Donations being accepted for Lake City’s Locker
Lake City High School is reaching out to the community.
Recently opening the Lake City Locker, in affiliation with the Coeur Group, Lake City High School will help their students in need. The Locker will provide school supplies, hygiene items and clothing.
But, the Locker is still empty. Once a teacher’s classroom, the Locker has clothing racks and shelves, with one side set up for girls, the other for boys. And, there will be other items all students need in the Locker, including school supplies, notebooks, backpacks, hats, gloves, pencils, shampoo and conditioner, soaps, deodorant, etc. Girls and/or boys items include girls’ hygiene products, girls and boys clothing.
Dustin Ainsworth, a member of Coeur Group, has helped with the project and said that it would ideally be seen as a senior class project, where each year every senior class would take on the Locker’s needs and keep it running. He also knows a project this large requires the help of the community. “It should be a high school goal, if not a community goal every year,” Ainsworth said.
To donate to the Lake City Locker or for more information, call Dustin Ainsworth at 659-6685 or Pam Asher at 769-0769.
Art contest planned by music school
Northwest Academy of Music in Coeur d’Alene is encouraging elementary through high school students in the Coeur d’Alene School District to follow their love of music and visual arts with a Win-a-Luna Art Contest.
The Luna Aurora “Imagine” and Neo “Your Space” guitar, designed by a stained glass artist, encourages the students to express their uniqueness by making their own images and collage on the guitar and change it whenever they want. The Academy’s art contest will provide an opportunity for kids win a guitar to pursue and play music and build and display their artistic talent.
Elementary students who like to draw and want a guitar of their own, in grades three through five, will need to draw a picture that would look good on the Aurora guitar. The grand prize winner will win the guitar. First prize will receive a Luna Guitar T-shirt and an Irish Tin Whistle; second prize is a portfolio book bag and a Blues Band harmonica; the third prize winner will receive a music ball cap and a Glo recorder; and 25 honorable mention winners will have their choice of a mini harmonica, a slide whistle, a bookmark, a clicker licker pop or whistle candy.
Artists and musicians in middle and high school, grades six through 12, will need to design a pick guard for the Neo guitar. The grand-prize winner will win the Neo electric guitar. First prize will receive a Gypsy Neo Single Cutaway electric guitar; the Johnson JG100 guitar will be given to the second-prize winner; third-prize winner will receive a Luna T-shirt; and 25 honorable mention winners will receive their choice of an Irish Tin Whistle, an inflatable guitar, an egg shaker, claves or a bumper sticker.
