✨ We’re excited to launch the GPS Angel Fund, a program that ensures no student goes without lunch due to temporary financial hardship.
If you’d like to help a child in our district, you can now donate directly to the fund. Your generosity fills both stomachs and hearts. ❤️

Glendive Public Schools is part of the Friends of Reynolds Program, making it easy to give back—at no extra cost to you!
🛒 How it works:

❤️ How the funds are used:
Donations help support a positive culture across our district—such as food for events, small incentives, and other ways to celebrate the great things happening at GPS.
✨ Participation is optional, but if you already shop at Reynolds, it’s an easy way to support our schools.
Thank you for supporting our students and staff! ❤️❤️

What is it?
The Innovative Educational Program (IEP) Tax Credit lets Montana taxpayers redirect part of their state income tax dollars directly to the public school district of their choice to support innovative educational programs — and get a dollar-for-dollar credit on their 2026 Montana taxes for the amount donated (up to $200,000)
The portal for the 2026 donations opened at 10:00 AM on January 21 and all funds available statewide were claimed in a little over 7 minutes. For 2026, the total aggregate amount of available IEP tax credits was $7,200,000 statewide. The program is closed for 2026, but will open up again next January.
