Higgins Students Help Plant Pinwheel Garden

Cheryl Vanderburg’s first grade class at Higgins Elementary helped plant pinwheels on the front lawn of the Children’s Advocacy Center Friday morning as a reminder of National Child Abuse Prevention Month.  In 2018, the CAC served 253 children in Lamar County.  Representing the cases served were 180 red pinwheels for sexual abuse, 38 blue for physical abuse, 26 orange for child witness, 5 green for drug-endangered children and 3 purple for neglect.
