Driving past Graham High School on US Hwy 36, you may have noticed significant progress being made on the Baughman Family Agricultural & Athletic Grounds in the lot adjacent to GHS to the east. Construction began in mid-August, with McGuire Farm & Excavating & Tom Moore Excavating clearing the site for this highly anticipated project. Thanks to the generous support of the Baughman Family and other community donors, the land and funds for the project were fully donated. Over the past three weeks, substantial work has been completed. The demolition of a former home on the site is finished, and the debris has been cleared. Over 5 acres of land has been graded, and the foundation for a new parking lot is being laid, with final touches expected soon. The school will proudly recognize its donors by displaying their logos at the construction site. To stay updated on the project's progress, follow Graham Local Schools on Facebook.

The Second Harvest Food Bank of Clark, Champaign & Logan counties had this to say about the support from US Foods and Feeding America: “We could not be more excited about the opportunity to stand-up a hunger-relief locker program this year with the support of Feeding America and US Foods. Thanks to US Foods’ generous donation to Feeding America, the Direct to Neighbor locker project will enable our community members to conveniently access hunger-relief support in a manner that removes many of the emotional hurdles sometimes associated with food insecurity support. We are honored to bring such an innovative solution to our local neighbors.” ### Event to Raise Money for Breast Cancer Awareness  Mercy Health – Springfield will host its third annual Pink Honor Walk later this month in support of breast cancer awareness.
