Townsend School District

Happy Friday afternoon. Our 5th day program was busy today with lots of activities, fun and even some messy moments. Loved hearing the laughter and learning. Next Friday we will be making bread and butter from scratch. I’ll share the final schedule of events early next week. At our after school program we are excited to announce the addition of learning to play guitar for grades 3 and up. Guitar will be offered every Monday from 4:30-5:30 for anyone who wants to learn or has their own guitar and wants to expand their knowledge. Bradi Watkins and Travis Ragen will be teaching the class. Pottery has been a big hit so I’m breaking down classes so everyone can enjoy it. Next week we will have pottery available for K/1 on Monday and 6-12 on Tuesday from 4:00-5:45. Please register for the 5th day on the 5th day google form. Lunch is free and available to all. Buses run to four locations. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Hartmann at 406-441-3425 or chartmann@townsend.k12.mt.us. Have a great weekend.

Pottery summer camp attendees: if you completed a pottery piece at the pottery guild and you'd like to keep it, please pick them up at 108 N Spruce on 9/25 or 9/26 or 9/27 between the hours of 4pm and 8pm. Anything not picked up will be tossed. Thank you.
