super successful. Point of note, if I may, Shodair is also a school with accreditation and
teachers all carry special education endorsements, and operates year around :)
Mark McGinley: Mark McGinley: 406-865-0119 mark.mcginley(at)mycacademy(dot)org
Peter Strauss: MYC is a GREAT program - we see it like Big Brothers Big Sisters
on steroids. We KNOW mentorship works - if you need statistics on how much just
being a friend to a young adult means to their success - contact BBBS.
rhondasafford: Thanks Mark - such a wonderful program! We have had some of
our foster youth at Reach Higher Montana finish this program and go on to be
successful.
Katie Gallagher: Katie from St. Peter’s- I would be remiss to not mention covid-19
vaccination. Many opportunities available in our community, including at awesome
fairgrounds site, St. Peter’s primary care clinic site, many pharmacies, etc. Here's the
great info and registration links, too!
