Some more awesome middle school projects this week! The middle school Wood and Tech students also had a great opportunity to try out the Williams Academy virtual reality equipment trailer. Thank you to Williams and Mr. Shilf for making this possible.
Today the Three Forks Agriculture classes explored a wide variety of units and activities, including dairy (ice cream making), fire science (forest fire models), and livestock evaluation (sheep judging). It was a fun day!
Unfortunately, we have to make a change to the junior high football schedule. Originally, the game against Manhattan was set for Monday, September 22nd at 6:00 PM, but it has been moved to Tuesday, September 23rd at 4:30 PM.
Important notes:
The JV football game is still scheduled for Monday, September 22nd at 4:00 PM — only the Junior High game is being moved.
The change is due to us rescheduling a Varsity Volleyball home game to Monday, the 22nd, as part of Homecoming Week.
With both events originally set for the same evening, I was concerned about staffing challenges and making families choose between events.
Thanks for your understanding and flexibility! Please reach out if you have any questions or concerns.

Subject: Varsity Football Game Rescheduled
I received an email from Whitehall’s AD, and we need to move our varsity football game that was previously scheduled for Friday, September 12th, to Thursday, September 11th, @ 7:00 pm.
The change is due to a shortage of officials in the area. Whitehall reached out to the Helena, Butte, and Bozeman pools, but none were available to cover on Friday.
Thank you for your flexibility and understanding with this schedule change.

Jr. High Football Game Change – Boulder
I ran into a bit of a surprise with junior high football. I got an email from Arbiter saying our game @ Boulder, originally scheduled for Monday evening, was moved to Wednesday evening. I was never directly informed about the change, so I’m glad a few people caught it in their emails.
Turns out Boulder can’t host Monday because they’re finishing up their new track, and it needs two days without foot traffic.
The only complication is that Wednesday is church night, and we try not to schedule games then. That said, with both teams having full schedules, we’d likely have to cancel the game if we don’t play Wednesday. If this conflicts with youth group for you student they will NOT be punished for missing their game.
So the game is now scheduled for Wednesday, September 10th @ 7:00 pm.
Thanks
