This year the Grand Coulee Dam PTA was able to put on a Halloween Festival that brought families together for a fun night of games, cake walk and costume parade. We put on a Christmas Bazaar for the first time, with over 35 vendors to present their wares and share in the good cheer for the Christmas season.

The bazaar wouldn’t have been such a success without the vendors, customers like you and help from the staff – Steve Knighten, Craig Purdy, Lisa Lakin, Susan Duclos and Tammy Norris. We also engaged the help of Lake Roosevelt High School students Eric Carrilo, Hunter Chapman, Michael Reyes, Michael Thomas and Terry Yazzie. Andrew McClure stayed, after selling live wreaths for his mom, to help my husband put ALL the tables back. Whew! Also, thanks to Loepp Furniture and the Coulee Dam Federal Credit Union.

The money raised from the bazaar and the upcoming book sale allows the Grand Coulee PTA to help classrooms with special purchases, Missoula Children’s Theater in March, Science Fair, Radical Risk, Father-Daughter/Mother-Son Dance in February, Movie Night and much more.

We hope you are able to join us for some of these events. Help is always welcomed and we appreciate any feedback or ideas for the coming year.

Come to a PTA meeting when you have a chance.
