Child Abuse Prevention

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month, a month dedicated to helping raise awareness around child abuse and neglect. The blue pinwheel is the national symbol for Child Abuse Prevention.

During April, the pinwheels planted in our community symbolize the happy, healthy childhoods all children deserve.
