RED ROBIN: Staff have big hearts, souls

We want to express our thanks and deep gratitude to Red Robin Restaurant. We went to them for one request to help with a family this Christmas and the whole staff just poured out their hearts and souls giving, giving, and giving.

If you want the most fabulous hamburgers and the most delicious sweet potato fries in the community, please remember Red Robin. They are a wonderful, caring organization.

Thank you to Red Robin,

BORAH: Thanks to all for teacher support

Dear Community,

The Borah Elementary staff was the only school in the Coeur d'Alene School District that did not receive Pay for Performance. The Coeur d'Alene district staff and the Coeur d'Alene community rallied together and voluntarily shared some of their money with us so that our teaching efforts and achievements were valued and honored.

The Coeur d'Alene School District staff and the surrounding community have made it clear that there is solidarity among education professionals. You've shown that with the letters you've written on Borah's behalf, by voting down the Luna Laws, by speaking out to friends and neighbors, and by gracing Borah with our own special Pay for Performance. The Borah staff thanks you for holding our hands and sticking with us through this difficult time. We feel the warmth of your hands and your incredible support pulses through us each day as we embrace our jobs and continue to do our best with the responsibility of shaping the future and proudly teaching the children at Borah Elementary School.

Your gift not only renewed our sense of community, but recognized the dedication and hard work that we put forth on a daily basis. We are all in this together. Thank you for reinforcing that bond. It does take a village to raise a child.

Sincerely,

BORAH TEACHERS
