Lakeside School District

Plummer, Idaho

Dear Superintendent Sharrett:

This morning [Thursday] I read the wonderful article “Plummer-Worley Students Stand Against Bullying” in The Coeur d’Alene Press. On behalf of the Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations Board of Directors, I want to thank and praise your administration, staff, faculty, Board of Trustees, and especially you and the students for this very important project. It will pay huge dividends in the lives of your student body.

Would you please extend our congratulations and our praise to the student body? We are so proud of them. Please extend a special thank you to students Cheyenne Scott, Sativa Bohlman, Rory Scott, Sarah Brown and Gavin Rea for writing the My Turn for The Coeur d’Alene Press.

As an organization for 34 years, our KCTFHR has worked to promote equality and respect for all people while combating harassment and hate activity/crimes, as we supported the victims. Over the past two years, we have especially supported the Coeur d’Alene School District’s outstanding anti-bullying program.

I believe I’m correct that the Benewah Coalition for Human Rights has played a major role in the two school districts in Benewah County regarding anti-bullying programs.

Again our congratulations. Keep up the good work.

Warm Regards,

Kootenai County Task Force on Human Relations Board of Directors

Tony Stewart, Secretary
