Links To Literacy
Book Giveaway
September 26, 2025

 

The Bozeman Schools Foundation proudly provides a book to every first grader, their teacher, and school librarian at the start of each school year.​ Early reading plays a powerful role in a child’s development, boosting comprehension, vocabulary, writing skills, and even emotional well-being. That’s why literacy remains a cornerstone of our mission: to ensure every child has the tools to grow, learn, and thrive.

​

In 2025, students received We Match, written by Chris Barton and illustrated by Sharon Glick.

Pack The Sack 
February 1 - 14, 2026

 

Hunger affects 1 in 5 elementary students in the Gallatin Valley. The Bozeman Schools Foundation partners with BSD7, families, local businesses, and the Gallatin Valley Food Bank to raise awareness and provide critical support through the KidsPack program.

For just $8, a donation supplies a student with three nutritious meals and snacks for the weekend. Last year, over 7,700 KidsPack bags were distributed, and school pantries were stocked to support middle and high school students throughout the week. Together, we’re working to ensure no child in our community goes hungry.
