Lights on Proclamation Day

City of Fallon Mayor Ken Tedford proclaimed October 24, 2024, as Lights on Afterschool Day. This national celebration of afterschool programs promotes the importance of quality afterschool programs in the lives of children, families, and communities. Afterschool programs build stronger communities by bringing together families, schools, and community partners to ensure the well-being of our children. They also give working families peace of mind, knowing their school-aged children are safe and productive before and after the regular school day. The programs focus on developing skills and building resilience in our young people, giving them the tools to become responsible and engaging community members.
