The Kendrick Jr/Sr High School is hosting a book fair, “Santa’s Book Store”, on Dec. 10-13 from 8:00-3:30 every day and also on Tuesday and Thursday evening 6:00-8:00 PM.
A variety of books will be sold at bargain prices. All profits will go to the library.
Remember: books make great Christmas gifts! This is an excellent way to support education as well as have a good present too!
As part of the Palouse Discovery Science Center’s (PDSC) community outreach program, the science center will be presenting a program for families at four Latah County Libraries in December. The program topic, “Fooling Your Brain: Optical Tricks and Toys”, will introduce participants to hands-on activities similar to some of the ones they can experience at the PDSC when the new “Brain Power” exhibits go on display at the center’s Grand Re-Opening celebration in January.
Families will be invited to experience some fun optical illusions and make at least two toys to take home. After finding out about how the eye works and how quickly the brain interprets and sends signals to other parts of their bodies, participants will investigate how “persistence of vision” allows them to see things that they couldn’t see before. The program is free, appropriate for all ages, and will be presented by Kathy Dawes who is working at the Palouse Discovery Science Center (PDSC) as an AmeriCorps member sponsored by the Palouse Clearwater Environmental Institute (PCEI).
The program will be presented at the following locations and times:
Monday, December 10 – Troy Library from 6:15pm-7:00pm
Tuesday, December 11 – Juliaetta Library from 6:15pm–7:00pm
Thursday, December 13 – Potlatch Library from 6:30pm-7:30pm
Monday, December 17 – Moscow Library from 7:00pm–8:00pm
Ray Shoulders, a senior in Dr. Rula Awwad–Rafferty’s Interior Design Program, was assigned to our community to work with us on a community center design. Kendrick-Juliaetta and the 7 Ridges was one of 5 Horizons communities chosen for this hands on program.
Ray is researching best practices and design options that have worked in other communities as well as funding ideas and other considerations. He was able to attend the first meeting of the action team Bridge Builders, which has taken on researching the possibility of a community center among its goals. Ray was also able to meet with Lillian Howerton at a later date for more information.
As part of their senior design class assignment, the students assigned to the 5 communities will be creating a booklet that covers available research on best practices, participatory design process, designing a welcoming place, inclusivity, sustainability, and many other vital topics. All 14 of the Horizons communities will be invited to a final design forum is tentatively being planned for the week of December 10th. Each community will receive a copy of the research booklet for future planning in their own communities.
We are lucky to have been included in this class’ work. We are looking forward to the finished project. There will be a lot of good information contained in it that can help us.
If you have any upcoming events, we would like to tell about them here and in our Community Newsletter which is mailed to every residence in our Kendrick-Juliaetta and 7 Ridges community.
Are you having special services, events, celebrations, etc. that you would like to invite the community members to attend. The quarterly newsletter and this blog site are great places to help get the word out.
So, don’t wait a minute more. Send your information to kjand7r@gmail.com today.
