Lakeland Joint School District No. 272

This summer, Lakeland Joint School District will be using a portion of the one-time modernization funding provided by the State of Idaho to update and modernize some of our oldest school buildings.
This funding is intended to address facility needs, improve learning environments, and help maintain school buildings across the state, ensuring students and staff have safe, functional, and modern spaces to learn and work.
Due to the use of the one-time funding, the areas around John Brown Elementary and Lakeland Middle School will be closed.

Please note that access around John Brown Elementary and Lakeland Middle School will be restricted during construction as part of the State of Idaho’s one-time school modernization funding project. Separately, the City of Rathdrum will be repaving Washington Avenue in front of John Brown Elementary and the Lakeland Joint School District Office.
This means:
📢Access is restricted on Washington Ave starting June 12
📢Access is restricted on and around John Brown and John Brown Playground until construction is completed
📢Access is restricted to Lakeland Middle School and Lakeland Middle School parking lot until updates are complete
📢Parking to access the District Office will be next to the Lakeland Transportation Department

The Lakeland Joint School District is proud to congratulate Lloyd Moe on his induction into the North Idaho Officials Hall of Fame.
For more than two decades, Lloyd was one of the most respected wrestling officials in the region, officiating 23 seasons in Idaho and two in Washington. He was selected to work 15 Idaho State Wrestling Championships, 17 district tournaments, numerous premier events including the Tri-State and Rollie Lane tournaments, and twice officiated the America's Cup All-Star Wrestling Tournament. He also served as an NIOA representative and evaluator, helping mentor and develop the next generation of officials.
Beyond the wrestling mat, Lloyd dedicated over 30 years to his students, teaching at Athol Elementary from 1993 until his retirement in 2023, first as a sixth-grade teacher and later as the physical education teacher. His passion for education and youth athletics also led him to coach wrestling and establish the Athol Elementary wrestling program, impacting countless young athletes.
Congratulations, Lloyd, on this well-deserved honor and thank you for your years of service to our students, schools, and the wrestling community!

Lakeland Joint School District was honored to attend yesterday's celebration of the Timberlake Community Field House, a project built on something far more powerful than concrete and steel. It is a project built on love.

For the past three and a half years, Timberlake High School Principal Ryne Eberlin has worked tirelessly to turn a dream into reality. During his nine years as principal, Ryne has developed a deep love for Timberlake High School, its students, and the communities of Athol, Spirit Lake, and Bayview that have supported the school through the years. The Timberlake Community Field House is a reflection of that relationship and a testament to what can happen when a community rallies around a shared vision.

We are incredibly proud of Ryne and grateful to the many donors, businesses, organizations, and community members who have helped make Phase 1 possible. This project is being funded entirely through private donations, demonstrating the generosity of a community that believes in its students.

We would also like to extend our sincere gratitude to Silverwood Theme Park, Jordan and Amy Redman, Idaho Central Credit Union, and the Coeur d'Alene Tribe for their generous support of this project. Their contributions, along with those of many other donors, have helped transform a dream into a reality for Timberlake students and the greater community.

The Timberlake Community Field House will serve both Timberlake students and the greater Timberlake community. It is truly intended for the students, families, and residents of Athol, Bayview, and Spirit Lake. The facility will provide a year-round space where students can practice, compete, and build skills while also creating opportunities for families, retirees, athletes, and community groups to gather, stay active, and connect.

As Phase 1 moves forward, fundraising efforts are underway for the remaining phases. Phase 2 will add restrooms and storage space, while Phase 3 will complete the facility with dedicated parking and sports flooring, creating a fully functional turnkey community resource.

Congratulations to Ryne, Timberlake High School, and everyone who has helped make this dream a reality. Thank you to every donor whose generosity has brought the project this far. If you would like to help support this amazing project, please contact Ryne Eberlin at [email protected].

The Timberlake Community Field House is more than a building. It is a reflection of love for Timberlake High School and its students, the love the communities of Athol, Bayview, and Spirit Lake have shown the school throughout the years, and what can happen when people come together to invest in the future of their children and their community.
