The Assistance League of Everett offers to help with graduation expenses for high school seniors.

"Some families simply don’t have the financial ability to cover the graduation- related expenses for cap and gown, senior photos, announcements and the senior party," said Barb Richer, graduation awards chairwoman. "These students have worked very hard in order to be able to graduate and should have the opportunity to participate in senior activities along with their fellow classmates."

Last year, the league gave $200 each to 65 graduating seniors who showed financial need.

Students can apply through high school scholarship counselors. Applications are due March 12.

A video called "Uncovered: The Whole Truth about the Iraq War" will be shown at a meeting for Peace Action of Snohomish County at 6:30 p.m. Friday at Edmonds Christian Church, 23010 84th Ave. W.
