Happy Teacher Appreciation Day, Tri County! 💙💛

Our teachers wear many hats each and every day, educators, coaches, mentors, encouragers, and trusted confidants. They show up not just to teach lessons, but to build relationships, inspire growth, and make a lasting impact on the lives of our students.

We are incredibly grateful for the way they pour into our kids, celebrating their successes, supporting them through challenges, and helping shape who they are becoming.

Save the Date: FFA Banquet May 7th

Nothing gets middle school and high school students more excited than a little friendly competition… especially when it involves a giant container of “bookworms” (aka gummy worms)!

Congratulations to Brendan Thimm for an exact guess of 204—we were all impressed! Way to go!

Tonight is the Night!

Seas the Day… and Read! Celebrating School Library Month!

We had an o-fish-ally amazing time celebrating School Library Month all April long in our elementary library!

From our Guess the Pixelated Book Cover classroom challenge, to bookmark giveaways, to our “Book Worm” guessing contest (how many gummy worms were in the container?! ), we had 4 students tie, each just ONE guess away from the exact number!

This marked our second year of a full library transformation, and this year’s theme was “Seas the Day… Read!” Students were SO excited this past Monday morning when they walked in to see the surprise beach-themed library come to life!

It was a month full of reading, creativity, and joy, and the smiles said it all.

🍎🥗 Happy School Lunch Hero Day! 🥗🍎
Today we celebrate the amazing Tri County cafeteria staff who serve up nutritious meals with a smile every single day. Your hard work, care, and dedication fuel our students’ minds and bodies, and we couldn’t do it without you. Thank you for being true heroes in our schools!

Congratulations to four of our girls basketball players on earning all state awards. Seniors, Brooke Morgan and Isabelle Peters, and Freshmen, Rylan Beerenstrauch and Claire Schnuelle were awarded Honorable Mention All State for the Omaha World Herald!

🏈 From 11-man to 8-man football… some things had to change, but not without honoring the past.

When our original goal posts, built by Otto Wollenburg, came down, a piece of Tri County history could have been lost. Instead, thanks to the vision of our Head of Maintenance, Kevin Weichel, that history lives on in a powerful new way.

When asked to stand in front of the sculptures for a photo, Kevin humbly said no, it was never about him. It was about Otto. So instead, we gathered Otto’s descendants who now walk the halls of Tri County… a full circle moment you won’t want to miss. 💙💛 click here to read the full article https://www.tricountyschools.org/article/2853501
