This last Saturday, our middle school students traveled to Helena to present and compete in the National History Day competition — and they represented our school with excellence, confidence, and incredible scholarship!
Students showcased months of research through exhibits and presentations, demonstrating critical thinking, creativity, and a deep understanding of their historical topics. We are incredibly proud to share that five middle school projects placed in the top two of their categories, earning automatic advancement to the state competition! 🎉👏
Our top two finishers that will be automatically competing in the state competition are as follows:
Evelynn Driskell - Solo Documentary
Colton Flowers - Solo Website
Tia Brunell, Addisyn Olney, and Lilah Pfister - Group Website
Kaylee Monroe and Ammitiel Slavin - Group Exhibit

This is an outstanding accomplishment and a testament to our students’ hard work, dedication, and passion for learning.
A special thank you to Mr. Buerkle for his amazing guidance and leadership showing our students what success looks like at Stevensville Middle School!

Our 6th grade students have been diving into some powerful learning with the guidance of their PE/health teacher, Mr. Curley! 💡💪
As part of their unit on the effects of drugs on the brain and body, students explored how substances can impact decision-making, mood, relationships, and long-term health. But they didn’t stop there…
They took it a step further by brainstorming 100 positive, healthy alternatives to drugs — and they did it in the most creative way possible! 🎨✨
Students designed characters to represent healthy choices and positive activities. From Winnie the Pooh to Sid the Sloth— their characters showed that there are countless ways to have fun, manage stress, and build confidence without turning to harmful substances.
We are so proud of our students for engaging in meaningful conversations and showing that healthy choices open the door to endless possibilities! 💙👏

Each piece is a unique expression of creativity, patience, and craftsmanship—highlighting how art can be both functional and meaningful.
We’re proud of the focus, creativity, and individuality shown in these student-made works! 💙🖤
