We would like to extend our appreciation to Miss Columbia Homecoming's Teen, Lindi Flaig, for her thoughtful and impactful donation of communication card keychains.

As part of her community service initiative, “Listen Beyond Words”, and her “Communication is Key” movement, Lindi has created tools that will make a meaningful difference for both our officers and the community we serve. These keychains are designed to help bridge communication gaps, allowing officers to better understand and assist non-verbal children and adults during interactions.

Lindi’s dedication, compassion, and commitment to inclusion are truly inspiring. Her efforts not only raise awareness but also provide practical support that enhances safety, understanding, and connection within our community.

Thank you, Lindi, for your kindness, leadership, and for making communication more accessible for everyone.

We’re excited to have you on board and look forward to the experience, dedication, and service you’ll bring to our community. Welcome to the family!

On Monday morning, you may see a lot of emergency response presence, buses, and people walking close to Circleville City Schools. There is no emergency. It is important for our schools to practice so they know what to do if they ever do need to act.

Keeping our kids safe is a team effort, please slow down, stay alert, and watch for school buses, especially when lights are flashing.

Let’s all do our part to protect our Tigers!
