Help Wanted: Cayuse Prairie Girls’ Volleyball Tournament
We are calling all parents of 5th-8th grade students! This is a fantastic fundraising opportunity to help your child earn credit to help offset the cost of various class trips (5th & 6th-grade Outdoor Ed, 7th & 8th-grade Montana History trip, skiing, end-of-the-year 8th-grade graduation activities, etc.). You can work a shift in the concession stand or at the admissions table during our Girls’ Volleyball Tournament on October 7-10, 2024.
For those families with student-athletes, this is an opportunity to volunteer for Court Support. You are asked to volunteer 2 hours to have $40 reimbursed or transferred into your child's student account.
Follow the link in the newsletter or on the Cayuse website to Sign Up.
Thank you in advance for your support. Go Mustangs!

17th Annual Soup For Supper - October 17th!
CVFD - Volunteer Bakers Needed!
While ‘Friends of Creston Fire’ busily prepares for Soup for Supper, we depend on the community to help us by donating homemade cookies, cupcakes, and brownies. If you can bake some of your yummies, please take note of the following guidelines: no nuts; bake your brownies in a disposable pan, and don’t frost them or cut into servings; and we need the cookies and cupcakes both to be
large in size.
These can be dropped off at either the Creston or Lake Blaine Station any time after 8 AM on Thursday, the 17th. Thank you so much ahead of time. Let’s work together in making this fundraising opportunity the best one yet!
