This year, our 4th graders learned about Lewis & Clark, read "Captain's Dog", and went on a field trip to Travelers' Rest State Park (the place known to the Bitterroot Salish as "No Salmon").
To further our students' understanding of indigenous culture and how tribes & explorers communicated, Dr. Lanny Real Bird visited Daly Elementary on April 11. He did presentations on the history of the indigenous communication Plains Indian Sign Language (PISL). Through an authentic approach that promoted a respectful perspective on the Native American culture in a cross-curricular connection, students learned several Crow (Apsaalooke) hand signs. Dr. Real Bird is a member of the Montana Humanities program and an expert in Plains Indian Sign Language. We appreciate him taking the time to visit with our 4th graders!

Here is a tennis update from Coach Dufresne:
I have not done a great job communicating the successes of this year’s tennis season. Life gets busy, and we do or we don’t. This season I didn’t.
I plan an end of the season update, but tonight, after a rain delayed (thank you Canyons Athletic Club!) scattered first day of divisional tennis, I just want to encourage anyone and everyone to come to the brand new high school tennis courts Wednesday anytime between 9:00 am and dinner time. Even if it’s only for a few minutes.
Come experience the atmosphere: the camaraderie, the effort, the wins and the losses, the joy, the tears. Come rub elbows with an amazing group of kids from Hamilton, Corvallis, Stevensville, Dillon and Ronan. Come experience a great community of coaches and parents. Just come.
You won’t regret it.

Hamilton community, please take a moment to read the below thank you letter from our HSD3 board of trustees. Go Broncs!
Last week, the Hamilton High School Classroom Without Walls (CWW) class attended a three-day field trip in Yellowstone National Park. We had an amazing experience and are so fortunate and grateful for the organizations that helped make this trip possible. We would like to recognize and thank Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation, Hamilton High School FFE, and Bitterroot Climate Action Group for funding this trip.
Trip Overview - We stayed in Gardiner, Montana on the Yellowstone River at the North Yellowstone Lodge and Hostel. Here, we went fishing, made s’mores, played games, and cooked all of our meals. We spent one day in Yellowstone exploring the geology of YNP. We visited Norris Geyser Basin, Grand Prismatic Spring, Old Faithful, and finished the day with a hike to a waterfall. On Thursday, students woke up at 4AM to meet with a wolf biologist in the Lamar Valley. Here, we watched several wolves and a grizzly bear interact over a bison carcass. Later that morning, we met with a fisheries biologist near Canyon village to learn about the history of fish species in YNP, as well as current issues involving non-native fish. We then drove to Lewis and Clark Caverns and did a two hour cave tour before heading home.
Daly Families: Please join us for our last Mustang Meet-Up of the school year - Art in the Park - Thursday, May 29, 5-6:30PM @ Daly. Weather permitting, the event will be held outside. Please remember that all children must be accompanied by an adult.
