Girls' Basketball Tournament This Weekend
Calling all parents of 5th-8th grade students! Working at concessions/admissions at the Cayuse tournaments is a fabulous and fun fundraising opportunity to help your child earn credit to help offset the cost of various class trips (i.e. 5th & 6th-grade Outdoor Ed, 7th & 8th-grade Montana History trip, 8th grade Escape), end-of-the-year 8th-grade graduation activities, etc.).
Shifts for this week's Girls Basketball Tournament are available Thursday - Saturday, February 29th - March 1st. Sign up using the Sign-Up Genius link provided HERE or on the Cayuse Prairie website.
Thank you for your support!
