WHO WE ARE

Hi, I'm Mikey Andersen. I'm an eighth grader at Sacajawea Middle School. One day, I realized how few people were going to get to see their relatives this holiday season, including me. I started to think about ways to become more connected as a community, and maybe even grow closer. That is when I had the idea for the Montana Share Our Stories Holiday Campaign. I reached out to other kids in the local area, including the students at my school, to help make this idea a reality. The Sacajawea Student Council, Parent Advisory Council 501c3, and local businesses have helped me turn it into a school initiative, and get the word out about the campaign to everyone. Thanks to all who take part!

The Sacajawea Middle School Parent Advisory Council is a 501c3 partnered with the Share Our Stories Holiday Campaign

COMMUNITY PARTNERS

Strengthening community is at the heart of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana. We strongly believe that connecting with others through the written word is a great way to foster togetherness when physical distancing and other precautions in the fight against COVID-19 keep us apart during the holidays to ensure the health of our family, friends and neighbors. We applaud the "Sharing Our Stories Holiday Campaign" and are confident its work will help build a more resilient and more hopeful community.
