Wolves Football Game Tomorrow! 🏈
I wanted to remind everyone that the Three Forks Wolves varsity football team has a game tomorrow night, Thursday, September 10, against Whitehall.
We had to move the game from Friday to Thursday to help the Bozeman officials cover all of the games in the valley this Friday, as several area schools have home games.
Come out and support the Wolves tomorrow night! Go Wolves!

Wild animals need 5 things to have a sustainable habitat:
1. Water
2. Food
3. Shelter
4. Space
5. Proper arrangement of all items
Wildlife and Recreation had a great time making proper "environments" for their wildlife animal, the grizzly (cinnamon) bear. Check out these awesome models containing all 5 elements.
Pictures are all that remain, as the creators of the models then ate them! Fun times in Agriculture!

The first three weeks of school have been very busy for the Three Forks Agriculture Department!
They've jumped into wiring circuits in Agricultural Mechanics and learned the basics of parliamentary procedure in Principles of Agriculture. Those skills were then used in a series of mock meetings to get a lot of business accomplished, including making a trail mix.
Wildlife and Recreation has been spending a lot of time outside, taking the time to learn how to identify different range grasses and forbs, as well as exploring and analyzing animal habitat.
Animal Science has been learning about livestock judging and will be putting their skills to the test very soon!
A lot of fun is happening in the Agriculture Classroom this year!
