During October the Nighthawks have been supporting Breast Cancer Awareness with several “pink” events. On Oct. 14 the volleyball team had “Fight like a Girl‚” day for their final game of the season. On Oct. 29 the staff and student body competed to see what group had the best participation in wearing pink and bringing donations for Breast Cancer Awareness. Also on the 29th the Nighthawks football team and cheerleaders sported their pink.

Nighthawk senior football players and cheerleaders and their parents were recognized Friday prior to the final home game of the season. Nighthawks’ football seniors were Scott Eberle, Lance Lindgren, Jared Hereford, Flash Hodges, Cody Kiehn, Earl Gaines, Trevor Renstrom, Michael Guidice, Cory Schultz, Riley Schell and DJ Brown. Nighthawk senior cheerleaders were Chloe Rambo, Alex Lanius and Jade Bogenreif.

Visit the Oakesdale Library to enjoy the recent improvements in the facility and its services. Thanks to the hard work of some library employees and the generosity of the Friends of the Library, the Oakesdale branch received a thorough cleaning, some new furniture, a well-stocked magazine rack and improved seating for public computers and Internet. Patron Claudia Louk says, “These changes give the library a much more tidy appearance overall, and really make it more inviting when you come in!”

Storytime welcomes children ages 1-5 each Wednesday at 12:30. This fall, youngsters are learning about autumn leaves, changing seasons and continuing with learning the letters of the alphabet and the sounds they make.

High School students are invited to join Rebecca M. Carroll, an independent college service planner, for a scholarship workshop Nov. 17 from 7-8 p.m at the Colfax Library. This free workshop will help students and parents understand the financial aid process when planning for college.

Oakesdale Library has many titles available to help with Holiday crafting needs. Library hours are Mondays from 1-6 and Wednesdays from 10:30-2.
