Thank you to Lindsay Sandon at the local library for allowing the National Honor Society to host today's story hour with a "Books and Blankies" theme! Big kids and little kids enjoyed reading books, singing songs, playing games, and painting pictures together. At the end of today's story hour, each attendee received a book and a hand-made blanket of their very own.




4th graders are really diving into their National History Day Topics and using their historical research skills to search through primary and secondary sources. Some of the topic boards you can look forward to viewing in the spring include; Fannie Sperry Steele, the Chinese experience in MT, the Buckley leaflet bomb, MT mathematician Gloria Hewitt, The Rocky Mountain Fur Trade and the Rendezvous system, as well as Montana WW2 veterans!
It's amazing to see what thesw yiung historians are discovering!
