While school year started Wednesday for Belgrade students, the alternative high school program will begin Monday. But the program has yet to find a permanent new home, and for the time being will be housed in two classrooms at the high school, officials said.
The district is considering leasing a portion of an 18,000-square-foot building in the Bruce Industrial Park, the former home of Phillips Environmental. School officials are looking to team up with Career Transitions and R.E.A.D.I. Workforce Training System to create a “one-stop shop” for training, counseling and other job-related endeavors.

As a project of CT, The Gallatin Valley Farmers’ Market provides a venue for marketing local products, crafts and products throughout the summer. Year-round opportunities for vendors were begun when CT acquired the montanafarmersmarket.com domain name in operation since 2003. In this 40^th anniversary year of the market, the organization has launched a revamp of the site and allowed current vendors a categorical listing through this market season. Vendors have the opportunity to add links and “splash pages” featuring their products with photos, etc.

Ron de Yong, director of the Department of Agriculture, says, “We get the biggest bang for our buck if we help consumers know about these local products…then consumers are encouraged to shop locally for Montana’s farm products, providing a big assist for our state’s economy and rural communities.”

Develobling Studios, a full service design and web creation firm, has provided the new design and set-up for the market site. Amy and Walter Graham, owners and designers, who both grew up in Belgrade and Big Sky, recently returned to Montana from Denver. They have been serving the non-profit, construction and retail web design needs for the past 18 years.

Plans in the future are to include vendors and other markets around the State of Montana. Related events can be added to the site’s calendar at no charge. For more information visit montanafarmersmarket.com or contact Career Transitions at 388-6701.
