Three Forks School District

Congratulations to Three Forks FFA member, Kortney Merritt!

Over the last three days, Kortney has been at Montana State University attending a Bovine A.I. Class. She has spent the last three days learning:

- The basics of bovine reproduction.
- Heat detection and timing for success in cattle.
- Step-by-step AI technique.
- How AI improves herd genetics and calving ease.
- Boosting conception rates and herd performance.

Through this class, Kortney has successfully earned a Certificate of Completion for working 15 hours with cattle and A.I. Kortney will be using the skills she has learned in this class to help her grow and improve her own cattle herd, and will be used in her future career endeavors. Great job, Kortney!

Our games with Ennis needed to switch home and away because their coach has a science fair on February 2nd, so for her to do both, they requested the change. I apologize, I made this change a while back and didn't put it on the schedule.

Monday, January 12th, will now be a home game

February 2nd will now be @ Ennis

The Three Forks School Board Finance Committee will meet on Thursday, January 8, 2026 @ 8 am to review mid-cycle claims.

Attention parents of 6th graders that plan on registering for the ski trip! You have until 3 PM tomorrow (Tuesday Jan 6) to get registered. Reminder that all the register information is on "Rooms".

🐺🏀Little Wolves Basketball is underway! Excited to watch these kids grow, learn, and have fun this season! ⛹️‍♀️⛹️

8th grade ski registration is due by December 29, 3 PM!! That is when Bridger Bowl shuts down registration, so be sure to get it done if your child plans on going! At this point I only have 12 kids that have sent confirmation emails to me😬🤨.

The Three Forks FFA Wreath Silent Auction was a great success. All wreaths were bought for a range of $25 - $150. Combined with our raffle ticket sales for the table runner, generously donated by the Quilt 4 Fun group, this community supported the Three Forks FFA in raising almost $2,000.00! We are greatly appreciative of this supportive community, and we cannot thank you all enough! Thank you to all who donated and bought wreaths! Thank you all for supporting Three Forks FFA!

Merry Christmas!

We hope your Christmas break is filled with joy, laughter, and smiles, just like our amazing FFA crew! Merry Christmas and Happy Winter Break from the Three Forks FFA!

A fun meeting and Christmas cookie decorating!

Merry Christmas from the Three Forks FFA!

Some very cute little guests in Animal Science today! Two of Griffin Jensen's little piglets were brought in today, where our students were able to witness how baby pigs are ear-notched, tail clipped, and doctored!

Thank you, Griffin and Kaydence!

Attention 7th grade and High School PE classes!! Ski trip information will be sent out this afternoon regarding your upcoming trips! Be sure to check "rooms" for important information. 8th and 6th grades were already sent out yesterday.

A huge thank you to WyoTech for coming in today to talk to our Agriculture and Industrial Arts students about amazing career and educational opportunities!

We are still looking for Judges for January 17th! No experience needed! Thank you for your support!!

To continue our push for industry experiences at the Middle School level, Mrs. Felz and Mrs. Oehmcke have hosted two more Zoom meetings with industry professionals from across the United States as they work to develop, design, and build a cookbook. Aaron Murray in Marketing with Ken Cook and Madison Andropolis, a food photographer, pastry chef and published cookbook author, have visited with 55 middle students to introduce them to a variety of unique career pathways. We are grateful to the speakers, as well as the staff that have released kids to collaborate each week. The next industry rep to speak is Jenna Baker, a Senior Marketing Executive at Rodelle.

Santa’s Hat is in the final stages. Most presents have been wrapped and turned in. The supplies for food boxes have been purchased and sorted. Fourteen families and 27 children will be provided with holiday gifts and food thanks to the generosity of the Three Forks Community, Three Forks Market, Empire Arms, Town Pump Foundation, Travis Buttelman, Pat and Gene Townsend, Manhattan State Bank, Opportunity Bank and First Security Bank. Violet Donnelly has done a remarkable job coordinating the project this year. Thank you everyone for supporting this project and making the holidays happy and bright for so many.

We celebrated the classrooms from each school that gathered the most food during our pre-Thanksgiving food drive that Mrs. O's Marketing students organized. Regardless of which team we root for when casting those votes, the Headwaters Area Food Bank was the ultimate winner, happily accepting over 2400 pounds and nearly $240 that our students brought in. In the Elementary, Mrs. Perrin's Third Grade took top pound-count honors while Mrs. Lower's Sixth Grade pulled in the most weight for the Middle School. Mrs. Shippey's Freshmen, not picture, brought in the most in the high school. A student from each winning class was then drawn for a FREE 2025-2026 Yearbook. Thanks to all for participating.

Parents of 8th graders and 6th graders be on the lookout via "rooms" for very important Ski Trip information!
