Mark your calendars and join us for family movie night! This is a community event, however, we do ask that all children be accompanied by an adult!

Don't forget to order a ski helmet for your elementary student! Orders are due on Tuesday, November 21st!

These keys were found at the elementary school. They will remain at the office until claimed.

Our hearts and collection bins are overflowing! Thank you for all the generous donations we received this week to support our local food bank. We collected 420 items total. The Grizzlies won the food collection competition this year!

Well...Federal Student Aid did say the FAFSA would open in December.

The new and improved FAFSA will open on December 31st.

Delivery of applicant information from the FAFSA will be delayed, possibly until the end of January. This will mean significantly delayed financial aid award offers from the schools listed on your FAFSA. Be patient, it is going to be a stressful time for school financial aid offices, and they will do their best to communicate with the student applicant.

Fifth graders wrote their opinions about the Bobcats being superior today. They shared their collaborative essay with Mrs. Royce (A Griz fan).

Ski season is just around the corner and while our elementary students will not be skiing until March, we wanted to give our Husky families a quick overview of our ski program and an opportunity to order helmets in advance. This year, students in grades 1st through 5th will be going skiing. Fifth graders have the option to choose between skiing or snowboarding.

Ski days will be March 6th, 13th and 20th. Each ski day will cost $43 and is required to be paid seven days in advance. There are scholarships available, please contact Mrs. Griffin or Mrs. Shupe if you have questions about this option. More detailed ski day information will be sent home in early February.

Helmets are not required as part of our ski program; however, we strongly recommend that your skier has one. The Beartooth Billings Clinic Foundation offers certified helmets for a reasonable price. Attached to this letter is the ski helmet order form. Helmets are $25. Please make checks out to: BBCF. Completed order forms and payment are due to the elementary school office no later than Tuesday, November 21st.

Please call the office at (406)328-4581 if you have any additional questions. Thank you.

Don't forget that students are released tomorrow, November 9th at 1:30 with Parent-Teacher Conferences immediately following!
