Wow, what a showdown! The annual coin war at Utterback School was nothing short of legendary. I mean, who knew coins could lead to such epic battles? First off, let’s give a round of applause (or maybe a loud cheer) to our victorious BOBCATS! A whopping total of $1,073.41 was raised for the Pondera Food Bank. That’s right! And wait, there’s more – Town Pump is going to match that amount! So, drumroll please… that means the food bank will receive an astonishing $2,146.82! To everyone who participated, whether you were donating coins or counting them thank you for making this event a smashing success. You’ve proven that together, we can do amazing things – and maybe even make some new friends (or rivals) in the process! Here’s to next year’s coin war: may it be even more outrageous and full of surprises! Until then, keep saving those coins!!

Meadowlark School is in need of winter gear, especially boots, gloves/mittens, and snow pants. All donations, new and used, would be greatly appreciated and can be dropped off at the school.

Alright Bobcat and Griz Fans!!! Tomorrow is the FINAL day of the coin war at Utterback School! This is a fantastic opportunity for us to contribute to our community, as all donations will be directed towards the Pondera Food Pantry. Your participation not only supports our friendly competition but also plays a vital role in helping those in need. Remember, every quarter in a teams jar counts against them! As of the end of today, the BOBCATS are in the lead!

Gourdy spent the morning in Mrs. Vandyke's 5th grade classroom at Utterback School. Gourdy was able to work on his math skills, help students with their reading passages, check out the awesome book selections in the library, participate in band, and get a clean bill of health from the school Health Clinic
