Trout Creek Altacare program receives award

Here is some exciting information about Altacare at Trout Creek School.  Trout Creek School Altacare Program was awarded the North Western Program of the Year from Altacare/Acadia of Montana.  This was a great honor as Trout Creek School is one of the smallest schools in the state with Altacare.  The entire student body will celebrate with a Root beer Float Party during an awards ceremony next week.
