Artist of the Week - Kailey Miller is a junior in 2D Art Class Section 3. This is Kailey's first time painting with ink and she did a fantastic job! Her use of color, blending and composition make us long for the warmer days ahead! Kailey is a fantastic art and we are very excited to see all the art she will create this semester.

Two years ago, TC FBLA didn't exist. Today, we have 35 active members, and we just finished the regional competition this past Saturday at Loyal High School. 14 of our members finished in the top 3 of their academic competitive event, and will therefore head to the state FBLA competition on Monday and Tuesday, April 13 and 14 in Green Bay. Congratulations to Mr. Travis Zellmer and his FBLA members!

Our kids competed against over 650 students in our regional, from 31 different high schools. This included 5 Division 1 schools (SPASH, Rhinelander, Marshfield, DC Everest, Rapids Lincoln) as FBLA competes geographically, and not by school enrollment. Please congratulate the following students who are advancing:
Kyu Yang, Business Ethics, 3rd place
Josey Boyd, Intro to FBLA, 2nd place
Kelsey Flyte, Intro to Parliamentary Procedure, 1st place

Busy couple of weeks in the Food Service Department at Tri-County. Scratch made Hot Pockets made with pizza dough stuffed with white meat chicken, bacon, ranch, & cheese or ham & cheese. Fruit smoothies in a variety of flavors made with low fat yogurt, milk, and fruit such as strawberries, bananas, blueberries, mangoes, pineapple, & cherries. Buttermilk biscuits and creamy sausage gravy. Hand tied garlic knots that paired perfectly with our spaghetti and meatballs. This is just a glimpse into some of the menu items we create for the students of Tri-County. This week also featured scratch made hamburger vegetable soup & burrito bowls with all of the fresh fixings. We pride ourselves in scratch cooking as many items as we are able to for the students and using fresh local ingredients when available.

🌲☀️ A Perfect Day in the School Forest! ☀️🌲

Yesterday, Ms. Graebel, Mrs. Beggs, and Mrs. Dean had the opportunity to take our students out to the school forest for an amazing day planned by Mr. Raboin and our EE students. It was a day full of learning, teamwork, and fun!

Students enjoyed hiking the trails, playing games like volleyball, bags, and a giant-sized four of a kind, and spending quality time together outdoors. One of the highlights was preparing food over the fire. We made everything from easy favorites like hot dogs and pudgy pies to more challenging meals such as steak skewers and burritos. Some students even premade items like bacon and homemade chips, yum!

This experience went far beyond the forest. Students planned the meals, budgeted for nearly 60 people, and even went grocery shopping themselves. Along the way, they learned valuable real-life lessons, including that sometimes it’s perfectly okay to buy off-brand to save a little money 😉.

The weather worked in our favor, the students were engaged and hardworking, and everyone had a great time applying real-world skills in an unforgettable way. Thank you to everyone who helped make today such a success! 🌭🔥🍂
