(Kalispell) – Governor Greg Gianforte on Wednesday recognized Saint Matthew’s Catholic School’s Sister Judy Lund in Kalispell with his Spirit of Montana award for her 71 years as an educator.
For more than three decades, Sister Judy has served as an educator at Saint Matthew’s Catholic School, teaching science, literature, and scripture while also encouraging students to give back to their community. Each year, she inspires her students to support community organizations like Sparrow’s Nest of Northwest Montana, which provides housing and resources for homeless high school students.
Sister Judy’s lifelong commitment to serving others has made a lasting difference in the lives of countless families in the Flathead community,” Gov. Gianforte said. “Service, humility, and compassion are values that define Montana at its best, and Sister Judy has demonstrated each of them through her work at Saint Matthew’s Catholic School.”
The governor’s Spirit of Montana award recognizes Montanans for their accomplishments, dedication, or service.
