIODICAL
‘We are looking at two enormous funding challenges — a 30-year statewide crisis and a 15-year Jeffco crisis. I’m a little intimidated by that.’ Jefferson County School District Board member Amanda Stevens | P2 INSIDE
