Good morning, Billings.

A statewide outreach for Strengthening Families Month featured blue pinwheels in Billings to promote child abuse prevention and encourage parents to seek support.

The Montana Children’s Trust Fund partnered with local groups to deliver resources like parenting classes and plans to expand support programs statewide.

Billings hosts a busy weekend with the Jordan World Glow Circus at MetraPark through today and tomorrow, the free Buckaroo Bike Rodeo with repairs at Albertsons (511 Central Ave.) on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the Tour de Fleur bike race at Swords Park on Sunday.

Mr. Bartsch is honored by the One Class at a Time program for his energetic human anatomy classes at Billings Public Schools.

The Education Foundation awarded him a $500 grant and City Brew Coffee provided a $150 gift card to recognize his dedication.

Billings Public Schools released profiles of trustee board candidates in Single Member District -1 and High School District B as ballots begin to arrive.

Voters can review candidate details to make informed choices.

Students and community partners planted 48 trees at Skyview High School today during Earth Week to create greener, shaded outdoor spaces.

Organized by the Montana Urban and Community Forestry Association (with Arbor Day Foundation and HDR Foundation), the project will benefit future students for years to come.
