The Coeur d'Alene School District is hosting two special events next week for students and parents. The family friendly health fair will provide information and resources for a health life style and the cyberbullying parent info night aims to educate parents on the transition of bullying from the halls to the web.

The Second Annual Middle School Health Fair will be Monday, May 20th. The event is geared toward students in grades in 6-12 and their families. There will be nutrition specialists, fitness clubs, insurance agencies, medical professionals, make-up and hygiene professionals, and violence prevention professionals there as well as the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office. 

Students can receive immunization if they are accompanied by a parent and have their immunization records. There will be drawings and door prizes and the school district nutrition services department will sell dinner and other concessions. 

The Kootenai County Sheriff's Office is kicking off National Safe Boating Week with an attempt to set the world record for the most life jackets worn. "Ready, Set, Wear It!" will take place Saturday, May 18th.

Idaho Boating Safety Class students will gather at the Kootenai County Search and Rescue building to model different types and varieties of personal floatation devices. It is part of a year long effort by the North American Safe Boating Campaign to promote safe and responsible boating. 

According to the U.S. Coast Guard, 84 percent of boaters who drowned in 2011 were not wearing life jackets. 

"Each year, as many as 500 lives could have been saved if boaters had worn their life jackets," said Virgil Chambers, executive director of the National Safe Boating Council. "New life jackets on the market today make it easier than ever for a boater to have fun and stay safe on the water."

"Ready, Set, Wear It!" will promote the newer, more versatile life jackets and show that there are more comfortable options than the giant, orange, cumbersome life jackets of your youth. 

Furniture Row will host Military Appreciation Nights in each of its 330 stores nationwide on May 17th, the eve of Armed Forces Day.

Military Appreciation Nights will be held from 3pm to 9pm on Friday, May 17th inside all the specialty stores of Furniture Row­; Denver Mattress, Sofa Mart, Oak Express, and Bedroom Expressions.
