LOWER LAKE, Calif. – Highlands High and Highlands Academy in Lower Lake collaborated last year to create an 8 foot by 8 foot mural that now greets visitors as they enter the campus library.
Students painted their school mascot, hawks, flying in the sky with Mt. Konocti in the background.
The school’s acronym S.O.A.R. painted in the top corner represents articulated emphasis on “Success, Our Environment, Academics and Respect.”
Among the students who contributed to the mural were Martinique Throop, Chantilly Panell, Maria Hayes, Thea Eskue, Laura Houchins, Colten Rebone, Jennifer Matheson, Angel Dominquez, Alvin Wilder and Bryan Prothro.
When Congressman Mike Thompson visited the site in October, he posed with students for a photo in front of the mural. Special thanks to Academy student Erik Fielden who took the pictures and Bud Dillingham and Dave Thompson who hung the two-paneled mural.
Highland’s site council also recently bought a Skutt’s kiln for their site and plans are under way to expand Highland’s art capabilities to include ceramics for all students.

KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Big Read, a countywide literacy project, invites everyone in Lake County to a fundraiser held at the Moore Family Winery, 11990 Bottle Rock Road, Cobb, on Saturday, Jan. 8, 2011.
The fundraiser will begin at 6 p.m.
A delectable array of Italian dishes will be served family-style, along with a complimentary glass of celebrated Moore Family Wine.
A silent auction follows dinner and promises to offer interesting and unique baskets and gifts.
Musical entertainment throughout the evening will feature Lake County’s own Gill Brothers. Select readings will be presented by local students and artists .
The Big Read is a program designed to revitalize the role of literature in American culture. It is intended to involve not just the schools and students, but the community as a whole in celebrating reading.
A monetary grant provided by the National Endowment for the Arts in cooperation with Arts Midwest matches community raised funds. The National Endowment also provides comprehensive resources for a month long series of activities around a single book or author.
The Lake County Office of Education (LCOE) has a vision to enhance literacy throughout the county.
The leadership at the LCOE has chosen to partner with various community agencies, businesses and service organizations to help meet the requirements for the grant.
The Rotary Club of Kelseyville has already made the first pledge of support toward the Big Read fundraiser.
Tickets are $40 each and are available at Big Read partner, Mountain High Coffee and Books at their two locations: 16295 Highway 175, Cobb, and at 19849 Hartmann Road, Hidden Valley.
