Students Set an Example to Follow

Article in the Fairfield Sun Times.

When our students go out on the road to participate as well as to support their school, we expect our students to be on their best behavior. With the varsity football team qualifying to participate in the Montana State Class "B" Playoffs, our kids were on the road quite a bit, traveling to two different communities, at far ends of the State. Being away from parents and their routines, students have the opportunity to do one of two things: good or bad.

Note to the Activity Director from the Hampton Inn in Butte.

In my experience as an administrator, I have seen both good and bad; however, here at Colstrip it has been GREAT! I can't tell you how proud it makes me to read a note from a hotel manager to the activity director as well as an article published in a visiting newspaper about the excellent behavior of our kids.

The Hampton Inn and the Fairfield Sun Times had nothing but great things to say about our football team and our cheerleaders. I can't help but share this with our community. We can all be proud of the children raised here. This is MAKING DUST!

It has been said that the true character of a person is revealed by the little things we do, because it is the little things that make a big difference. It is fair to say our kids are making a positive difference and the folks from neighboring communities are taking notice.

Well done staff, students and parents! Our kids are stirring up a little dust and setting an example to follow. Our children are the ambassadors of our community. Their actions speak volumes about our community values.

GO COLTS! GO FILLIES! 

MAKE DUST OR EAT DUST!

"Get out in front and stay there!"
