Get excited!! Our fundraiser winners will be announced this week! 🎉🥳👏🏻

UPDATE:
We wanted to share a quick update that our Family STEAM Night will ideally be moved to the fall. This time of year is incredibly busy for everyone, and we weren’t able to productively fit it into the calendar.

We’re excited to bring this event back when things slow down a bit—stay tuned for more details! 💙🐾

We are beyond grateful to everyone who helped make our Missoula Children’s Theatre production of Hercules such an incredible success! 💙

A huge thank you to the Columbia Falls High School for allowing us to use their beautiful theater space—it truly made the experience so special for our students.

Endless appreciation goes to Alyssa Morales for organizing and bringing this production to life. Countless days and months of hard work, dedication, and heart went into making this all happen, and it absolutely showed!

Thank you to the amazing theater directors for inspiring and guiding our kids, and to our wonderful staff and families who volunteered their time and energy to support this production.

Most importantly—our students were AMAZING! 🌟 They worked so hard, had so much fun, and we could not be more proud of each and every one of them.

What a memorable experience for all involved. Thank you for being such an incredible, supportive community! ❤️
