Divisional VB Tournament Bracket...GOOOO DOGS!!! 😃🙌🏻🐾🏐

Good morning K-5 Families! We have fun events planned for the week starting on October 31st at 9:00 am with our first quarter awards assembly which hosts a special guest speaker from the Sheriff’s department talking about Halloween safety. In addition to classroom parties and lots of treats, the students will parade through the middle school, high school, along the hospital on Oak St, down Broadway and back to the elementary on Pine starting at 2:30 pm. Attention k-12 families, on November 3, our 5th day program has a field trip to U of M in Missoula where they will learn what a pharmacists does in the lab, learn what a chemist does in the lab, learn how to make theatre props, fly drones and learn about the water cycle. Students will attend three grade appropriate sessions, all hands on with some unique experiences. The bus will leave at 8:00 and return at 4:30. We will have activities at the school if you do not want your child to go to Missoula. Please be sure to sign your child up to attend the 5th day program or email Mrs. Hartmann. Have a great week!

Come join us as we acknowledge our local Veterans.
