Lake Tahoe Unified School District Board candidates will be speaking from 6-7pm, Lake Tahoe Community College Board candidates will have their discussion from 7-8pm. This event is free.

The Lake Tahoe Educational Foundation is sponsoring a Food Fest on Oct. 16 from 6:30-10 P.M. at Harvey’s Convention Center to raise funds for enrichment programs in all schools in Lake Tahoe Unified School District.

This fun community activity will feature great food by local restaurants, beer and wine tasting, a silent auction, and music. Since school funding has been dramatically cut for the coming school year, the enrichment programs provided by LTEF offer many students opportunities to participate in art, music, science, math, marine biology, health education activities that would not otherwise be available. Tickets are $35 in advance and $40 at the door and are available at all elementary schools, the LTUSD office and Fox Gas. All proceeds benefit our local schools.
