School, Sewing and Something New in Saguache Today

The program is open to preschool (potty trained and able to stay away from parents for three hours) through Junior High students. The school will be held the week of June 19 – 23, starting at 5 p.m.
It’s a great summer program for the kids and includes studying some exciting stories from the Bible as well as food, activities, story-telling, games, songs and lots of fun!

New Equipment At Community Building
There is a new microwave and a new conviction toaster oven in the Community Building kitchen! After last year’s Community Thanksgiving meal there was a small amount of money left from the Colorado Trust.
Next November’s Thanksgiving Community Meal in Saguache will have some added help in the kitchen with the town’s recent purchase of a new microwave and convection oven. Photo: Saguache Today/Kathy Bedell.
Those monies combined with some funds raised from selling some pies brought the total to $300, which after some smart shopping, allowed the town to purchases both pieces of equipment.
Special thanks to The Colorado Trust which continues to support community programs like these.
