Artist of the Week - Jonathan Schultz is a sophomore in 3D Art Class, section 2. Jonathan's clay sculpture measures an impressive 11" tall by 10" wide. Working this large and detailed is difficult. Johnathan did a great job with his design and craftsmanship. He glazed it well and we will be saving it for our art show in May. Johnathan is always a good student in art. He gives his best effort and works hard to create awesome pieces.
Congratulations to our Middle School students for donating the most toys to the Toy Drive!!
Tonight's (12/18) Girls JV Basketball game AT Port Edwards has been CANCELLED.
Today the students and staff at Tri-County enjoyed an early Christmas Lunch. The Food Services team started bright and early this morning making, frosting, and decorating donuts for breakfast. Then they prepared fresh sliced ham, cheesy potatoes made using fresh shredded local potatoes, stuffing, corn, dinner rolls, and dessert. A huge thank-you to our school board members, Wayne and Jim, for coming and helping serve our meal to the students. Merry Christmas from the Food Services team! 🎄🐧🎁
There is nothing more magical in 2nd Grade than The Polar Express, golden tickets, and ringing bells. Mrs. Detlor’s 2nd Grade class wrote about their one thing they wanted most for Christmas and why. Students shared, and the class asked questions. With golden tickets in hand, these excited kiddos then boarded the Polar Express, drank hot chocolate with marshmallows, ate chocolate chunk cookies, and listened to the book, The Polar Expess. Afterward, students rang their special bells from Santa in the elementary halls to see who truly believes. #magical #2ndgradeROCKS #polarexpress #TCproud ♥️🎅
🎄✨ A Day Full of Learning, Giving, and Fun! ✨🎄
On Monday, Ms. Graebel’s class went on a day adventure made possible by funds raised through the coffee shop proudly run by our Special Education students ☕👏
During the trip, students had the opportunity to shop for Christmas presents for their own families and also used additional coffee shop funds to purchase gifts that will be donated to families in the community ❤️🎁 While shopping, students practiced important life skills by learning how to budget their money and make thoughtful spending decisions.
The learning started well before the trip! In the days leading up, students worked together to calculate meal costs, figure out tax, learn what appropriate tipping looks like, and plan within a set budget. They also practiced real-life communication skills by making phone calls and sending emails to reserve a room and ask about group discounts 📞📧
After a well-earned lunch at Pizza Ranch 🍕, we headed back and wrapped up the day by learning how to wrap presents… which quickly taught us that patience is not everyone’s strength 😂🎀
A huge thank you to Pizza Ranch in Stevens Point for their generosity and for providing a group discount—we truly appreciate your support! 🙌
So proud of the teamwork, independence, problem-solving, and generosity shown by our students. What an amazing way to learn through real-world experiences! 🌟

Artist of the Week - Josh Snow is a 9th grade student in Fired Up Art Class . Josh did a great job on his metal piece. Josh designed his wolf head, sawed it out with a jeweler's saw, filed it, sanded it and then buffed it to create his final piece. Josh worked very hard on this wolf and the end result shows!

These young authors in Mrs. Detlor's 2nd Grade classroom celebrated finishing their personal narratives. They sat in small groups, taking turns sharing their narratives with each other. There were smiles and laughter as they had fun sharing their stories, illustrations, and cheering each other on. They put in a lot of hard work, and it shows in their final piece. Way to go, 2nd Graders! #2ndgradeROCKS #growingwriters #TCproud

Happy Thanksgiving from our littlest TC Penguins! Today's ExCEL play group was all about turkeys. We read "Turkey Trouble," went on a "Turkey Hunt," and did the "Turkey Hokey Pokey." The kids made their own turkey finger puppet, as well as a turkey-themed snack made from goldfish crackers and popcorn. Each family received a copy of the book we read and a set of animal finger puppets. Our next play group is scheduled for December 19th at 9 am. We hope to see you there!
