The tree is up! Let the giving begin!

Are you in the holiday spirit yet?

One of the community’s most recognizable symbols of the season is ready.  The 28th annual Giving Tree is now on display in the Mirror-Reporter office at 12 N. 4th St.

For a quarter of a century, the Giving Tree has helped to make the holidays a little brighter for Clear Lake area families.

Sign-up forms for the Giving Tree were distributed in the Clear Lake School District and sent home with those attending Head Start and Lake Town Charlie Brown.

Business support for teacher training elevates student potential

If ever there was a win-win situation, it exists in the Industrial Arts Department at Clear Lake High School.

Thanks to Billion Ford of Clear Lake, CLHS instructor Mike Lester was able to attend a special “NC3 Train the Trainer” in North Carolina recently.  Following a week of intensive training, Lester has returned to CLHS with the ability to certify students in specific areas which will aid in accelerating their completion of college-level programs, as well as give them a leg-up in the job market.
