It was a SUPER night for the Pirates in Billings tonight! The evening started with a win for our JV boys (16-14), followed by another win for our Lady Pirates (52-29), and a final win for our Varsity Pirates (70-55) They made us sweat for a bit before running away with it, and it's safe to say that Braylon Merritt had one heck of a game! It's good to be a Pirate!

If your child was seen in the fall you DO NOT have to fill out another form. If you can't remember if your child was seen or not, give me a call and I can let you know.

If you pick up your Jr High or High School student at the end of the day in the gravel lot at the end of the high school building, we ask that you please pull in to the lot instead of creating a line that backs up to the paved driveway. Other parents are not able to pull in when that drive is blocked and it creates somewhat dangerous traffic issues in other areas as they try to go around. Thank you for your help with this!
