Three Forks School District

Look! More awesome middle school wood projects!

Some really fun activities in the agriculture classes this week. We began our plumbing unit and learned about scoring wild game!

Three Forks FFA hit the ground running and had a great first day at the Ruby Valley Invitational!

Our Forestry Team took 4th place (2nd in the District)! Members of this team included Colton Schmitt (5th Place Individual), Rylee Smith (16th Place), Gracie White (34th Place), and Maddi Evans (43rd Place)!

Our Livestock Evaluation Team took 15th (5th in the District). Members of this team included Kortney Merritt (30th), Griffin Jensen (42nd), Kal Wubben (98th), Heidi Hutchison (103rd), Taylor Teske, Payten Vander Voort, Anna Tribble, Oakley Fallang, and Hunter Holland.

Both teams have qualified to compete at the 2026 Montana FFA State Convention! Great job, Three Forks FFA!

Can you make money at a lemonade stand? Recently, the Entrepreneurship students sure tried to as they navigated inventory management, supply and demand, variable weather conditions, quality control and more in a simulated game. To ease the stress, they sipped cold lemonade with their teammates.

We have to cancel our junior high football game scheduled for October 13th at Livingston. They recently hired a new Athletic Director, and due to some miscommunication during the transition, they ended up double-booking games for that date.

As a result, we won’t be rescheduling the game—after reviewing both of our schedules with their new AD, we couldn’t find a date that worked for both teams.

Who Has the Bigger Bite. Food Drive for Three Forks and Townsend food banks. Drop off sonations at the popcorn stand at the Three Forks volleyball and Football games this week during the homecoming games.

Three Forks FFA had a fantastic night at the District Leadership School in Belgrade! The District Leadership School focuses on leadership and personal development workshops for our FFA members. This one-day leadership conference is the kick-off to the new year each fall, and a chance for state officers and members alike to network with chapters in their region and develop team skills for the year ahead.

Three Forks FFA sent 16 members to DLS, and we are excited about the future of this year!

This week was filled with all sorts of fun activities in the agriculture department. We included fun, interactive lessons related to dairy product identification, livestock handling tools, extension cord repair, and vet tool identification. A huge thank you to Chuteside Vet for allowing us to look at real-world tools. We ended the week with a fun roping activity! An enjoyable, busy week, with more to come!

A few more middle school woods projects that got completed just before the weekend!

Reminder: We received the following notice that there will be another opportunity for tax credit donations to Montana districts coming up next week. If you are interested you can find more information at the provided link or call our Business Office @ 406-285-3224, Ext 125.
Beginning on September 23, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., a limited number of Public-School Districts (PSD) tax credits for tax year 2025 will become available on the Education Donations2 Portal.
These tax credits are available because some previously approved credits became invalid. A credit reservation can become invalid if a donation amount was recorded incorrectly, or a PSD returned a donation to a donor. These invalid credit amounts will be “put back” in the pool of available credits as of September 23, 2025.
As of September 17, 2025, there is $84,750 in PSD tax credits available for reservation. Visit the Education Donations2 Portal at https://svc.mt.gov/dor/educationdonation2/ for up-to-date information on the availability of tax credits.

No such thing as too many posts when showing off these amazing middle school wood projects!

The Three Forks Agriculture Program would like to offer a huge thank you to Shawn Crawford! Over the past few days, Mr. Crawford shared his knowledge and experience as a wild-land and structure firefighter with a variety of classes. He not only presented potential career options to our students, but gave them a hands on and visual presentation of just how important firefighters and first responders are in our community. Thank you Mr. Crawford for volunteering your knowledge and time! A huge thank you to Mr. Shilf for getting us equipment for the presentation!

Homecoming spirit days! (Please note that the elementary days have been edited from the previous post. Sorry about that. )

(ZOOM day is what people would wear to a Zoom meeting--professional on top, not professional on the bottom. )

Also, student section themes this week for volleyball are Neon tonight and Blackout on Thursday.

The Three Forks School Board will meet on Tuesday, September 16, 2025 @ 6:30 pm in the TFS Board Conference Room.
