Repay community by taking part in activities

Over the last month or so something miraculous has been going on in this end of the county. Because of selfish people refusing to vote for the much-needed levy. As a result of that our activities programs (sports, drama, clubs, DECA and others) were without funds.

The Booster Club stepped up and asked the community to help with donations to fund activities so that our youth could partake and enjoy what is rightfully theirs. So with those donations and other adjustments such as "pay to play," adjusted gate fees, etc., our youngsters will be able to be youngsters for now. 

This is not a permanent fix. It's only for the present. We still have a shortfall that only a levy or a change in state funding for education can fix. The handwriting is on the wall, you better read it and pay attention to what it says. 

The mentioned donations are an act of love for our children and community. So I ask all parents and guardians to point this out to our youngsters. It was done for them. They can repay everyone by putting out the effort to partake. Talk your classmates into joining you and going out for sports and enjoy the activities that are available. Priest River kids are just as good as any of our opponents. But to prove that we must join together and get after it. You will be working the rest of your lives. Take the time now and make it happen. Enjoy school now and take advantage of what it offers you.
