Summertime

Hello again! It's been a long time and we apologize for that. Pure & Simple has been going through many changes in the last year and we're excited for what is to come! Our commitment remains the same: To provide education about the healthy role of abstinence in teenagers' lives when it comes to risky behavior, be it pre-marital sex, drugs, alcohol, or the like. We will be operating a little differently now though. For those who have been with us awhile, you know that we had Federal grant money at one time. These funds do not exist anymore, so we are focusing more on grassroots fundraising now and re-establishing our base.

We are also in the process of moving offices. Feel free to stop by our new location at 2501 E Central, Wichita, KS and meet our new director, Catherine Seiwert.

A few of things that you have to look forward to are:

  • A new website: Our URL will remain the same, but we'll have a totally fresh look for easier navigation and reading. 
  • Community Events: This summer we'll be around the KS School Nurses Conference, the Midwest Catholic Family Conference, and the KS State Fair
  • Board of Advisor biannual meeting in early August.
  • Teacher Training in August or September
  • An essay and video contest for middle and high school students. The winners will be presented at the luncheon in November.
  • Our annual luncheon on November 16 at Newman. Theme and speaker TBA. 
  • Plus more!

Don't forget to tell your school or organization about us. We offer a variety of programs that we are keen to provide and educate with.

While you await our new website, check out our Facebook page, Twitter, and the newly introduced Pinterest!

P.S. Stay safe this summer, especially this 4th of July. Fireworks are a common cause of severe injuries and property damage. Please use them responsibly and never without adult supervision. Adults, be good examples by following instructions and safety cautions. Always have water or a fire extinguisher nearby.
