Giving thanks at Lakes

Middle school hosts annual Lakesgiving

An oversized Jenga tower stood nearly 30 levels tall, beckoning Lakes Middle School sixth grader Tucker Bowman to pull the final block. "It really hurt my heart to pull that one, but I kind of knew I had to do it," Tucker said, grinning after playing a competitive game at the Kootenai Technical Education Campus station. Games and family fun were just a slice of the excitement Wednesday evening at Lakes, where masses of families, faculty, staff and community members celebrated the school's annual Lakesgiving.
