On this weekend of thanks, Donovan Post can be especially grateful.
Post is the principal of Noli Indian School on the Soboba Indian Reservation near San Jacinto. He suddenly has the luxury of $100,000 to spend, courtesy of the San Manuel tribe by Highland.
The donation illustrates that the school serves a wider group of Native Americans than just the Soboba Band of Luiseño Indians. The school educates 173 children from sixth to 12th grade. About 15 percent are from the Soboba tribe.
The school has a fleet of 14 buses that pick up students from reservations as far as 80 miles away. Children are up at 5 a.m. for long trips from northern San Diego County, the San Bernardino area, the mountains, the San Gorgonio Pass and the desert. Besides the Soboba kids, the Morongo, Cahuilla, Pechanga, Pala, Pauma, La Jolla, Rincon, Augustine, Ramona, Torres Martinez and Los Coyotes reservations are represented in the student body.
The school operates with funds from the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs that are supplemented by the Soboba tribe. Post said the San Manuel $100,000 gift is especially helpful because federal grants are designated for specific purposes while the donation can be used for whatever is needed.
"I can't even tell you how excited I am," Post said. "It's an amazing gift. If a teacher needs $4,000 for history books, we can buy them."

Did You Know?
Western Center for Archaeology & Paleontology offers a field trip experience like no other in Riverside County.

San Jacinto Woman sets Guinness World Record
It started 19 years ago, when a ceramic cow with its front legs hanging over the edge of her mom's microwave oven inspired Denise Tubangui.
She bought one like it, then another cow collectible, and another and another: salt and pepper shakers, hanging cow chimes, coffee cups, ashtrays, a mail box, slippers, socks, a rain slicker ...
Some of her fans call her "cow gal," and clients of her La Petite Hair Shoppe never have trouble figuring out a gift for her: cows.
She lives close to historic San Jacinto dairies but doesn't own a live cow because her tract home neighborhood isn't zoned for the four-hoofed bovines.
"But I do have a miniature pot-bellied pig that looks like a cow," she said, before introducing visitors to 5-month-old Dolly, who has a cow-like black coat with white splotches.
Tubangui reached a milestone last month when the Guinness World Records sent her a certificate recognizing her 2,261 items as a cow collection world record. And she continues adding.
The Guinness process took about five months and included a 14-page application, 96 pictures and witness statements, she said. She joins the ranks of those who the Guinness Web site has recognized, including collectors of airplane sick bags, key chains and penguins.
Tubangui, 50, has moved her collection only once, when she brought 800 items from Lakewood to San Jacinto. "I visited a friend out here and saw all the dairies and just fell in love," she said.
The main showcase for her collection is a converted bedroom with shelving on the walls and her oldest acquisitions in tall oak cabinets. She refers to a second bedroom as her "cow overflow." Items are displayed throughout the house, including her beauty salon, which has a separate entrance.
There may be a collector gene in the family. Monkeys decorate her 10-year-old granddaughter's room.
Jan Murdock, 70, of Valle Vista, has known Tubangui for at least 18 years and worked with her at a Ford big rig dealership in Santa Fe Springs. Back then, "She was the cow lady, she loved cows," and kept collectibles in the office, Murdock said by phone.
"She moved out here first. She fell in love with all the cows out here. That was one of her reasons for moving," said Murdock, who moved to Valle Vista, east of Hemet, to be closer to family.
Client Sally Henningfeld, 74, of Hemet, met Tubangui when she was in beauty school. "She is like a daughter to me," she said. Henningfeld's additions to her hairdresser's collection include a welcome sign and a Beanie Baby.
Tubangui gets giddy when she gives cow collection tours and is amenable to modeling her cow costume -- it won her a second place in a costume contest. One of her prize possessions, given by friends, is a life-size plastic black and white calf.
Items from real cows include a cow dung patty encased in black and white splotched paint so it doesn't smell, and a cow jawbone.
Signs inside and outside and murals she painted in her garage have sayings like: "Happy cows come from San Jacinto" and "Welcome family, friends and udders."

Veterans Day San Jacinto
Free golf honors veterans at San Jacinto course
Two days of free golf is being teed up by Golden Era Golf Course Community Center as it presents its second annual Veterans Day Golf.
Not all the action will be on the greens Wednesday as a ceremony will be held at the center's clubhouse at 11 a.m. The public is invited to the patriotic ceremony that is to include an armored salute, an aerial presentation of the American flag by Just in Time Skydivers, performances by the San Jacinto High School marching band, several guest speakers and the playing of taps.
To honor veterans for their service to our country, two golf flights will be available each day. Although all 136 spots have been filled for Wednesday, there are still openings for Thursday.
Golfers can register through Tuesday. Check-in times are 7 and 11:30 a.m., and shotgun starts are scheduled for 7:30 a.m. and noon. A continental breakfast and lunch are included for all golfers.
"Last year there was such a demand for golfing that this year we decided to do this over a two-day period," said Muriel Dufresne, community affairs director for Golden Era. More than 80 veterans had to be turned away last year once the course reached its quota.
Another added attraction this year is an appearance by Joe Grohman and Pete Lowery, who will demonstrate adaptive golf clubs used by disabled golfers.
Keith Lundy, golf events coordinator and founder of the Veterans Day Golf event, is working with Grohman to offer The Inland Empire Disabled Veterans Golf Clinic Program at the Golden Era center starting Feb. 10.
"Several months after the first Veterans Day Golf event, I was watching one of the PGA golf tournaments on television and they showed a clip of a Wounded Warrior golf program," said Lundy. "I came up with the idea to seek out and invite disabled veterans to play in this year's Veterans Day event. I was put in touch with Joe Grohman, head professional at the Navy Golf Course in Cypress."
Lundy volunteered at Grohman's disabled veterans and Junior Blind golf clinics and wanted to bring something similar to San Jacinto. Grohman will be involved with the clinic and will also be a speaker at Wednesday's event.
"This event honors veterans of all wars and genders for their service to our country," said Lundy, of San Jacinto. It is made possible through contributions by nearly 20 different community sponsors.
The center is at 19871 Gilman Springs Road in San Jacinto.
Information, 951-654-5568.
