COLUMBIA FALLS - It’s hard to believe, but school is officially back in session this week for a number of school districts in Western Montana.

Tuesday was the first day for Deer Park School in Columbia Falls.

“It’s emotional, but Deer Park is a really great school, so super happy to have them here,” said Deer Park School mother Mercedes Wiebelhaus.

Wiebelhaus had a busy morning dropping off her sixth grade student, Paisley and first grade student, Charley.

“Yeah, she likes to get all done up and lunch boxes, you know, the night before and we did make some muffins to have some nice snacks this week,” added Wiebelhaus.
