The Sweet Home Elks held their annual Back to School giveaway for local elementary school students, above, on Monday, Oct. 5, at the lodge. Local students and teachers collected personal supplies for school as well as goodies for their classrooms. At left, Aimee Jo Johnston brings a smile to Lia Whinnery’s face with some face painting. Below, Allie Borromeo, 4, tosses a bean bag with coaching from her father Augie Borromeo. Children played games to win prizes, school supplies, that they would place in boxes to be delivered to their schools. The program is funded by Elks grant programs.
