Hope School Spring Fling this Saturday

Lunch, yard sale, plant sale, car wash and more to support Hope Elementary

Hope Elementary School has been hosting an annual Spring Fling fundraiser for eight years now, and in that time, the event has evolved into a notably complex mashup of activities that reflect some of the best things about spring in North Idaho.

The event, held Saturday, May 18, at the school, will feature a yard sale, plant sale, bake sale and car wash. There will also be BBQ lunches and chair massages, as well as free crafts and a free bike rodeo for the kids, where they’ll go through a course of bike safety lessons.

Hope School’s Partners in Education group puts on the event, which provides funds to help PIE in supporting the school’s teachers, students and local families.

The Spring Fling will be held 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the bike rodeo will take place from 10 a.m. to noon. Hope Elementary is located at 255 Hope School Road, across the highway from the Sam Owen Fire Station and up the hill. Those with questions can call the school at 208-255-7232.

While we have you ...

... if you appreciate that access to the news, opinion, humor, entertainment and cultural reporting in the Sandpoint Reader is freely available in our print newspaper as well as here on our website, we have a favor to ask. The Reader is locally owned and free of the large corporate, big-money influence that affects so much of the media today. We're supported entirely by our valued advertisers and readers. We're committed to continued free access to our paper and our website here with NO PAYWALL - period. But of course, it does cost money to produce the Reader. If you're a reader who appreciates the value of an independent, local news source, we hope you'll consider a voluntary contribution. You can help support the Reader for as little as $1.
