What a great day at St. Mary - GNP! We learned about fire and also about Blackfeet history and culture. It was a great day to be outside in Montana!

Happy October! Despite it being early fall, FCCLA is already preparing for our Wreath sale. We will be contacting the same people on our list from last year. If you were left off our list last fall, I apologize! Please contact Mrs. Ehlers or an FCCLA member to be put on the list this year and we will make sure we send an FCCLA wreath seller to you!

Free Meals
As a reminder, all Kindergarten-12th grade students can eat both breakfast and lunch at school for free! We hope everyone takes advantage of this great opportunity!
One of my favorite Montana Historical Society's lessons is this one called "Step into the Picture." Fourth grade students analyzed photographs, most of which were done by Montana's own Charlie Russell, to dive deeper into the history of Montana in the early 1800s. Tomorrow, we will be writing poetry based on our journey into the picture.

Homecoming 2024 was one for the books! Students and staff spent Friday creating posters, decorating floats, and competing in class games (including the surprisingly difficult "Eat a Donut on a Stick"), before enjoying Saturday's parade & Homecoming games.
Thank you Logan Health for sponsoring the free BBQ at Homecoming 2024. Sunburst Schools and our community greatly appreciate your support.

Friday fun: big kids and little kids get together to color, read stories, and make new friends.
Happy Homecoming from the Seniors! We are looking forward to a fun Homecoming weekend!
School spirit is on full display this Refiner Friday. Happy Homecoming from NTC!!

For every transaction made using an Independence Bank Sunburst School Spirit Debit card, up to five cents goes back to Sunburst Schools. Thank you to all the Refiner fans who use the Sunburst School Spirit card!
Senior Night 2024
Tomorrow night, Saturday, September 28, at 6pm vs. North Star, our senior football players will be playing in their final home game. It is also Homecoming 2024! Please come and celebrate and cheer on Nico Postma, Wyatt Evans, and Virgil Manthey as they hopefully lead their Refiner team to victory!
Kindergarten class was busy decorating our classroom number line.
Students in grades 8 and 10 were invited to attend WOW (Worlds of Work) Day in Great Falls . Over 70 exhibitors, employers, and businesses representing trades, professional careers, and the military were on deck to answer questions about future opportunities for youth. The students were able to spend 25 minutes in four different zones interacting and learning what it might be like and what it takes to be a part of that field. I am always impressed with this event and grateful that the city of Great Falls invites us to attend!
Students and staff prove the phrase "Twinning is Winning" on this Homecoming Thursday.
