Happiness is: a dog and a new backpack!

4th Annual Fill a Backpack/School Supply Drive: We are sending items through March 15, 2013, for Scarsdale teens to distribute: Form a team; raise money; or spread awareness.

Why now? Because some schools are running low on supplies.

Who will receive the donations? They will be collected and held by our friends at Re-Member (on the Rez) and with some help from one of our reps they will be distributed to schools by Scarsdale teens.

In 2012-13: Our First Annual Writing Challenge Exclusively for Middle School and High School residents of Pine Ridge -- we challenged students to tell us about the inspirational women in the community.

Details and Official Rules are found HERE. Winners have been contacted and the Grand Prize Middle School Winner is from the Red Shirt School, and the Grand Prize High School Winner is from the Little Wound School. On March 7 and March 8 our JUDGES will be on the Reservation to present student awards and to celebrate their entries about the inspirational women of Pine Ridge. The Scarsdale Rotary Club has awarded LCE a grant which will enable us to fund $1000 prizes for the schools of the Grand Prize winners!
