Parenting can be challenging. There's no manual, no dress rehearsal, and no one does it alone — it truly takes a village. 💛 For 15 years, Dolly Parton has been part of the village for Reno County families.
Since the Dolly Parton Imagination Library launched in Reno County back in 2011, United Way of Reno County has delivered over 416,000 free books to nearly 12,000 local kids from birth to age 5 — with more than 24,000 books going out in 2025 alone.
And the impact is real: seven years into the program, kindergarten readiness in Reno County climbed from roughly 48–52% all the way up to 79%. That's what a book a month, straight to a child's mailbox, can do.
As Dolly says: "If you can read, you can do anything."
If you have a little one under 5 at home, enroll them today — it's free, it doesn't matter what your family's income is, and by their 5th birthday they could have a home library of up to 60 books. 📚
Thank you, Dolly, for 15 years of helping raise readers in Reno County. 🧡 #DollyParton #ImaginationLibrary #RenoCounty #UnitedWay #EarlyLiteracy #ItTakesAVillage

Big news for the Salthawk family. After 34 years in public education — including five years leading Hutchinson Public Schools — Superintendent Dr. Dawn M. Johnson has announced she will retire at the conclusion of the 2026-2027 school year. From the classroom to district leadership — and alongside an extraordinary 41-year career of service in the U.S. Army Reserve — Dr. Johnson has dedicated her life to serving others. While there is still an entire school year of important work ahead, we are grateful for Dr. Johnson's leadership, her commitment to our students and staff, and the lasting impact she has made on Hutchinson Public Schools.
