Gause Elementary School's entry into the sixth annual Washougal Festival of Trees featured pink ornaments with the names of people whose lives have been impacted by cancer. It was one of 27 decorated trees that were part of the sixth annual event, held at Hathaway Elementary School Friday and Saturday. Papa's Prize went to the Jemtegaard Middle School Life Skills program students, for their Star Wars themed tree. According to organizers, proceeds from this year's event are still being tabulated, but estimates are that funds will exceed $11,000. Funds benefit Washougal schools.

“Live with courage, fight with strength.”

“Bravery.”
