​

Good morning, Fayette County. Mark your calendars for May 1st as our community unites for the National Day of Prayer, with services at the courthouse gazebo and a Community Prayer Walk kicking off April 26. This countywide moment of reflection brings together residents of all ages, from care facility residents to high school students organizing prayer at their flagpoles—a testament to our community's enduring spiritual connections.

The spirit of service runs equally strong in neighboring Greenfield, where McClain High School's annual "MHS Day" will transform the town on May 9. Every student and staff member will tackle projects from trash pickup to cemetery cleaning, while Highland County prepares for America's 250th anniversary with their newly funded celebration plans. Their "Highland County's Story Day" project will honor local history through everything from a Heritage Tree planting to living history concerts—preserving our region's rich traditions for generations to come.
