Seeley Lake Elementary students delivered colorful luminaries to Seeley Lake businesses last week. The students made the bright candle gifts with crepe paper art. In addition to the larger upright luminaries, the smaller ones shown in the center were made for the students to take home to their parents. Along with the luminary, each business received a poem written by individual students on the subject of light. Funding for this project was provided by Liz Claiborne and Art Ortenberg who last year funded a similar Christmas project where the students distributed painted, plywood Christmas trees to businesses in Seeley Lake. Many of these plywood Christmas trees can be seen in front of businesses who have put them out again this year. A handful of students posed with these luminaries for a photo.
