The Montana State University-Northern Lights will have to wait another week to win their first football game of the season.

As a 20-year classroom teacher, I’ve seen first-hand how schools constantly work to make their education dollars stretch as far as possible. From textbooks and lab supplies, to technology and instructional tools, Montana educators are ensuring that the resources that are allocated to schools are used in the most efficient way possible. An often forgotten cost of educating students is the expense of keeping lights on and water running in our schools. This is why I’m pleased, this week, to be kicking off the second annual SMA...
