Senior projects are wonderful. It is a joy to see the accomplishments the students make in their communities. Every spring the Idaho County YWCA has their annual auction to benefit victims of Domestic Abuse and Sexual Assault. Kristi Beckstead (YWCA) and Colleen Sonnen (mentor) were very excited when Prairie High School Seniors, Leann Lightfield and Pixie Jones wanted to run a silent auction along with the live auction. Plans were made in September, excitement was in the air and shopping began. THEN the Covid Virus came into our lives. Things were shut down and the YWCA auction was postponed. We were all disappointed. But, not to be outdone by the virus, the girls came up with the idea of moving their silent auction to a raffle. All summer long raffle tickets were placed in local communities and what a positive reaction they received. Many tickets were sold and in September the winners were drawn. Covid has taught all of us that we can adapt and survive the small bumps in the road. With such a successful raffle the girls were able to raise $1200 for the Idaho County YWCA and Kristi. We are very proud of the girls for quickly changing their plans, working on delivering and picking the tickets up and not giving up on their project. Prairie High School has an amazing student body and Leann and Pixie are two of their brightest stars. Congratulations on a project well done.Click on the photo for a larger view.
