Montana Patriots: How to Support the Gifted & Talented in Polson
Attention Montana patriots- if you want to sink your claws into the painting above AND help the Polson schools...here you go.
Tamara Alley is the gifted education specialist for Polson's K-12 schools. She's working to raise money for the program and Kevin Corcoran generously donated the patriotic eagle painting seen above (photo in right side of picture).
Tamara tells us:
The painting is 2 feet wide x 4 feet tall. It is an original painting in the medium of oil on wood. Normally Kevin's paintings sell for around $3500, so the painting's minimum opening bid in our silent auction of $2300 is a great deal for the right person. Plus all proceeds go to support our gifted education services.Kevin is a local Polson artist who graciously donated this painting that I'm sure he put many, many hours into. It is truly stunning to look at and although I'm including photos, they just don't do justice to how spectacular this painting is in person. Its size is also impressive!
You've still got time to bid in the online silent auction if you'd like to win the painting.
Here's the link for bidding on the painting: https://forms.gle/2pJvUig16uxA7QrcA
Bidding is online through 4:00 PM on Friday, February 28th.
Tamara Alley says, "these services matter a great deal to our brightest students who are also out-of-the-box learners." She added that Polson "has had gifted education services and a GT (gifted and talented) teacher for over 40 years. Unfortunately, a tighter-than-usual projected budget for next year is putting these (and other) services in jeopardy. We were also in this boat last spring (fundraising for GT for this school year) for the same reason. We were successful once and are determined to be so again."

LOOK: 35 Vintage Cereals That Perfectly Captured Pop Culture Moments
Movies and TV shows have always found ways to partner with cereal companies as part of their promotion strategy. While some may have come up with a giveaway in boxes, others went big by having their own cereal connected to the movie or TV show title. Here are vintage cereals that were used to promote some of pop culture's biggest moments (and some you probably forgot about).
