For a guy with a fairly common name, Mark Jones was an uncommon guy. He believed in the kids who fall through the cracks of society, the ones with difficult home lives who often find their way to juvenile detention. In his role managing the Post Falls School District's Alternative to Suspension Program, Jones led students to give back to their community through work at the Post Falls Community Garden and local seniors through the Meals on Wheels program. He led the charge for students to Stuff the Bus each year to support the food bank. Jones died June 15, 2024, but the work he did for the students and his community won't be forgotten. “He was a special guy,” said Mel Larson, a program coordinator with Third Avenue Marketplace.
