Ms. LaPorte's 6th grade students did a project in Math figuring out Volume and Surface Area for rectangular prisms. Their job was to create an animal out of rectangular prisms, figure out the total volume and surface area. They came up with some great ideas!

Each spring Tri-County participates in the National Language Arts League Test nationwide. This test includes questions on reading comprehension, spelling, grammar, etc. The top ten individuals in each grade level who scored well on the test received a NLAL/Olympiad Certificate at the 9-12 Awards Ceremony in May. The top students in each grade level also received a medal.
Nationally the contest had twenty-four schools participate in the NLAL grade 9 contest and twenty-nine schools in the grades 10-12 contest. Our very own Grade 9 Team and Grade 10-12 Team 1 is also a third place national winner, and our Grade 10-12 Team 2 is a second place national winner. Junior Belle Luecking was fifth in the nation, and received another medal.
Ms. Gildenzoph and Ms. Woyak would like to congratulate everyone on their hard work! We can't wait to see how well you do next year! Congratulations again!

Today’s lunch menu at Tri-County featured everyone's favorite - Nachos! Seasoned beef taco meat, crispy tortilla chips, sour cream, and warm nacho cheese sauce. Delicious just as it is! Our Middle School and High School students also had the opportunity to customize their nachos with additional toppings, including fresh, homemade pico de gallo prepared right in our kitchen.
A few weeks ago, there were rumors circulating about our salad and garden bars being reduced due to rising food costs. While there was some truth to that, our fresh fruit and vegetable offerings never disappeared.
To help manage rapidly increasing food costs, we temporarily adjusted our offerings. Instead of providing multiple fruit and vegetable choices (usually 3-4 vegetables & 2-3 fruits) each day, we reduced that to 1-2 choices of each. Our build-your-own salad bar was also temporarily replaced with pre-made salads to help control portions and costs.
This year has brought significant increases in produce prices, with tomatoes increasing nearly 40% and lettuce close behind at approximately 30%. Fortunately, these changes to our salad & garden bars lasted less than a week. During that time, we worked hard to identify additional suppliers and new sources for fresh produce.
The result? Our salad and garden bars are back to their normal wide selection of fresh fruits and vegetables!
Today’s beautiful tomatoes served with our nachos were sourced locally from Flyte Family Farms, and we are excited to continue expanding partnerships with local growers whenever possible. Supporting local agriculture while providing fresh, high-quality foods to our students is a win for everyone.
We will continue searching for local growers and producers interested in partnering with Tri-County. If you or someone you know would like to work with us during the upcoming school year, please reach out to the Food Services Department.
Thank you for your continued support as we work to provide nutritious, fresh, and appealing meals for the students of Tri-County Schools! ❤️🖤🤍🐧

Band Parents and Students,
Mr. Kozak is again holding summer band lessons that will coincide with summer school. No, you do not need to be in summer school to take lessons. Lessons will be half an hour long, and you can have as many as you want. This is a great time to learn a new instrument, further your current playing ability, or catch up on things you may have missed. Please fill out the attached Google form indicating when you would like your lesson during the week. Lesson times are on a first-come, first-served basis. Please have this filled out by June 4th
Tonight is the last middle school softball game. Great job to all the players, coaches, officials and parents for a wonderful season!

Our STEAM 2 students wrapped up their Wilderness Survival Skills Unit by taking on a variety of hands-on challenges out at the school forest. Students demonstrated teamwork, problem-solving, and outdoor survival skills while completing activities such as orienteering to different locations throughout the forest, creating water filtration and purification systems, building shelter areas, and safely starting a fire to cook their lunch.
All of the students did an amazing job stepping outside of their comfort zones and successfully completing each task. It was great to see their hard work, creativity, and perseverance throughout the experience.
A big thank you goes out to Mr. Raboin and the Environmental Education counselors for helping make this opportunity possible and for assisting our students throughout the day!

After completing their AP Chemistry tests, our students took on two additional hands-on challenges: creating a working volcano and partnering with our kindergarten classes to share fun chemistry demonstrations.
A special thank you to Miss Bahr, Miss Holland, and Mrs. Kemnetz’s classes for coming down and joining in the fun and excitement of science!
**Sorry, the volcano pictures are so grainy. We only got videos, and they aren't uploading:)

We had our last TC play group of the school year and celebrated all things ocean! After playing, we read about ocean creatures and did the "Ocean Jam!" Many of us are probably still humming the tune of "Baby Shark...doo doo doo doo doo doo!" 😁 The kids had fun making ocean scenes with their art projects AND snacks today. It was another great year of fun and learning for our TC play group. Thank you to all the families who showed up. Stay tuned for next year's play group dates!

TC Pride students have a few more staff name boards ready for outside of their area here at school. Students did a great job! Mr. Delikowski was started last year by Allayna Perez and finished by Leo Samayo. Mrs. Knutson got married and needed a name update, which Mia Flores-Zdroik took care of. She also added some highlights to her art teacher's board to make it more "artsy". And Annalie Mata did a great job for our 4K teacher Mr. Thao.
