April is Child Abuse Awareness Month. One of many activities being held to commemorate the month was a coloring contest in which children drew “Fun things to do with my family.”  

Children in the Lake County Office of Education ASES After School Program drew colorful pictures for the contest.

The two winners of the contest will have their artwork displayed on place mats at the Lakeport Taco Bell throughout the month of April.

We wish to thank Lakeport Taco Bell and manager Michelle Scott for their support of this activity.

They generously donated prizes to the winners, and also hosted the award ceremony for the two children who drew the winning artwork that is featured on the place mats.  

Taco Bell is just one of many business and organizations who have come together to draw attention to the issues of child abuse, and the need for healthy activities for our families and children.  

We are proud to live and work in a community that supports its families.
