Teammates Mentoring program have silent auction

The Teammates mentoring program has been hard at work preparing Christmas wreaths and small trees for a silent auction tonight during the Sidney Raiders basketball games. The money raised will go back into the program that benefits youths from elementary school to middle school. Any wreaths or trees not sold at the auction will be donated to the surrounding nursing facilities. Laney Wagner, left, said she and her mentor, Joan Huus (not pictured), have been working on their wreath for about three weeks. Ella Miller, middle back, said she and her mentor, Kim Castner, worked about a week on their tree and Paige Hobson, right, said she and her mentor, Jennifer Dinges, were able to complete their wreath within a day’s time. Every student with a mentor meets with them once a week on Wednesdays.
