Spring is in the air and animals are out and about. Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department (SWNPHD) reminds everyone to use caution around wild animals or animals you do not know.

The Cambridge Area Chamber of Commerce presented a check for $16,800 to the Cambridge Park Project for the purpose of helping fund the new playground equipment. The funds were proceeds collected from the silent auction and other activities at the Chamber’s Banquet last month.

The Cambridge TeamMates chapter is proud to be able to provide a book vending machine to Cambridge Public Schools to help encourage a love of reading in our elementary students. The machine was provided by a grant through the Nebraska Department of Education and uses tokens to distribute the books. Tokens can be earned by students for positive behavior, being Students of the Week, and other opportunities throughout the school year. The local Cambridge TeamMates chapter is assuming the responsibility for maintaining the vending machine and keeping it stocked with wonderful books for students to receive and own.

Good Luck Cambridge Athletes!
