A huge thank you to Emily Evans, a WIMU Veterinary Student, for taking time to come and talk to the Veterinary Science Class. Emily is former student of Montana State University, who is completing her first year of Vet School in Bozeman. Emily will then spend the next three years in the WIMU program in Pulman, Washington. We appreciate Emily coming in and talking to our Vet Science Students about what it is like being in Vet School, and what information she wished she knew going into Vet School. She covered opportunities, curriculum, and what the day-to-day life of a vet science student looks like. She also had time to do a quick lab and demonstrate how to give a neurologic exam on an animal. Then our students practiced on each other! Thank you, Emily Evans, for your time and insight!

The CTE Department is nearing completion of its first courtyard project! The ground was leveled, and stakes were cut off! Then gravel was poured and spread! We would like to offer a special thank you to Chris Lien of Three Forks Lumber & Ready Mix for donating and bringing over gravel for us today. This project is nearing completion! Great work by the students of Horticulture Science as well for putting in so much effort into this project!

Middle school track was canceled today 5/1 in Butte and unfortunately, I didn't see the email until today. I apologize for the poor communication on my end. The middle school track meet scheduled for tomorrow 5/2 @ Lone Peak has also been canceled. It hasn't been confirmed yet but it sounds like they will try and reschedule both meets the week of 5/13-5/17. I will keep coaches, students and parents informed when I get confirmation. Thanks

Big things are happening in the Agriculture Department! The first is a little bit of landscape design in the courtyards. Our Horticulture science class spent the week clearing ground and putting in forms for a concrete pad. This pad will then be encompassed by a building in the future and can be used for BBQs and other community events. Upon completion of the pad, the agriculture department will work to create raised beds and picnic tables for this courtyard. The students in this class did a great job and learned a lot of real-world skills. Food and Natural Resources got out in the sunshine the past few days to learn about range plants and rangeland management. Rounding out the week, Vet Science had the opportunity to work on handling, restraining, and physically examining a couple of silly goats. It has been a fun week!

Three Forks FFA is still as busy as ever! This week, our FFA members went down to the elementary to teach young students about the dairy industry! The elementary students got to make ice cream, make butter, and learn where other dairy products come from. Three Forks FFA did a great job presenting! Three Forks FFA was also invited to the Montana State University Department of Agricultural and Technology Education Awards Banquet this weekend. Our members got to network with MSU staff, pre-service teachers, and extension agents, and gain some service hours. The Three Forks FFA members were a fantastic representation of our great students and organization. They received high praise for their politeness, and their hard work in serving dinner, bussing tables, and stacking chairs when the night was over. Great job Three Forks FFA!

Three Forks FFA will be having their annual awards banquet on May 9th in the High School Cafeteria at 6:30 P.M. We invite all FFA members, their families, sponsors/supporters, coaches, teachers, and administrators to attend. Please RSVP with Mr. Noyes (tnoyes@threeforks.k12.mt.us) by Sunday (May 5th).
