A scratch well done: Lakeland Junior High School teachers Jeni Nelson, left, and Taylor Skidmore from Rathdrum congratulate each other after a marathon ticket-scratching Thursday during the Idaho Lottery annual Scratch for Schools event at The Coeur d’Alene Inn Conference Center. More than 50 northern Idaho-area schools competed for the title of fastest-scratching school and could win cash for their classroom or school needs like playground equipment, books for their library or computer learning software. This year, a record 440 schools statewide are set to compete for an estimated $100,000 in winnings. They scratched an estimated 19,000 tickets during the two-hour event. (Kathy Plonka)
