A father tells his son the greatest story ever told, and what begins as a bedtime tale becomes a life-changing journey. Through vivid imagination, the boy walks alongside Jesus, witnessing His miracles, facing His trials, and understanding His ultimate sacrifice. The King of Kings invites us to rediscover the enduring power of hope, love, and redemption through the eyes of a child.

The City invites residents to its Arbor Day event, Thursday, April 24 at 8:30 a.m.
at Joe Henry Memorial Park (2250 W. Colorado Street).
The annual tree planting serves as both a beautification effort and a hands-on educational experience. Community members are invited to join in planting the trees or simply observe. Parks and Recreation will provide tools and guidance, but participants should bring their own gardening gloves. The event is free and open to the public.
During this event, a member of the Yuma City Council will read the Arbor Day proclamation, then City staff and volunteers will plant approximately 40 trees approved for Yuma’s environment that are expected to provide large amounts of shade at maturity. Students from area schools typically attend and learn about the tree planting process as well.
The City thanks APS and the Department of Forestry and Fire Management for their sponsorship of Arbor Day.

Many high school students learn lessons in life by demonstrating resilience to overcome ethical dilemmas. Oftentimes, these stories are left untold, but they should be shared to inspire others to do the right thing even when no one is watching, and the BBB Ethical Torch Essay Scholarship does just that. Students are invited to write a 500-word essay that reflects on a meaningful experience or life lesson that proved making the right choice with positive morals was the best path forward. High school students in Greater AZ are eligible to apply and five winners will each be awarded $500-$1,500 in scholarships to be used for college tuition and expenses.
To submit an application or to learn more, visit torchessay.bbbcommunity.org. Submissions are accepted now through October 20, 2025; winners will be announced at BBB’s Torch Awards for Ethics celebration on November 19, 2025 and on the website.
Swiss America and Valley of the Sun-Camelback Kiwanis Club are sponsors for this year’s scholarship program.
