Tea, dessert auction to benefit Rathdrum school

A tea and dessert auction fundraiser for Lakes Bible Academy in Rathdrum will be held from noon to 3 p.m. on Saturday at the Parkside Event Center, 601 E. Front St., Coeur d'Alene.

Tickets are $25 each.

The school is in its sixth year of operation and serves pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Parent Stephanie Hunter said Lakes' enrollment has decreased the past two years due to the recession and the staff's pay has been cut as a result.

"But instead of going out to find a position that pays more, they all stayed," Hunter said. "My goal is that Lakes can create enough revenue for our teachers to be compensated fairly for all they do, and for there to be enough remaining to invest in the resources we need to keep producing talented, socially and morally responsible young adults."

For reservations or information, call Hunter at 457-2901.
