SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE: Dear Colstrip Public Schools Community, In light of the recent losses within our community and out of deep respect for the grieving families, we have decided to postpone this year’s Pow Wow during Native American Week. We hope to hold it at a later date. Please know that we deeply appreciate your understanding during this difficult time. Native American Week activities will still take place at all three of our schools. We have thoughtfully planned various events that will be integrated into classrooms and school activities, continuing to honor and celebrate our Native American heritage, culture, and traditions. Thank you for your support and kindness. Scott O'Tremba Superintendent
