St. Regis High School students participated in a job readiness program sponsored by Missoula College.
    Now that the shed is completed, the plan is to auction it off for St. Regis School, and the proceeds will go towards the shop program for buying more lumber to produce more sheds.  If you are interested in purchasing this shed, a silent auction will take place starting on April 24, and ending on May 15 at 4:00 pm. To place a bid, please contact the school, Jackie Sanford, at 406-649-2311 ext. 204. You can also email her at [email protected]. Bids must take place during the school day. The starting bid will be $1000 (Please note that the building materials alone were $750). If you would like to see the shed in person, please contact Ms. Jackie to schedule an appointment.

Fitting as a former Montana Highway Patrolman who gave 20 years of service to the state, followed by his current role as a county commissioner. He and his family were overwhelmed by the community's generous support during the benefit game and live auctions held to provide financial assistance as Shawn undergoes treatment for stage 4 colon cancer. Over $40,000 were raised for the Smalley family on April 4, with incredible donations such as guided hunts, firearms, fly fishing trips, a BBQ, and much more. (Mineral Independent/Amy Quinlivan)
