The Tri-County Insider

JANUARY 21

To the Tri-County Community,

This is a busy month for the freshman class. Shop Selection Night was held on January 13. During this time, parents were informed about the different shops and were able to ask questions to the shop instructors. This event was very successful. The week of January 18 is the Class of 2019's last Exploratory. Students passed in their Shop Selections this morning and will be going through the shop selection process within the next few weeks.

After the number drafts, outlines and deadlines, the junior class handed in their final draft of their Senior Project papers, which were due the week of January 11. Seniors began their Senior Project presentations the week of January 11. The Medical Careers and Plumbing shops were the first to present. The Engineering and Metal Fabrication shops will present the week of January 25. I experienced my first day as an evaluator for Senior Projects last week and enjoyed the morning. The projects were fantastic.

Seniors are also in the process of voting for class superlatives, submitting senior quotes, and senior pictures. January 18 is the last week of the second quarter. Grade 9 and 11 students took their midterm exams the week of January 11. Grade 10 and 12 students took their midterm exams the week of January 18.

I would like to ask for your support for our Tee Off for Tri-County. This year's golf tournament will be held on Friday, June 10, at the Wentworth Hills Country Club in Plainville. Start time is 12 p.m. Those of us who attended last year, whether as a golfer or a go-for, had a great time. You can help by signing up to golf, sponsoring a hole or donating an item to our raffle. More information about participating can be found on the Tri-County website. ALL Golf Tournament proceeds benefit Student Activities. Thank you in advance for your help with the golf tournament.

Thanks for your support,
Mr. Procaccini
