It's been said that good things come in threes. For Lakes Middle School, that idiom proved to be true Thursday as teachers Citali Sanchez Zuniga and Michelle Biediger and Principal Jeff Bengtson were honored by the Coeur d'Alene School District for their outstanding work as educators and leaders. The announcements were made during a lively assembly in the gym, where colorful confetti and the excited hollers and applause of students filled the air.
