Thank you for reading this edition of the Big Flat Bulletin. As spring peeks around the corner, we hope you are enjoying the mild weather before work picks up full-speed on the Big Flat.

As the editors of the Big Flat Bulletin, we want to take this opportunity to congratulate our Lady Tornadoes Varsity Basketball team–one of whom is our intern journalist Bridget Reed–on their District Championship and subsequent trip to the Divisional Tournament in Great Falls this month. We opted to pause the initial launch of this newsletter in order to not overwhelm the THS senior. We are very proud of our Tornado teams whether they are on the winning side of the scoreboard or not. A District Championship, the first since the 1970s, is something to be especially proud of! Congrats to all the players and coaches!
