The students of Redoubt Elementary lined the hallway to toss food into the shopping carts as a race commenced between Dr. Steve Atwater, Kenai Peninsula Borough School District superintendent, and John Pothast, the school's principal, to collect food to donate to the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank. This activity is just one of countless ways the KPBSD schools donate to the food bank.

"I hate writing." I hear that all the time. But, are you sure you hate writing? Every time you type out a text message or update your Facebook status, you're writing. You just have to adventure beyond those confinements and taste the wonders of writing, get lost in the radiance of sculptured characters, throw yourself into another world, completely forget where you are and who you are for one brilliant moment. The characters become real and the story writes itself and somewhere along the way, you create yourself.
