Manson School District was presented with a check in the amount of roughly $2,650 after being selected as the recipient of the "Change for Charities" program. The program is sponsored through 12 Tribes Colville Casinos and General Manager of Mill Bay Casino, Tony Posey, presented the check to Superintendent Matt Charlton, ASB President Parker Schoenwald and middle and high school principal Heather Ireland.

"The Mill Bay Casino donated over $2,600 to our K-12 school," said Charlton. "We really appreciate the support of both of our local casino, Mill Bay, and the broader 12 Tribes Colville Casinos."

The funds will benefit students kindergarten-12th grade in need of financial assistance to participate in extracurricular activities, field trips or various other extras connected to the school.

"The money will be used for students fees or student activities that maybe a student or their family can't afford. It's nice to have a fund where we can help those students be involved in any activity they wish to be," said Charlton.
