Volleyball Goes to State
For the first time in school history, our varsity volleyball girls have qualified for the Montana Christian Athletic Association volleyball state tournament, to be held Thursday-Saturday, October 25-27, at Heritage Christian School in Bozeman. Parents, look for an email from Mr. Dunham detailing our plans as a school to support the girls as they prepare for and play in the tournament (official bracket to be distributed as soon as we receive it).
Retakes Tuesday, 8/16
Picture retakes will be the morning of Tuesday October 16. If you ordered a photo package from Ashley Dawn Photography, you should have received a photo proof on a green half sheet of paper last week. If you would like your student’s picture to be retaken, please email Eli Denison. (Note: If your student was absent during school photos in September, he or she will be photographed on Tuesday as well.) Don’t forget to bring your picture envelopes after Fall Break! For more information on photo packets, please contact photographer Ashely Driscoll directly.
Saturday Soccer Cancelled
The soccer game scheduled for 11 a.m. today (10/13) between Ophir and Petra is cancelled due to weather conditions. As of 8 a.m., we have an inch of snow on the field and it’s still coming down, with temperatures forecasted to be barely above freezing. For the sake of everyone’s safety (both on the field and for our friends from Ophir driving to Bozeman), we’re going to call off the game. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Spell-a-thon Begins!
Our annual Spell-a-thon has officially begun, so each week, we’ll feature one of our elementary classes to remind us (this week, it’s Mrs. Miller’s Kindergarten class).
