BLAST FROM THE PAST: Russ Davidson's Excellence in History

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

Colstrip Public Schools is so proud to share that our very own Russ Davidson won the Daughters of the American Revolution state and national History Teacher of the Year Award. Never mind that it happened in 2013, this is a blast from the past that is worth reminiscing. The Billings Gazette did such a nice job presenting this information the first time in 2013, that I encourage you to visit this link today: Colstrip Teacher Named Top in the Country for History.

The nice thing about history is that we can relive our successes and failures, and this article is too good to not celebrate all over again. More important is the fact that Davidson is still one of history's best.

Since my arrival in this district, Russ Davidson has done nothing but make DUST! All you have to do is walk into his classroom. EVERYTHING SPEAKS in Davidson's room. The walls are covered with posters and sayings that take you back to a time and place in history. His lectures are not only outstanding, but the facts and the way they are presented draw you into a world of yesteryear. It truly is an opportunity to relive history. Bringing relevance to learning is what Davidson is best at.

One thing is for sure, I wish I would have had a history teacher like Davidson when I was in high school. Regardless to my history, I've got him now right here in Colstrip. We are so lucky to have teachers like Mr. Davidson.

Russ Davidson continues to MAKE DUST at Colstrip Public Schools!

GO COLTS! GO FILLIES! 

MAKE DUST OR EAT DUST!
