The Wish Tree is Up! If you would like to make a wish come true this Christmas, stop by the Cambridge school to pick up a star any time the main office is open or during any event! Please be sure to note the number of star you are taking on the list under the tree! If you haven’t turned in your application, there is still time and plenty of room on the tree!

The Maywood Future Business Leaders of America recently hosted a soup luncheon and silent auction to support the Frontier County Ambulance Fund. The goal of this fundraiser is to help purchase a power load system for the ambulance stretcher — essential equipment that allows EMTs to transport patients more safely and efficiently while reducing physical strain on volunteers. If you were unable to attend but would still like to contribute, donations can be sent to the Frontier County Ambulance Fund. Your support helps ensure our community’s emergency responders have the tools they need to continue providing exceptional care. Shown in the picture are Sawyer Dibbern, Blayklee Farr, First Responder Michael Fisher, Dallas Grunden, and Raelene Lanning.
