SHS Academic Decathlon team deserves applause

Congratulations to the Sandpoint High School Academic Decathlon team for winning the Idaho championship! Let's come together and support their $8,000 trip to Texas for the national competition in April.

Donations are eligible for the special Idaho educational tax credit. Mary Bird, the team's coach, tells me that checks can be made out to "SHS Academic Decathlon" and mailed to or dropped off at the high school.

Good luck at nationals, champs!
