Students who live in the Cottages at MSDB have access to experiences that facilitate academic and social-emotional growth. There are many after-school clubs and activities in which students may participate, including:
- Academic Bowl
- Cane Club
- Eagle Mount
- Expressions of Silence (EOS)
- Flying Hooves Club
- Jogging Jokers
- NAD
- Special Olympics
- Sports (at East Middle School, Great Falls High School, or Great Falls Central Catholic – depending on the sport)
- Student Council
- Visually Impaired Performers
Day students are welcomed to attend the Cottage program with permission from the Student Life Director until the after-school club or activities begin. Clubs operate on an as-requested basis.
Throughout the school year, there are special events and activities for residential students. The Student Life Program celebrates each student’s birthday by hosting a monthly birthday party. Each cottage plans their own special outings throughout the year. Other Student Life events include:
- Attending a University of Montana Griz Game – thanks to Griz Kids and the MSDB Foundation
- Special Labor Day and Memorial Day activities
- Annual Super Bowl party
- Weekend Lunchners – a special late lunch/early dinner
- Attending open captioned movies
- Student Council end of the year trip
- Student Council fundraiser dinners
- Formal dinners for Thanksgiving, Christmas/Winter, and Easter/Spring
- Cat/Griz game competitions
- So much more
