What a great first week! It has been so wonderful having all the voices, laughter, giggles, and learning filling our building. What an amazing way to kick off the school year!

Please check your email for the full biweekly newsletter for updates and information from around Russell.

As always, please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or even celebrations to share. I love hearing from our Russell community!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Several of our amazing Missoula community partners have come together once again to support MCPS students! ❤️

Altruist, Frolic, and other local stylists have graciously donated their time and talents to provide hair services for students at Franklin and TEACH before the 2026–2027 school year.

They had more stylists show up than anticipated, so this generous offer is now being extended to Russell families! 🎉

Walk-ins are welcome and will be available until 1:00 PM TODAY at Franklin Elementary.

A huge thank-you to these incredible community partners for their kindness, generosity, and care for our students and families and to Franklin Elementary for their community support. We are so grateful for a community that continues to show up for our kids!
