A "Novel" idea for the Yaak Wings Walk
Yaak Elementary School students raised $2,025 to support area residents and families battling cancer. This year they raised money by reading and receiving pledges from the community. From left, back row, area teacher Sabré Burson-Alderete, seventh grade student Ely Oehlke (273 pages), eighth grade student Jedidiah Jewett (173 pages) and teacher's aid Kimm Bowcutt. From left, front, are sixth grade student David Bartlett (681 pages), third grade student Ryker Jewett (89 pages) and fifth grade student John Charland (350 pages). Absent is second grade student Roman Bridges (36 pages).
This year’s 10th anniversary Yaak Wings Walk was another success, topping last year's record breaking total, with the current tally standing at $22,119.
Walk organizers along with husband and wife team, Robert Zaccheo and Roberta Deneau, stated, "Our friends, family and supporters never cease to amaze us."
The last big donation of $2,025 coming from the Yaak Elementary School, in the form of a "Big Check," evolved in a very unique way.
