Big News for Little Kids! 🎉
Last month, we received a $5,000 grant from the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas —and wow, what a difference it’s making!
Please go check it out. Two brand-new pieces of equipment have been added inside the toddler playground, giving our youngest visitors more ways to play safely. And remember those old spring riders that disappeared? They’re BACK with a fresh facelift and ready to bounce for many more years of fun! Thank you to our Public Works guys for helping out where needed! They are beautiful.
Thank you to the Community Foundation of Southwest Kansas for investing in our community’s future. Your generosity helps us create spaces where families can gather, older kids can enjoy the big playground, and toddlers have their own safe spot to play
Western Kansas Community Foundation Makes a Big Impact!
This incredible gift will fund the purchase of an Orb Rocker and install secure fencing around the toddler play area. The fencing ensures our youngest visitors can play safely on equipment designed for their size—because let’s be honest, 8-year-olds don’t make great babysitters! Meanwhile, older children can enjoy the “big” playground, and families can relax and gather at the Shelter House knowing everyone has a safe space.
In the photo, you’ll see members of our Youth Leadership Advisory Board, who learned about the Foundation’s mission and how this grant connects to the Community Survey conducted earlier this year. Your feedback guided this project—thank you for helping us identify what matters most!
Western Kansas Community Foundation’s generosity is helping us turn community needs into reality. Please continue to complete future surveys so we can keep building spaces that make Cimarron a great place for families.

Cimarron Students Forge a Legacy with Way-finding Signs
Ever driven into a town and wondered, “Where’s the courthouse? Do they have an airport?” The City of Cimarron now has the answer—thanks to the creativity and craftsmanship of Cimarron High School’s Ag Welding class.
This year, our talented students are leaving their mark on Cimarron forever by designing and building six custom way-finding directional signs that will guide residents and visitors alike.
Each sign will stand approximately 10 feet tall and 3 feet wide, making them both functional and iconic.
Under the guidance of Mike Curtiss, who designed the stunning wagon trail theme, these students are learning real-world skills while shaping our community's identity. The signs will not only point the way—they’ll tell a story of Cimarron’s heritage and the bright future our youth represent.
Why does this matter? These students are proving that young people can make a lasting impact. These signs will stand for decades, reminding everyone who passes through that Cimarron invests in its youth—and that our youth invest in Cimarron.
Completion is planned by the end of the school year, and when these signs go up, they won’t just direct traffic—they’ll direct pride straight into the heart of our town.
This is what happens when we empower our students. They don’t just learn—they lead. They create. They leave a legacy.
Pictured are Amelie Kite, 11th grade; Zak Miller, 11th grade; Tayten Davis, 11th grade; Khloe Robles, 10th grade; Damian Bond, 12th grade; Klayton Hessman, 10th grade; Cole Woods, 10th grade; Tim Nation, Code Enforcement; Charlotte Neuschafer, Community Development.
Not pictured are Caleb Peterson, 12th grade, Chase Brooks, 12th grade, Daniel Becker, 11th Grade, Isaak Vogel, 10th grade, Ervin Marquez, 10th grade, Matthew Kramer, 12th grade, Brecklyn Heath, 11th grade, and Carlos Villatoro, 12th grade.
