To help families and community members get a fresh start on the new school year, Lamont County and District FCSS held their annual community awareness evenings in both Lamont and Mundare this week.

The events, though usually held in the schools on their respective “meet the teachers” nights in order to strike two birds with one stone, saw a small change in scheduling this year which resulted with the Mundare event being held at the Mundare Senior Centre.

“It was really nice of them to accommodate us,” said Darlene Onushko, “and the venue worked out for us even if it was slightly different than what we’ve used before.”

The approximately 25 people from the Mundare area who attended the event were greeted by community organizations and groups from throughout the local area, including the Mundare Fire Department, Veg-Al Drug, WJS, Mundare Communities in Bloom, the Mundare Library, FCSS, and more. Each organization was given the opportunity to set up a display in order to help educate the public on what is available to them.

“It’s a good opportunity for people to see what they have available to them,” said Onushko, “especially at a time of year where people are planning activities and looking for resources for the next few months.
