Willow Creek, Montana (CNN)The children filed in, one by one, keeping their distance, to have their temperature taken at the door as Willow Creek School in Montana opened Thursday.
"They're incredibly excited. They are so glad to be back," said Erika Wahl, the mother of two students at the school, which has between 50 and 60 students in grades K-12. "They miss their teachers, they miss their friends."
While 48 states and Washington DC have ordered or recommended that schools close through the end of the academic year because of the coronavirus pandemic, schools in Montana and in Idaho opened this week, with only weeks to go until school is out for summer.
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock said last month that the state's schools may reopen as soon as May 7, although it's up to the local districts to do so.

The Government Indoctrination Camps should stay closed.
LOL-
I thought the same exact words.
Yeah surprise surrpise that they end up being the first things open. *EYEROLL*
One little school in Montana?
CNN has a story about one little school?
A little schoolhouse on the prairie.
Like the one Clint Eastwood and Jeff Bridges went to to pry out the take from a robbery in “Thunder and Lightfoot.”
60 students in 12 grades?
Bet this school is as far from an indoctrination center as can be found
Love that movie! (ThunderBOLT and Lightfoot).
And as you can tell from that movie - most folks in Montana are already isolated. They have one of the fewest numbers of deaths in America due to Covid-19. Probably on a per capita basis as well.
I didn’t know if it was Montana, or Wyoming, but it sure seemed like “High Plains” territory!
I wonder how the dental floss crop has been affected by CV. If it doesn’t get raised up and waxed down at the right time, it’s much harder to grow.
About two weeks to go for the school year....why open now?
Why open now?
For the mental state of the children, and the parents.
These are small schools in areas with few cases. Why stay closed?
Since the target was "Montana Armored" I'm guessing Montana?
Maybe a return to normalcy.
I forgot that detail.
But, I do remember the look on George Kennedy’s character when he meets the Dobermans.
At least to defy the overlords.
They’d do better to call is quits this year. The year is nearly over so why take the risk?
There is a lot a teacher can teach in a month. Because people need interaction.
Because people need to get back to work.
Because God is good and they are trusting in their good God.
For quite awhile after seeing that movie I would leave my car door open and drive off, with the motion of the car slamming the door shut. Still do that if I left the passenger door open!
