Divisional Wrestling: Good luck to the Mission-Charlo Wrestlers at the Western B-C Divisonal Tournament today and tomorrow in Pablo at SKC. Action starts at 10 AM this morning.
Senior Night: Tonight the Seniors and their parents will be honored between the varsity games. The JV’s start at 4 PM, GV approximately 5:30, and BV approximately 7:00.
Big Thanks! Thanks to the staff and parents who made the elementary ski trip a success last week. The kids were great and we had fun!
Charlo JH Girls Jamboree: On February 4th we host a girls junior high basketball jamboree. We need help with running clocks, taking tickets, etc. If you can be there that day to assist please contact Lorri O’Neill our AD. Her email is [email protected].
We have water! The water is back on and running. A broken pipe was found underneath the high school building. It has been repaired and now we have the boiler, kitchen, and restrooms all working again. I want to thank our maintenance crew, Pat Marmon, Drew Dumont, Shad Andersen, Joel Fuhrman, Francis Cahoon, and Big Creek Plumbing. Additional thanks to Charlo Grocery and Coulter Auto for helping out with restrooms.
Elementary Ski Trip: January 19 is the ski trip for grades 3-5 to Lookout Pass. Sign ups were sent home last week. The bus will start loading at 7:30 or when bus route students arrive. We will try to depart by 7:45 AM. We are usually back home about 6 PM.
Legislature: There are many bills being introduced in the legislature affecting public education. Some are positive and some negative. I would encourage everyone to pay close attention to any of the bills but especially HB 203. It fundamentally changes a school district’s ability to control out of district enrollment while affecting taxpayers/school districts in a negative way. School districts in the Mission Valley will be hit harder than most due to the mobility of students throughout the Mission Valley. If you have questions about the legislature and public education bills please call the office. You can also find information on the Montana School Board Association website.
Normal School Day on Jan. 6: This Friday is a normal school day 7:50 AM to 4:00 PM.
Semester Ending: The first semester ends on Jan. 12. Please be sure to keep up with your student’s progress. High School students thinking of changing classes in their daily schedule should be visiting with Ms. Michels about those changes right now. If your student is thinking about Montana Digital Academy Classes have them see Mr. Love as soon as possible.
Philipsburg Basketball Game: We talked to Phillipsburg about 10 minutes ago and we are heading out to play as scheduled. 3:30 JVB, VG, VB.
Weather Impact: At this time we still plan to have school and compete in our scheduled games this week. If there are any changes, delays, or cancellations we will post those announcements on facebook, notify 750 KERR Radio, and email information as well.
Music Concerts: The Christmas concerts the last two evenings were very successful. The students, Mrs. Madden, and elementary classroom teachers did a great job. I hope you were able to attend.
Change to Pburg Game: There will be no JVG game @ PBurg on Tuesday. As soon as we get game times confirmed we will post it.
Tis the Season! Thank you to parents and local citizens for the assistance with finding student’s appropriate winter clothes, helping pay for participation fees, and helping with breakfast/lunch fees. Our families really appreciate it!
Shot Clock: We had a rehearsal for several volunteers to learn about running the shot clock last week. We could still use more help with either running the score clock or the shot clock. Our first home basketball games begin Dec. 17. If you can help us out during JV and Varsity games with running the shot clock, score clock, scorebooks, or ticket taking please contact Lorri O’Neill at [email protected].
SUPER SUBSTITUTES! This week we were hit with lots of staffing issues but because of our employees covering in other areas and our local substitutes, we kept everything running. Thank you to all of our subs in the community for always pitching in, sometimes as the last second: Alyssa Cahoon, Kandy Carey, Melissa Coleman, Crystal Stipe, Kendra Alder, Nichole Cote, Joe Bartlett, and Dana Darlington. I hope I didn’t miss anyone. We could not keep the doors open without you!
Thankful! We are so grateful to community members who have helped out with paying on participation fees and lunch accounts for some of our families this year. We are also thankful to those who have donated warm coats, snow pants, gloves, and hats to our students. There is always a need and it seems like the Viking Family always comes through! Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!
