The Broadus boys finished out their regular season as conference co-champions with Melstone, after losing to Melstone last Friday, and beating Terry on Saturday.

The last time the Broadus boys team were district champs was in 2002, when Cody Samuelson and Kevin Bird strolled down the court. When we spoke to Coach Mike Richards about breaking the 20 year...
On Thursday, February 10th, the Broadus Wrestlers headed out for Billings, escorted out of town by Cass Zimmer and his garbage truck. Broadus Wrestling Coach Frankie Schoonover told us that this was the first-time wrestling at State in Billings for all four wrestlers. Last season Dakota Holbrook won sixth at State at 170 lbs; that tournament was held in Shelby, and was a decidedly less glamorous affair compared to the lights and sounds of the all-class tournament at First Interstate Arena...
Due to several recent dog related incidents in Broadus, the Town of Broadus would like to remind everyone of the dog and cat ordinance. That ordinance, passed in 2002, states that all dogs within the town limits must be restrained by an adequate fence, on a leash, or otherwise under the control of the owner at all times, and dogs will not be permitted to run at large.

One of our most important functions is to employ the best employees to work with your children. As most of you are aware, there is a national shortage of workers. Education was already experiencing a reduction in the number of college graduates entering the field of education, and the national shortage of workers has only complicated the matter. We are competing financially with our neighboring states and other Montana school districts. The competition for educators between schools has led to some interesting discussions with fellow...

They are part of a project funded in part with Library Services and Technology Act funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, administered by the Montana State Library.

This month I have ordered books for our young readers since it is Reading month at the elementary school. This yea...

By Tom Herzog It’s been said that if every church in America took on one Foster Child, there would be no need for orphanages or group homes in the United States. It should cause us to pause and consider what we each might be able to do to defend the powerless and create lasting social changes. There truly is power in taking action. Faith Bible Church has invited a representative from ChildBridge Montana to share how they can help empower families who are considering becoming care givers and to support families who have chosen to serve c...
February 17, 1922 To Overhaul Flour Mill and Produce Better Grade Flour Directors of the Broadus Co-operative Milling Company met Wednesday night and authorized John Leno, local miller, to proceed with his suggestions for overhauling the machinery.

The miller will start on these alterations at once and will have them completed within a week or ten days. Gri...
The rise in COVID-19 cases and the new federally mandated reimbursement program from insurance companies has led to an increase in demand for mail-order, self-administered COVID-19 tests.
