During the evening, several presentations were made, highlighting how these needs can...
Recently, a picture of the 1930 Cardwell High School football team was posted for sale on e-bay. Naturally, that intrigued me, so with the help of Roy Millegan’s compiling of information from years and years of newspapers, I located some fascinating stories. Football was first played at Cardwell according to what I found, in1929, but no records of the games, etc. There didn’t seem to be a name for the High School team. Scores were crazy. One was Cardwell 115 to 0 over Twin Bridiges! Whitehall often beat Cardwell, and Cardwell won a few. I wou...
Several families attended the 21st CCLC Dr. Seuss themed read-in last Thursday following our regular after school program. Children read to parents, and parents read to children while munching on some of the regularly served after school program snacks....

At each session, kids are not only taught how to cook, but they also learn about the food they are cooking. Volz said the idea behind the event is to not only get kids into the kitchen, but to also...

Last Saturday, Whitehall resident Mike Hagan traveled to Dillon to attend a world premier screening of the "The Big Muddy Western Film Series".

It’s interesting that there is four of each day of the week this February. Don’t believe that it only happens every 823 years or whatever. And don’t fall for the line that if you send it on to x number of people you will receive lots of money. It’s nice to have someone to check this sort of thing out for me. Last week I told you that Savannah Rossiter would not be returning to Cardwell for the 2017-2018 school year. Well, Patti Hanley has chosen to not renew her teaching position as third and fourth grade teacher, as well. Both of these l...

Growing up in Indiana, Whitehall resident Bonnie Graham showed an early interest in art. She took inspiration from her father who she said saw the beauty in everything, and would encourage her budding love of drawing. Last Sunday afternoon, an Artists Reception took place at Boulder Hot Springs to showcase her drawings on display through March in the resorts dining room. While the day was already extremely important as a chance for Graham to showcase her work, it took on even more significance...
Friday was a perfect day for skiing at Great Divide North of Helena. All of the students of the school boarded the school buses and made it a day of fun in the sun. Extras tagged along, too. Nice it was Friday. They could sleep in on Saturday. Trish Reiss headed up the planning and decorating crew for the Valentine Dinner at the Cardwell Church. Red Apron Catering served prime rib (it was delicious!), along with baked potatoes, etc. Cindy Brennan and her helper always prepare a great tasting meal. Games to keep the crowd busy as the food line...

Not much happening this week. The school kids did make their ski trip to Great Divide last Thursday. The blizzard conditions didn’t deter them at all. They held the Spelling Bee which you can read about in this paper in its own article. The Jr. High Honor Roll was announced by teacher, Michael Coombe. A Honor students were Wyatt Biggers and Katie Whitehurst. On the B Roll were Avery Coombe, Marta Nelson, Anna Nelson and Annie Engler. Continuing research on the Cardwell School history only adds to my curiosity. Mr. Puckett was Principal, C...
