Tri-County Area School District

Around the World in 80 Trays is a statewide event with the purpose of increasing global flavors in USDA School Meals Programs! DPI would like to acknowledge that food can do more than just nourish the body, but it can offer an invitation to explore the diverse cultures of Wisconsin students. Students at Tri-County had the opportunity to participate in this promotion January 19-22. The Food Services Team took the staff and students around the world and gave them the opportunity to try different foods. Monday we visited Hawaii and enjoyed Loco Moco with Hawaiian pasta salad. Tuesday we visited Mexico and had the chance to try chicken al pastor tacos, rice, corn dip/chips, fresh pico, and churros. Wednesday found us in Cuba where we enjoyed Cuban sandwiches made with fresh roasted pork served with black beans, and chips. Thursday we wrapped up our travels in Germany where the students had Bavarian meatball sandwiches, german potato salad, and Black Forest cake. We hope everyone enjoyed this experience and the chance to enjoy new foods.

The MS Spelling Bee will be January 27th at 1pm and anyone interested should sign
up in the 6-12 Student Services Office with Ms. Schwartzman and grab a word packet to study.

*** ATTENTION***
TC Fitness Center will be closed Friday, January 23 through Sunday, January 25, 2026 due to the extreme cold weather. Thank you for your understanding ~Jody Congdon

Our high school STEAM class recently had the opportunity to visit both the EAA Museum and the Fox Valley Technical College Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center. At the EAA Museum, students explored the exhibits and gained hands-on experience using the flight simulators. They also toured the Advanced Manufacturing Technology Center, where they spoke with an instructor and learned about real-world applications and career pathways in advanced manufacturing.

Thank you to the EAA Museum for welcoming our students and to Fox Valley Technical College for taking the time to provide such an informative and engaging tour. These experiences are invaluable in helping our students connect classroom learning to future career opportunities.
