What is Red Ribbon Week?
Red Ribbon Week is our nation's largest and longest-running drug-use prevention campaign. It began as a result of the kidnapping and death of Enrique "Kiki" Camarena, a Drug Enforcement Administration Agent, that was working to bring down one of the largest drug traffickers in the nation. His family, friends, and much-loved community began to wear red badges of satin in his honor, and the symbol of drug prevention was born. In 1988, the National Family Partnership sponsored the first Red Ribbon Celebration, and today the Red Ribbon continues to signify hope for healthier choices and communities.
A Safety Committee Meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 22, 2024. See the link for more information.

FFA, 4th, and 5th grade had a great day at Edgewater Farms in Townsend.

Join us for Mandt Training next month.
Mrs. Freeze's 5th graders interviewed local veterans last week for the upcoming Veterans Day program at the school. More details about the program will be available soon.
Due to the shortage of officials there will be two changes to the high school football schedule:
1) Senior Night will be October 18th vs. Lincoln
2) The final game of the regular season is Thursday, October 24th vs. West Yellowstone.
Please share this with everyone you know. Thank you.

In the wake of a heartbreaking tragedy, our neighboring community needs our support now more than ever. Join us as we come together to lend a helping hand by relieving some of the financial burden. We are going to host Penny Wars starting 10/9 thru 10/14 to help the Shields Valley families. If your child asks for a few coins this would be the reason. If you can share, please do so. Let the game begin.
Tomorrow, we kick off College Application Week in Hornet Country! Teachers will be sharing their own alma maters and experiences throughout all grade levels, and we encourage parents to do the same. Seniors and parents are encouraged to attend the College Application Night on Tuesday evening, and all are encouraged to sport their college pride on Friday. Questions regarding the week and applying for colleges (and more!) can be directed to our School Counselor, Ms. Tiffany.
Come support the FFA during the Fall Festival!

The 4 Day School Week needs assessment was sent earlier this week through the school text messaging system. This survey is to assess the needs of our students and families for the upcoming semester January-May 2025. If you did not fill this out online and would like to provide feedback, please come in to the school on or before Monday October 7th to fill out the survey. You can also opt IN to the school’s messaging system to receive surveys and other important school information by calling our front office (406) 547-3751. There will be another community survey after the first of the year to determine the sustainability of the 4 Day School Week.
There was an assembly held to recognize our students progress. Also known as our "One Smart Cookie" Assembly.
Our ACT scores for the graduating class of 2025 is 21.3 and the state average is 19.4.
Our students grades 3-8 increased English Language Arts 8.6% in the 2023 testing from the previous year. An increase of 10.5% was made in math.
We hope to continue our upward trend of scores through appropriate curriculum, increased professional development for staff, increased attendance by students and fidelity to programs.
Our B.E.E. Award winner, Ruth Holmes made all our students cookies for breakfast! Thank you Ruth for always going the extra mile for our students.
Way to go staff and students.
