🇺🇸 Veterans Day Program at Tri County 🇺🇸
This morning, our school community came together to honor and celebrate our nation’s veterans. We were proud to welcome the Swanton American Legion Post for the presentation of colors, followed by a beautiful performance of the National Anthem by the Senior High Choir. Mr. Clark shared opening remarks, and Mrs. Katz presented a meaningful program about America’s White Table.
Special music was provided by the High School Choir and our 3rd-grade students, whose voices filled the gym with pride and gratitude. We were honored to welcome TC alumnus Command Sergeant Major Alan Rosenthal, who shared his story and words of inspiration.
The program concluded with a favorite tradition — the High School Band’s performance of the Armed Forces Songs, giving veterans in attendance the chance to stand and be recognized, followed by the retiring of the colors.
Thank you to all who helped make this a memorable morning of honor and reflection. 🇺🇸

Gymnasium Improvements – Proposed in the Bond
The proposed bond includes updates that support both student athletics and family time.
🔹 A new primary competition gym would be built while keeping the existing gym, adding more seating, ADA access, and improved functionality for PE classes and activities.
🔹 More space means more flexibility, allowing for concurrent after-school practices so students can finish earlier and enjoy more time with family.
This investment supports wellness, teamwork, and balance—on and off the court.

Our first graders have been diving into all things pumpkins! From learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin to identifying its parts inside and out, they’ve had hands-on fun exploring science this fall. Their learning came to life with a trip to Roca Berry Farms, where they saw pumpkin plants up close, picked their own pumpkins, and enjoyed a day full of fall fun and laughter.
