Local artist Kris Gullikson presents Seeley Lake Elementary School staff with an $80 check intended to go towards student art supplies. The money came from donations raised at Grizzly Claw Trading Co. during Alpine Artisans Inc's Art Supplies Giving Tree. "There was a lot of competition for donations this year, so we feel great to be able to give this to the teachers this year," Gullikson said in a press release. Those interested in making additional donations to the school should mail said donations directly to the school. Since inception 2018, the Giving Tree has raised nearly $1,700 for SLE.
