“Hope begins in the dark. The stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.” – Anne Lamott, Novelist

Stand up and be counted!
An accurate Census count will ensure funds for medical, food assistance, education and more. Remember: The next 10 years of funding and representation in government depends on population count….
On Tuesday, August 11, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin visiting households that have not responded to the 2020 Census as part of its Nonresponse Followup (NRFU) operation. To ensure a complete and accurate count, census takers will visit households through September 30 and will enter information on their Census Bureau issued smart phone to ensure information is safe and secure. Households can continue to self-respond online at 2020census.gov or by phone 844-330-2020 for English or 844-468-2020 for Spanish. Self-responding online, by phone, or by mail reduces the likelihood a census taker will visit a person’s home.

Chili cook-off events have been canceled for this year in Terlingua. These events bring a lot of money in scholarships to our tiny little school and graduating classes of sometimes less than 10 kids (which means that even if you are Valedictorian you don't get in big colleges because you are not in the top 10). The kids depend on these scholarships and some work their entire school career to graduate high and get that money to further their education. These scholarships can mean going to college or not for some.
This year it is likely that without donations the scholarships may be less or none for our 2021 seniors.
If you give money for anything this year, donate it here and specify for Big Bend High School graduates. If you give money for anything this year, donate it here and specify for Big Bend High School graduates.
