Churchill Area Neighbors

Please Slow Down!

Are you wishing people would just slow down in the neighborhood? C.A.N. has created some yard signs just for you!

Yard signs are 12"x18" and come with a metal h-frame stake. One free sign per CAN household until we run out. For the most effective results we recommend putting the sign out for a few days at a time so it is more noticeable and less 'clutter'.

What’s going on in the Neighborhood?

Activities and announcements are listed in order of the calendar.

Ruby Bridges Walk-to-School Day

Our community is coming together to celebrate Ruby Bridges Walk-to-School Day on Friday, November 14th! This special day honors Ruby Bridges, who bravely helped desegregate schools in 1960, paving the way for equality in education.

Students will meet up and walk to school together to celebrate her courage and the ongoing importance of kindness, inclusion, and standing up for what’s right.

If you see groups of students walking that morning, please wave, smile, or cheer them on! Your encouragement helps inspire our young citizens to carry forward the spirit of community, courage, and compassion that Ruby showed so many years ago.
