LET’S MAKE IT HAPPEN

MONTEZUMA COUNTY SUPPORTS EACH OTHER

 

A team of high school students (Child Abuse Prevention Society (C.A.P.S.)) volunteered to paint a mural to raise awareness about child abuse in Montezuma County and to encourage residents to report their suspicions if they believe a child is suffering from maltreatment. Sponsored by The Michalak Farmers Insurance Agency – Durango and Region 9 Economic Development District of Southwest Colorado

If you haven’t had a chance to drive by the mural (on North Market St.), check out the images below.

It is beautiful, and such an great addition to our community.
