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.
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!!!

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!
Last build day for the construction trades career exploration experience
