Happy Holidays Everyone!
We apologize for that late notice but with a crazy couple of weeks, technology backfires, and a new Ag. Teacher still figuring things out in this awesome, new program, this message is coming a lot later than needed.
However, Three Forks FFA is accepting completed Christmas wreath donations for the Christmas Stroll! Donations can be dropped off Monday through Thursday (8:15 - 4:00 P.M.) at Tanya R. Gonzaley's office. The address is 215 Main St., Three Forks, MT 59752.
Again, we apologize for the late notice, but we would greatly appreciate any wreath donations and look forward to carrying on this annual tradition! Have a great day and reach out with any questions.
Manhattan Bank, Main Street Office, Be Lazy Quilting and Legacy Trading are selling the Three Forks Chamber of Commerce's December 1, 2023 Christmas Stroll buttons on behalf of the Three Forks FCCLA chapter. Students use the funds raised for the 'Sub for Santa' project to purchase food/gift basket items for families needing a little boost. Stop by one of these locations or Three Forks High School to get a commemorative button that doubles as an ornament. Contact cfelz@threeforks.k12.mt.us with questions.
Raffle tickets are on sale now at Legacy Trading and Stageline Pizza for the Three Forks Education Foundation's Winter Raffle. Folks can also find the TF Education Foundation in front of Legacy Trading during the December 1 Christmas Stroll. Prizes include a beautiful quilt, gift baskets and student-created merchandise, art and baked goods. There will also be various items available for sale.
Mark your calendars for the Elementary Trimester 1 Awards Assembly. Folks should plan on checking in to the school and coming to the Main Gym on Tuesday, December 5 at 9:00.
