ACES WELCOMES GOVERNOR BULLOCK!!
Bigfork ACES welcomed Governor Steve Bullock last Tuesday for our "Lights On Afterschool" Celebration. Governor Bullock talked to the kids about the importance of having a safe and fun place to go afterschool where they can be fed and helped with homework. His own kids attended afterschool programs and he supports them 100%.

ACES students had a great day hosting the Governor along with making their own bouncy balls, decorating sugar cookies and playing Yahtzee with our huge lawn dice.

Did you know?

  • In Montana, 1 out of every 5 applications for 21st Century Community Learning Centers cannot be funded, leaving communities without the supports they need for children and youth in the hours after school and during the summer.

  • Afterschool provides a solid return on investment. Research shows that every $1 invested in afterschool programs saves at least $3 by: ✓ Increasing kids’ earning potential ✓ Improving kids’ performance at school ✓ Reducing crime and juvenile delinquency.

  • STEM jobs are among the fastest-growing and highestpaying jobs in America. In Montana, 63% of parents report that their kids have STEM learning opportunities in their afterschool program and 67% agree that afterschool programs can help children gain STEM-related interests and skills. 

Thank you to everyone who supports Bigfork ACES. We are now in our 6th year and going strong!
