A tree dedication ceremony was held today at our Byxbe Campus, one of the first local events commemorating America’s 250th anniversary. America 250-Ohio, the state commission responsible for spearheading celebrations around the semiquincentennial in 2026, plans to plant a similar white oak tree in each of Ohio’s 88 counties. The commission’s Heritage Trees initiative draws inspiration from the historic Liberty Tree in Boston, which became a rallying point during the Revolutionary War period. Ohio chose to plant white oak trees because they grow in many soil types, resist most tree diseases and are native to the state.

Today in session, we were joined by caseworkers from Delaware County Job & Family Services as the Commissioners proclaimed April as Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Month in Delaware County. The Protective Services Division of JFS works with families to promote the safety and well-being of children and to provide ongoing supportive services that impact the health and development of victims of child abuse and neglect. The national theme of this year’s Child Abuse Prevention month is “Ensure They Shine,” a call to action for communities to support children in thriving and reaching their full potential.
