Malta Middle School Students Compete at Academic Olympics in Glasgow
Students from Malta Middle School participated in the Middle School Academic Olympics held April 9 in Glasgow. Eighty students from Glendive, Sidney, Fairview, Plentywood, Chinook, Malta, Glasgow, and Wolf Point competed in what was known as Class 1.
