| 8/29/2025 |  THE GORGE — Columbia Gorge CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), in partnership with Adventist Health Columbia Gorge Foundation, announces the return of its annual Playhouse Raffle, this year featuring a beautifully crafted, custom-built playhouse designed and constructed by students at Hood River Valley High School (HRVHS). The playhouse valued at $6,000 is more than just a fun prize — it’s a powerful symbol of what happens when education, creativity, and community come together for a greater cause. Students in Michael Becker’s Advanced Wood and Construction class led the design and build process from start to finish. Working in teams, students first created small Styrofoam models. After careful consideration, one standout design was selected and brought to life as this year’s playhouse. more info... |
