Science Camp at FBMS

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

Science, science everywhere across curricular link! Frank Brattin Middle School hosted what Principal Pax Haslem called SCIENCE CAMP! It appeared to be science across the curriculum with teachers in every discipline hosting an activity/lab related to science. As the superintendent, I was pleased to see the interest taken by the kids as well as by the staff. Well done FBMS!

Wrestling Champions and a Belt Buckle to Prove It

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

How about those Colt Wrestlers. They are having a great year as they are winning: Champions at the Cowboy Invitational (again) in Miles City, placing top 3 at the Holiday Classic (again) in Great Falls as well as going down to Wyoming and winning the Moorcroft Invitational (again).

After winning the Montana State Class B Championship last year, it great to see the Colt grapplers so successful again this season.

Congratulations to the wrestling team and their outstanding accomplishments thus far! I am glad to see the Moorcroft Mixer treat their Champions so well. Nice hardware guys! Way to get out in front and stay there.

What I Love About My School

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

Regardless to where you go to school or where you went to school, what would you say if you were asked what you loved about your school?

Colstrip High School students share what they like about their school. I find these students responses to be straight forward and honest.


SPECIAL NOTE: I worked with two Cooperative Students (senior boys) to develop the footage in order to process this video.

We hope you enjoy the positive response to the question WHAT DO YOU LOVE ABOUT YOUR SCHOOL?

Low Temperatures Create Heating Issues at CHS

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

WEATHER UPDATE: The extreme temperatures outside have created heating issues at the High School. The air handling system that heats the cafeteria and office area is experiencing mechanical issues. It will take over a week before parts are available. There are backup radiant heat systems in these areas that haven’t been used for some time. We are doing everything possible to re-establish these backup systems and fix the main system.

In the meantime all other areas in the high school are operational. The academic wings, gym and auditorium all have heat. We have no reason to believe conditions are not safe and appropriate for our students and staff. All activities, including lunch, that are scheduled in the dining area of the cafeteria will be moved to the learning commons. Thank you for your understanding.

Let the VLOGGING Begin!

by Robert "Bob" Lewandowski

Social media extends its self in so many ways. In fact, social media has created a fundamental shift in power.  The district will attempt to utilize these media venues to share information and collect feedback to create a transparent environment that people know and trust. We hope to complement the concept of "word of mouth" with the light speed of social media.


MAKE DUST marks my first public YouTube Channel and this is my very first podcast on it. I encourage you to watch the podcast that I vlogged and subscribe to the MAKE DUST channel.
