Hat Day Tomorrow – Thursday, 11/20

Tomorrow we’re coming together as a school community to support one of our staff members who experienced the loss of a spouse this week. Students and staff are invited to participate in Hat Day as a way to show care and solidarity.

To join in, please bring your donation to the elementary, middle, or high school office. You’ll receive your stamp there, which allows you to wear your hat for the day.

Wolves hats are highly encouraged as we gear up for the big game this weekend.

Ready for the holidays. Santa’s Hat is underway. trees with gift tags can be found at the following locations. Manhattan Bank, Three Forks Branch, Opportunity Bank and First Security Bank in Three Forks. Each tag has information about a child from Three Forks who has been nominated for the Santa’s Hat Project.

Thank you to Braaten Sho Pigs for an awesome clinic today and helping to prepare our livestock team for the Sweet Grass Showdown!

Forty four of our middle school students participated in the first of several industry-led Zoom calls this week. Amelia Doll, a Technical Writer and Product Safety Communications Specialist with the Bobcat Company (headquartered in North Dakota), took the time to discuss the winding routes our jobs take us on. She emphasized the importance of being flexible, open-minded, adaptable and willing too try hard things. Her message also encouraged the students to pay attention to detail, appreciate constructive feedback and to work hard.

The series, led by Mrs. Felz, is part of a Career Connections Project is aimed at introducing middle school students to a variety of unique career pathways in jobs that looked very differently, or didn't even exist, several years ago. The focus of this project falls within the food industry while students work together to publish a cookbook with guidance from industry professionals. Mrs. Oehmcke's students will assist in the layout, design and development of the book while all students are exposed to the opportunities in the multitude of professions it takes to pull something like this together.

If you'd like to contribute to Mrs. Felz's Donors Choose project that supports this cross-curricular lesson, it's very appreciated! The link can be found here: https://www.donorschoose.org/project/kids-can-cook-cookbook-project/9677754/

Our 7th Grade Tech students recently covered a unit in budgeting with Google Sheets. To wrap things up, the kids also learned how to correctly count back change. This lesson is covered in nearly every Middle and High School class Mrs. O teaches each year. The cash drawers with funny money were funded with grant dollars the Three Forks Education Foundation provided several years ago.

Three Forks FFA had a great day partnering with Broadwater FFA to help put on their Outdoor Safety Day! In addition to helping with workshops, we stopped to have a livestock practice, visited a local farm to learn about Hay Montana, and helped clean up the workshops when we finished. We had a ton of fun!!!

Finishing details for the State Championship Football game tomorrow. Please see attachments for details.

The results are in and the Marketing students can not thank you enough. Three Forks Schools contributed 2435.9 pounds of food and $239.00 (which Town Pump doubles!) to the shelves of the Headwaters Area Food Bank! Hauling the multitude of loads was made easier with the grant money received from the Allstate Foundation for the purchase of a heavy-duty green wagon and scale. Our community really stepped up, as 2025 proved to be our largest collection year yet!
