on behalf of the Friends of Arlee School I would like to thank CSKT Tribal Health and CSKT NRD Fish, Wildlife, Recreation & Conservation for putting on the Buttercup Run. They did an amazing job of coordinating the run, getting enough volunteers, and making sure the run went smoothly.
And what would the Buttercup Run be with out a tshirt with a design by a local artist. Thank you to Sashay Camel for doing this year’s beautiful design, it was definitely a big hit.
Also, thank you to Wilson’s Market for the oranges and McGowan Water for the hundreds of little water cups we used to keep our runners/walkers hydrated.
If the board of Friends of Arlee School didn’t say it enough yesterday, THANK YOU to all of the volunteers and the participants. The funds raised will go to a good cause, helping the Arlee teachers to purchase materials and supplies to enrich the education of the children of Arlee.

I also wanted to let you know we still have some of this year’s t-shirts left. If anyone wants to purchase one they are $20 for adult and $10 for youth sizes. Text Cherie at 406-260-7075 if you would like to purchase and I will let you know if we have your size and how you can pick it up.

Early last year Friends of Arlee School announced that they would no longer have the Buttercup Run. Almost immediately CSKT Tribal Health said that they would be happy to partner with Friends to keep the run going.

Last year In our partnership we put on a free fun run with rainy weather and found out just how popular the Buttercup Run is. Yesterday our partnership fully bloomed.

We would like to thank Arlee Schools for all of the years that they allowed us to use their facilities for the run and after run activities. This year the start/finish was moved to the Tribal Community Center in Arlee and the courses were changed. We had almost 320 people registered for the run, beautiful weather, good courses, and I believe a good time was had by all.

Thank you so much to CSKT Tribal Health, CSKT Natural Resources Department, Arlee Volunteer Fire Department, and all the volunteers. This has helped to put new life into Friends of Arlee School and we can continue giving grants to the teachers of Arlee.

From the Board of Directors
