We are largely overdue in posting this and part of that is because things have been so very busy since school set back in and construction really started to take off!
We have some exciting updates to share but before we do, we need to take a moment to say a big THANK YOU to the District of Clearwater for their $2500 contribution to our epic project! Their interest and appreciation for this project has been great and they are a big part of why it's so easy for people in our lovely little town to "Love Where You Live!"
Things have been so busy that the picture you're seeing in this post was taken only a few weeks ago and now our structure has walls and much more!🥳😁🥳 You can catch an updated picture in the December school newsletter too if you'd like to see more.
We're not done yet though stay tuned for an update on how you can help with the completion of this fantastic addition to our student's learning space! 🤗

Please join us in saying a big Thank You to Trans Mountain Corporation for their generous $5000 donation towards our project. There have no doubt been challenges with the pipeline going through town over the past few years but there have also been many positives, this donation obviously being one of them.
One of many examples of the pipeline project and companies involved in it giving back to our awesome community.
Thanks again for your support and interest in our project, it is so greatly appreciated! 🙏

We are so super pleased and excited to announce we have broken ground!! 📣📣🥳💚🥳📣📣
It has been such a busy spring applying for grants and permits and lining up all the important construction plans and financials but we are well on our way and so very excited about it!!
NONE of this would be possible if it wasn't for the outstanding community support and interest and for that we would like to thank everyone.
More specifically, we'd like to give a big shout out and THANK YOU to the Raft River PAC for their generous donation of $5000 towards this amazing project. Our PAC is a small but mighty group of volunteers (ALWAYS LOOKING FOR MORE ACTIVE MEMBERS🤞) that works very hard raising money for the students at Raft. This hard work and attention to the students and school is what allows the PAC to be able to support all sorts of awesome programs and projects at Raft. We truly don't know where we would be without this awesome PAC group and sometimes all the THANK YOUS don't seem to be enough for this amazing group of get 'er done volunteers. You know who you are and we are so grateful to have you be a part of our school community! 💗
More donation announcements coming in the next few days and our apologies we haven't got these out sooner. Things have a tendency to get super busy once construction starts but.......the exciting part is CONSTRUCTION HAS STARTED WOOHOO!!!

Well it's a New Year and it's going to be a BIG ONE! 🤩🥳🤩
Before we get too ahead of ourselves however we'd like to take a minute to do a few more shout outs that we didn't get to from this fall.
Please join me in saying THANK YOU to Caitlin McIntosh with Caitlin McIntosh Mortgages for her generous $400 donation to this project! Always willing to help out, she has quickly become an awesome addition to our amazing little community! She's a Mom and active PAC member, volunteers with numerous organizations and events in town and one of the most thorough and organized mortgage brokers I've met! This lady gets it done and doesn't miss a beat, all with a beautiful smile on her face while she's at it!! ☺️Always a pleasure to work with this gem of a human being and our little town is blessed to have her!
We also had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Chia-Wen Chang this fall while canvassing town for donations for the silent auction. This wonderful man is the owner of the Clearwater Center; Home of The Right Place, Old Town Gift Shoppe, Hartty Clothing, The Grooming Shop and RBC to name a few. Mr. Chang literally pulled his wallet out without hesitation and handed us a crisp $100 bill to put towards our cause. He also shared his belief in supporting the young up and comers in this community as we all know they will be running this awesome town one day! 💗
We have a few more exciting announcements to share so stay tuned for more updates on this epic school project!

Here's some big news we've been so excited to share! 🤗
While we were prepping and planning and asking for donations for our big Music Night and Silent Auction last week we also got another super generous donation from our locally grown, owned and operated Fleetwest Enterprises Ltd.
When we approached Kelly for a silent auction donation he was not only very enthusiastic about the project but he called us back the very next day with a $5000 donation! 🤩
Big Thank you to Kelly Graffunder for his generous contribution to this project! We love that his girls will get to enjoy this epic and awesome addition to our school as they are current and soon to be RRE students themselves! 😎
The people make a community and we are so very blessed in our awesome little valley! 🙌💚🙌

Things have been crazy busy over here but here's a quick little update while we've got a hot minute.
We're organizing an awesome fundraiser for next week and working hard applying for more grants among tackling a few other logistical hurdles but we're getting 'er done! 🤗
Before things get too busy with next week's event we'd like to take the time to say a tremendous Thank you to Bannister Pipelines for their generous $5000 donation to our project!! 🙏
Perry Kocis (Indeginous/Community Liason with Banister) came to our school yard in September to check out the site and graciously present a few of our committee members with the $5000 cheque.
Thanks to Perry for taking time to meet us and to Bannister for supporting our project! 🙌💚🙌

Happy First week back to school everyone!! 🍎 📚
We're excited to share that a very talented and generous lady by the name of Jolayne brought these beautiful hand-made wreaths into Alana Menzel at Old Town Gift Shoppe and asked her to sell them and donate the proceeds to a local organization and.....she chose this project! 🤗
How cool is that??
Pop on down to the shoppe to see these beautiful, one-of-a kind creations! They would make a perfect gift for a friend or new addition to your fall décor and the best part is you're supporting an epic project for the elementary kids while you're at it. If this isn't a win/win I don't know what is! 😎

Hello, hello! 👋

Always a very community minded and generous business we're blessed to have these guys provide the awesome service they do in our town! Their support and interest in this amazing school project is so greatly appreciated and inspiring. Shout out and big THANK YOU to Lorne Selbee & Jennifer Selbee! You two and your whole team really exemplify our "Love where you live" motto and we thank you for your positive and upbeat awesomeness! 🤗🤩🤗

WOOHOO!! We deposited another cheque in our Outdoor Learning Space account last week! This one came from the sweet, caring, generous and ever charismatic Jen Belle!! 💚
This is a personal donation from a long time Clearwater resident who appreciates the importance and value in getting our kids outside to learn in this beautiful locale we get to call home! She's an avid outdoorswoman and a regular volunteer for many community programs. Those who have been blessed to have her as a cross country ski instructor know exactly what I'm talking about!
Please join us in giving Jen a great big THANK YOU for her support and interest in this epic project! 👏🙏👏
This lady is exactly what makes our community such a great place to live in! She truly exemplifies the motto "LOVE WHERE YOU LIVE!" and she challenges everyone to do the same!
Some of you may have caught it but many might have missed it so we shared her comment stating her pledge. SHE CHALLENGED OTHERS TO GET INVOLVED AND HAVE YOUR VOICES HEARD! Although were nearing the halfway point for funding we have a ways to go and the more people involved the better this will be!
Contact us today if you'd like to join our committee, volunteer for events, donate to the project or if you have some questions/feedback. This is a community project and the more people who take a part in it the better!
We and the Raft River Elementary kids thank you!! 💗
