Kanikkeberg Scholarship Fund, Fund Raising Event

MARK YOUR CALENDARS! Friday evening, February 4th, there will be a baked food sale at the Boys Basketball game against Kamiah. All proceeds from the sale will go directly to the Ozzie Kanikkeberg Memorial Scholarship Fund, and in turn be distributed over time to Graduating GHS Seniors pursuing higher education. Bring your cash and come out to support this worthwhile cause, and maybe pick up some goodies to share at your Super Bowl Party this weekend, or just to enjoy at home. If you would like to donate a baked item, you can bring it to the game Friday night, drop it off in the High School Office during the day Friday, or at the home of Bill and Peggy LaMunyan (754 West Chestnut, Genesee). For further information, please call the LaMunyans at 285-1370.

*****CORRECTION*******

Yesterday's Bulletin had an announcement about a Genesee Recreation District Meeting being held at the school last night. The meeting was NOT the Genesee Recreation District, but another group now forming an Activities Association. This was a misunderstanding in communication with Shannon in the office. I apologize for that mis-communication and for any inconvenience it may have caused either group, or with the public's availability to attend.
