In February, Miles Partman, a junior at Evergreen TEC High School, organized a drive for new and used books, magazines, videos, and DVDs. The aim is to sell all of the donated items to Half Priced Books to help Capital High School in Olympia.

On Christmas Day, heavy snow caused Capital High’s roof to collapse, damaging the school library. Miles plans to send the proceeds to Olympia School District to help pay for new materials.
