School board election

The School District 6 Board of Trustees election will likely be canceled because no one has registered to challenge incumbents Jim Henjum and Jill Rocksund. The election won’t officially be called off until the end of the week, however, because people can still register as write-in candidates until April 10, School District 6 clerk Dustin Zuffelato said. If no one registers as a write-in, the election will be declared by acclamation.

Grad party

Parents of Columbia Falls Class of 2015 students will hold graduation party planning meetings in the high school foyer on Tuesdays at 7 p.m. All parents are encouraged to attend and help with fundraising and planning for a safe and enjoyable night for graduating seniors. For more information, call Kristine Bowman at 270-2097.
