This Montana Location is the "Best Place to Work" in the U.S.

"Place to work" is a broad category encompassing everything from Google and Microsoft, to candy factories and National Parks, yet somehow, a little Montana workspace managed to take the number one spot in this year’s Outside Magazine rankings http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/best-jobs/best-places-to-work-2014/Mindbody.html .

Surprisingly, Outside’s "Best Place to Work" http://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/best-jobs/best-places-to-work-2014/Mindbody.html award for 2014 didn’t go to an outdoor company, or a park service, or even ski hill, it went to a tiny elementary school http://www.sleonline.org/ just north of Missoula with only 29 employees.

Like any public school, Seeley Lake Elementary teaches basic academics to kids from pre-K through eighth grade. Unlike most, it practically requires them to get outside with active programs in Nordic skiing, hiking, biking, and canoeing. The school, just an hour from Missoula, is flanked by the peaks of the Rockies and bolstered by a lakeside alternative campus, so it’s not hard for staff to instill a love of the wilderness in their students.
