Countdown toGiving Hearts Day
I had no idea what to expect when we decided to dive in and be
part of Giving Hearts Day. This is a 24-hour fundraiser that’s
already in its 14th year. We are so thankful that new nonprofits
can join in whenev-er they are able.
We surpassed our matching fund’s goal of $10,000 and raised
$15,000 thanks to amazing com-munity groups and individuals who see
our school and what we are accomplishing. After months of planning
and working behind the scenes, the big day is just around the
corner – Giving Hearts Day is Thursday, February 11. On Giving
Hearts Day our goal is to double those matching funds, giving us a
grand total of $30,000. We will put all of these generous donations
to good work right away by purchas-ing 15 more iPads, making us a
1-to-1 technology school in grades K-8,
and purchasing an electronic sign for the corner of our
campus.
The amazing news I have to share since our last update is,
because our match and goal have gone higher than originally
planned, we will have the funds to create the first-ever STEAM
(science, technology, engineering, and math) Lab at St. Alphonsus
School! We have a dedi-cated space ready to turn into the lab for
all students to use. I didn’t think we would be here – and thanks
to a community that believes in our mis-sion, we are building
momentum and building a STEAM Lab!
Ten dollars or more will be matched by our generous match
donors. You can donate any time on Thursday, February 11 at
Giv-ingHeartsDay.org and search for St. Alphonsus School. Checks
are also welcome – they must be dated Feb-ruary 11, 2021, and be
in-hand on Thursday, February 11.
Giving Hearts Day has also asked that each participating
nonprofit in-clude a new and used goods list on their giving
profile. We have created a list of needs we could use for our
school in case people would rather
give items instead of financial gifts.Our current needs include:
8 1/2x 11 construction papermedium/large paint brushesblack
sharpies (normal size and
thin)acrylic paintpainting canvasesdisinfecting wipesmasking
tapeElmer’s glueCommand HooksWashable PaintItems can be dropped off
in the
main entryway of our school dur-ing school hours. We appreciate
your consideration!
We can’t wait to carry this mo-mentum all the way through Giving
Hearts Day and beyond. Our hearts are so full. We will keep you
up-dated on how our big day goes, and we have all of you to thank
for our progress already in thought, word, and deed. Blessings to
all of you!

Ditch the dip with help from Cavalier County Memorial Hospi-tal
and Cavalier County Health Dis-trict during Through With Chew Week
February 21-27 Smokeless tobacco users are encouraged to make the
Great American Spit Out on February 25 their designated quit date.
Setting a quit date greatly improves a tobacco user’s chance at
success.
Cavalier County Memorial Hos-pital has the tools and resources
for smokeless tobacco users who want to quit tobacco. Cavalier
County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) and Cavalier County Health District
are educating the community about how smokeless tobacco can cause
harm and encourage young people never to start using these
products.
In 2019, nearly 12% of North Dakota adult males reported us-ing
smokeless tobacco in the last 30 days. Both adult and high
school-aged males currently use smoke-less tobacco more than six
times the females' rate. Cavalier County Memorial Hospital
recognizes the most effective way to quit tobacco is to make a quit
plan. CCMH as-
sists those wanting to quit tobacco by providing educational
materials and tobacco cessation resources. In addition, the
statewide tobacco ces-sation program, NDQuits, offers free support
and coaching through phone and web programs.
“Quitting smokeless tobacco now reduces the risk of cancer,
heart dis-ease, birth defects, and even death,” said Courtney
Howatt with Cava-lier County Health District “Using any tobacco
product poses a risk to your health, and Through With Chew Week is
a great time to take back control of your health.”
Cavalier County Memorial Hos-pital has five tobacco treatment
specialists (TTS) available to help you quit; A TTS receives
special-ized training about tobacco-related health conditions,
cessation medi-cations, and behavioral counseling. Through
behavioral counseling, CCMH tobacco treatment special-ists help you
develop a quit plan that breaks routines to avoid trig-
gers and prepare for cravings to make your quit attempt more
suc-cessful. They can recommend ces-sation medications to reduce
with-drawal symptoms and cravings. Receiving counseling and using
cessation medications more than double your rate of success.
Cavalier s here to provide those who use smokeless tobacco
prod-ucts with the information they need to quit successfully,”
said Nancy Boe, TTS with Cavalier County Me-morial Hospital.“Our
goal during Through With Chew Week is to ed-ucate North Dakotans on
the dan-gers of smokeless tobacco, which includes cancers of the
mouth, esophagus, and pancreas, as well as many other health
problems like heart disease.”

Hospital Clinic at 256-6120.
