Preschool students receive surprise donation
Bright
Beginnings
Christian Preschool children
were excited to find a new
play structure in their play-
ground recently.
The large wooden play set
was generously donated by
Ken and Kristy Larson. When
school director Kristi Ryan
heard about the donation, she
quickly enlisted the help of
parents, staff and friends to
move the large structure.
The next morning, the chil-
dren were delighted to find a
new slide, swings and climb-
ing apparatus in their play-
ground.
“We’re so grateful to Ken
and Kristy Larson, this is an
important donation to our
school,” said Ryan. “Our
older play equipment was
becoming damaged by the
weather and in need of
replacement. The kids love
the new play structure.
“It allows for more fun
sensory
feedback. That
movement during break time
enhances the student’s ability
to learn and focus. We feel
really blessed by this dona-
tion to our school.”
Bright
Beginnings
Christian Preschool has
openings for summer session
beginning July 5 and continu-
ing through August. There
are also spaces available for
the Fall 2016 session.
For information, contact
Ryan at 541-999-0783 or at

Superintendent, Power of Florence
on KCST ‘Our Town’ today
An exit interview with the
outgoing school superintend-
ent, back to back to a conver-
sation with her successor, will
anchor today’s edition of
Coast Radio’s “Our Town,”
from 4 to 6 p.m. on KCST
106.9 FM.
Ethel Angal wrapped up a
four-decade career in educa-

stepped down after two years
as the top administrator at

school board in April to
replace Angal.
This week’s program will
also feature conversations with
the manager of the animal
shelter at the Oregon Coast
Humane Society (OCHS).
After 20 years, it changed
its name from the Florence
Area Humane Society (FAHS)
to more accurately reflect the
area they service.
Also on the docket in Our
Town will be information
about two upcoming benefit
events: The annual Power of
flOreNcE day is set for
Saturday, July 16.
Organizer and high school
junior Kaylee Graham and her
designated successor, Ava
Glowacki, will talk about all of
the events scheduled for that
day.
Also in the studio will be
Bobbie Harris, the chair of the
American Cancer Society
Florence Relay for Life, which
is coming up Aug. 13 and 14 at
Miller Park.
It’s all sponsored by Andy
Baber of Edward Jones
Investments; Holloway and
Associates CPAs; the Archives
Photo Restoration Specialists,
Lane Community College in
Florence, Siuslaw Public
Library and PeaceHealth.
Our Town airs on KCST,
FM 106.9, the first Wednesday
of each month between 4 and 6
p.m., then again the next
morning on KCFM, AM1250-
