LP Receives Viking Coca Cola Donation

Lester Prairie Schools recently received a donation in the amount of $410.39 from Viking Coke.  The donation is part of the promotion of Coke products within the school and is a return for the school utilizing Coca Cola products in the concession stands and around the school.  Accepting the check, presented by Coca Cola were LP Athletic Director Blaine Walstrom and Principal Jeremy Schmidt. The money will be used to help with the school-wide PBIS initiative and also help fund promotions for students in the REACH program which is taught by Mr. Walstrom.

Winsted Public Library Silent Auction Benefits LP Media Center

 

Recently Winsted Public Library held their annual silent auction.  Students in grades K-5 donated goods for baskets to help raise money in the silent auction.  The event was coordinated by the LP Parents for Education and Winsted Libary personnel.  A check in the amount of $400 was donated back to LP media center and the funds will go toward the purchase of the 2015-16 Maud Hart Lovelace & Star of the North Nominated Books for the media center.
