Each year, Stronghold hosts a Baby Shower to celebrate and support growing military families. We know that welcoming a new baby, while beautiful, can also bring unexpected financial strain. For military families navigating transitions, permanent change of station moves, separation from support systems, or seasonal uncertainty, the added pressures can quickly add up and bring added stress. This special event provides essential baby items such as diapers, wipes, bottles, monitors, and more — but just as importantly, it creates space for connection, encouragement, and community.
Because no growing family should ever feel alone.
If you’re a military family, register today: https://www.strongholdfoodpantry.org/springbabyshower
We can’t wait to celebrate and support our Stronghold families on April 26th. Thank you to partners who make these events so special for our military families!

You are invited to join us at a 3-part series with USD 453. Dr. Kellen Adams will conduct community orientation briefings at the USD office.
Purpose of the Forum Series
The series goal is to foster “clear, fact-based information” and build “shared understanding, not just deliver information.” Participants will hear directly from district leadership and can engage in conversation about the challenges and opportunities ahead. The focus of each is the following:
Forum 1 — Understanding the Landscape
Where We Stand: The Realities Shaping USD 453’s Budget Forum 2 — Exploring Options and Tradeoffs
Responsible Choices: Aligning Resources with Student Needs Forum 3 — The Plan and the Path Ahead
Forging the Future: Decisions, Commitments, and Community Partnership
Why This Conversation Matters
The district emphasizes that “strong schools are a cornerstone of economic development and workforce preparation. This is part of workforce development, so business leaders should participate.” As Leavenworth’s education, business, and civic sectors continue to align around long-term community prosperity, these forums offer a space to understand how school decisions affect the broader region. The district notes, “the conversation is not only about challenges—it is about identifying pathways forward.”
Community Participation
USD 453 encourages broad participation, noting that “residents, business leaders, parents, and stakeholders are encouraged to attend and help shape the future of education in our community.”
For more information, please get in touch with USD 453 at (913) 684-1550 or the Chamber of Commerce at (913) 682-4112.

Major international sporting events, like the upcoming World Cup in Kansas City, bring thousands of visitors which increases a business’s revenue as well as risk. From crowd surges and alcohol fueled incidents like theft and assaults, a business can suffer monetary loss, heavy liabilities, reputational damage, and potential closure. Unlike stadiums, most businesses lack dedicated safety and security teams or resources and are open all day.
THIS FREE 2-HOUR EVENT WILL:
Identify real-world threats from global sporting events
Recognize vulnerabilities in your business operations
Implement practical prevention strategies
Manage and de-escalate incidents in real time
Conduct rapid on-site risk assessments tailored to your specific location and crowd profile
Reduce liability and protect your staff and customers
Recover quickly and protect your brand after an incident
Hear from industry expert Bret E. Brooks, COO of the Missouri-based international training and consulting firm Gray Ram Tactical, LLC at this upcoming special event. Since 2007, his firm has assisted businesses of all sizes in all industries keep their staff, customers, and facilities safe and secure. This is a must attend event for businesses. more info...

We know that welcoming a new baby, while beautiful, can also bring unexpected financial strain.
For military families navigating transitions, permanent change of station moves, separation from support systems, or seasonal uncertainty, the added pressures can quickly add up and bring added stress.
This special event provides essential baby items such as diapers, wipes, bottles, monitors, and more — but just as importantly, it creates space for connection, encouragement, and community.
Thank you to partners who make these events so special for our military families!
