Due to safety reasons in the parking lot, the back gate will not be opened on Fridays for Running Club. All Running Club students and volunteers must enter through the front gate by the MRP.

Running Club will continue every Friday throughout the winter, weather permitting. A text will go out if we cancel due to inclement weather. Please arrive at the blacktop at 7:50 am to participate. Don’t Forget: Our next special charm day will be Friday, December 16th!

Help Wanted: Missoula Children's Theater

We are looking for someone to chair the event. This would include organizing sign-ups, auditions, rehearsals, and performances. General volunteers will be needed as well. We will also be looking for families to host our two guest artists. Hosting would include providing lodging in a single bedroom (private-space) and may include meals – the guests love to immerse themselves with the hosting families. For more information about leading the committee, being on the committee or hosting a guest artist, email us at LawrencePTOPrez@gmail.com. We are working on helpful information with specifics about each of these positions which will be shared out soon.
