Sunday Snow Day


Oh what fun they were having today playing on 
4th Street in Lyle!







Ideas for the Elementary School


Lyle citizens have been asked to share their thoughts on what shall become of the Lyle Elementary School located in the heart of our community on the corner of Third Street and Hiway 14. It is currently owned and maintained by the Lyle School District # 406 but school administration have indicated a need to reassess the current status of its use. The Lyle Twin Bridges Historical Museum occupies one of the old schoolrooms, and the skate park and green area have been enjoyed by youth and families through many seasons.
 What do you think? What would you like to see happen to this building and the park? Let's talk about it!

Helping Neighbors

Does anyone know of a neighbor or community member who might need help during this cold, snowy weather with shoveling snow, getting to the store, doctor, etc.? I can help.

We can hold the leadership plenty meeting in the basement at the Lyle United Methodist Church. The Pastor was very happy to say yes, this is what a church is all about, supporting the Community.

Hey Peoples..

I'm trying to figure this thing out and hoping that I'm doing it right. I can't find the place to read other people's comments so I just decided to let you know this old brain is slow in the understanding department...and I took lessons!! Don't know if I'm suppose to sign out with my name or it will be automatic...here goes.. Mildred.

Horizons Statewide Training




Seven Lyle residents attended the statewide Horizons training in Spokane, WA on December 2-4. The Three day event, hosted by the Northwest Area Foundation and WSU Extension, brought people together from 40 small rural communities to address issues of poverty reduction and increased leadership skills. 

Lyle citizens are looking forward to the possibilities that lie ahead. A new round of community engagement will be coming up after the first of the year. This next phase titled, LeadershipPlenty, consists of nine modules that address primary civic skills that allow community members to confidently identify local problems and implement a plan of action to combat those problems. 

There have been many accomplishments achieved in Lyle during the first Study Circle phase. Over 40 people joined together to discuss the needs of our community throughout the past five weeks. Now, we are eager to take the next step in selecting and implementing ideas that will benefit Lyle. Join us on December 21st for the Action Forum at the Lions Community Center from 1:00-4:00 and help shape the future of Lyle.
