Here is a sneak peak at a future event for expectant mothers in our area. The Red River Parish Health Unit is celebrating World and National Breastfeeding Month during August. A special “Baby Shower” will be held the afternoon of August 11th at the health unit on Red Oak Road.

The Martin Water System advises customers that the system is under a boil advisory. This is due to water supply system problems. It is in effect until the water supply is cleared by health officials.

The start of school is quickly approaching. Both Red River and Riverdale have posted school supply lists and uniform requirements on their facebook pages. It is time to get ready now. Red River public schools are welcoming seven new teachers this fall, plus Red River High School has a new Principal and Assistant Principal.

Remember the “Back to School Bash” is happening late this month. All public school children who attend will receive a backpack and school supplies. There will be a hot dog supper, free haircuts, bounce houses, and many other surprises. It is all happening July 31st between 5:30 and 8:00 pm at the high school gym.
