Enjoy some more fun pictures from the Three Forks FFA Ag. Days!
A little learning outside of the classroom! The Three Forks Horticulture Class took a trip to do some landscaping, learned about tree planting, did a little farm work, and was a great bunch of workers!
The 3rd Annual Three Forks FFA Ag Days was a great success! We loved the opportunity to share about Agriculture in Gallatin County with our elementary students! We loved doing this event, and hope to do it again next year.

A very large THANK YOU to Mark Bassett and the Montana Masonic Foundation (MMF) for selecting Three Forks as the recipient of their annual grant program. "The Montana Masonic Foundation's (MMF's) Educational Grant Program is designed to provide teachers, student aides, and principals in Montana's public schools an opportunity to apply for a grant to assist under-funded programs in the following areas: Music, Drama, Science, and Library." The generous donation Mark hand-delivered will be used in further developing the outdoor learning spaces our PreK-12 campus has in an effort to boost scientific exploration as well as grown and landscape garden spaces for reading and class discussions/performances.
Attention parents of current 8th graders! The 8th-grade trip is scheduled for next Thursday, May 29th. If you have not signed the waivers for the Get Air and Steep World by then, your student will not be allowed to participate in those activities. Here is a link to the letter that should have been sent to you via Infinite Campus and should come home as a hard copy today. It has a nifty checklist to help plan the day. Thank you!

Elementary Field Day is scheduled for Thursday, May 29th with events kicking off at 12:05 that afternoon. We are bringing back one of the all-time favorite events, the sack race. However, we need some help. If anyone in the community has any quality potato sacks to donate or borrow to the school that would be amazing. 30-40 sacks would be super helpful.
If you have some bags that we could borrow, please drop them off at the elementary school office M-Th, from 8-4.
Thank you!
