Tri County Celebrates 3rd Annual Bookmark Design Contest

One of our favorite Read Across America traditions returned again this year with Tri County’s 3rd Annual Bookmark Design Contest. This contest has quickly become a student favorite, and many students look forward to the opportunity to showcase their creativity while celebrating reading.

Students from each grade level submitted original bookmark designs, and winners were selected from four divisions. This year’s winners are:

PK/K: Sadie Kalin
1st/2nd: Kelsey Hurd
3rd/4th: Tie — William Marshall and two-time winner Lane Roberts
5th/6th: Teran Koch

One of the most exciting parts of the contest is seeing the winning designs professionally printed and used as official Tri County library bookmarks. Our students love receiving them when they check out books, making the experience even more special.

Congratulations to this year’s winners and thank you to all of our students who participated!

During the month of February the fifth graders took part in a special Heart Activity focused on kindness and positive words. Each student received a large paper heart with their name at the top. Then, they rotated from heart to heart, writing uplifting phrases that described each of their classmates. The room was filled with thoughtful compliments, encouraging words, and lots of smiles as students celebrated what makes each person unique. It was a wonderful way to practice positive writing while building a supportive classroom community.

Our boys face off against Bergan Catholic tonight at 7pm. Come early, bring the energy, and pack the gym, Trojan Nation! #tcpride
