A Break for the Grown-Ups

A movie, a show, a night that isn’t about permission slips — La Grande after the bell rings.

Lunch & Dinner

For the week nobody has the energy to cook, and for the coach who stayed late. La Grande’s kitchens, their pick.

Books & Supplies

Notebooks, a new reading list, shoes that fit this year — from local La Grande shops instead of a big-box aisle.

A Treat for the Teacher

A haircut, a massage, an hour that belongs to them — the kind of thank-you a classroom mug has never been.
