The week began Sunday and runs through Saturday. The recognition follows a proclamation made during the Valley Falls City Council meeting of April 15.
The city says the week is meant to honor public servants across many roles, including first responders, healthcare professionals, teachers, public works staff, and others who help keep the city running, and it encourages residents to thank them for their commitment and service.
The City of Valley Falls is also recognizing May as Motorcycle Awareness Month, following a proclamation made during the same Council meeting.
The City says motorcycles are an important part of transportation and recreation across Kansas, and with more riders on the road, safety and awareness are especially important. The city is reminding drivers to stay alert, share the road, and show respect for motorcyclists on city streets and highways.
Mayor Dawn Kennedy is encouraging residents to promote safer roadways by watching for motorcycles and giving them space, with the goal of preventing crashes and keeping everyone safe.
