National Honor Society, with the help of the PAC, rocked the Elementary Valentine Dance Friday!! Crazy socks boogied to the beat and learned a thing or two from our NHS Line Dancers. Thanks to all that attended as you helped raise funds for student scholarships.

Following the Senior Night recognition from Thursday, we thanked two of our local photographers who have generously donated hundreds of pictures to our yearbook team, to families and to the Wolf community. Trisha Jones and Jackie Currey found themselves surrounded by student-athletes from spring, winter and fall sports who were all in attendance to express their gratitude with a gift presentation and the following words: "On behalf of the entire community of students, parents, staff, yearbook team and school here at Three Forks, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution of capturing and sharing images of our student athletes. Your photographs not only highlight the dedication and hard work of our students but also strengthen the bond between staff, students, and parents. Your talent and commitment have provided us with lasting memories that families and students will cherish for years to come. Your kindness and talent are deeply appreciated by all of us. From the Wolf Pack, we all thank you for your invaluable support."
