Hello from The Big Sky Country Montana!
J-I Elementary is a rural school in northcentral Montana just 30
miles south of the Canadian border. Our K-6 school has 50 students, 6
full-time teachers, and a part-time kindergarten teacher. Our school is
located in the town of Inverness with a population of about 60 people.The
town is about four blocks deep and three blocks wide with wheat fields
skirting the perimeter. It is situtated along US Highway 2. This is an
agricultural area with wheat farming as the main source of income. Farms
average approximately 2000 acres each. The nearest large city of 70,000 is
Great Falls located about 100 miles southwest.
The majority of our students ride the bus to and from school. Some
of them have a sixty mile round trip everyday. Our school day begins at
8:25 and ends at 3:20 for all K-6 students.
We have been experiencing temperature swings as great as 72 degrees
in the past week. We have snow on the ground, but not much for this time of
year.
The fifth and sixth graders will be participating together in this
project. Mrs. Weinert teaches fifth grade and has nine students. Mrs.
Rhodes teaches a class of seven sixth graders.
We are looking forward to working with all of you. This will be our
fourth year participating. Becky Weinert is the contact person for our
school.
Be talking to you online!
