A high school northwest of Spokane is finding a reason to cheer three months after the Spokane Complex Fires. Lakeside High School of the Nine Mile Falls School District is a finalist for a $1 million football field renovation, part of a “Friday Night 5G Lights” T-Mobile competition. The school already received about $255,00 in cash prizes and an additional weight room makeover as the West Division champions; now winning the grand prize could be a light at the end of the tunnel.
“We feel the love, support, and generosity from people all across our state,” Principal Mike McCune told KIRO Newsradio. “I think it just means so, so much to community members here; in the face of tragedy, we can have a reason to celebrate.”
Students learned on the morning of Oct. 29 that Lakeside High School became a top four finalist for the new football field award. The high school held a surprise assembly in its gym, inviting staff from across the district to celebrate.
