FEBRUARY 26

To the Tri-County Community,

It's a busy time of year for the Guidance Department. Freshmen, sophomore, and junior students have selected classes for next year and Guidance is busy processing the requests. Our counselors are also out interviewing our applicants for next year's freshmen class at the local middle schools.

Some of our students have been busy preparing and competing in specialized competitions:

The First Robotics team is building this year's entry and will compete later on this month. Many students competed at SkillsUSA District competitions Thursday at Southeastern RVTHS in Easton.

The 2016 Culinary Arts Pro-start teams competed this past Monday and earned bronze medals.
The Culinary team consisted of: Rob Jackson, Justin Chapman, Hannah Ruff and Julia Ohlson.
The management team consisted of Colleen Kinney and Miranda Way.

Winter Sports are winding down with four teams competing at the state level:

Girls Varsity Basketball captured the league title for the second year in a row and finished their regular season at 18-2. They will find out today who they will be playing in the MIAA State Tournament.

Ice Hockey completed their regular season yesterday with a 7-1 victory, which qualified them for the MIAA State Tournament for the third-straight year. The team will find out Saturday who and where they will be playing.

The Wrestling team continues their outstanding season this weekend as four of our wrestlers will be competing at All-States at Reading High School. The team finished with 9 League All-Stars, a Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year.

The Varsity Cheerleading team captured the State Vocational crown with their outstanding performance this past Sunday at the State Vocational Championships held at Tri-County. The team will be competing at State Regionals on Sunday, March 6, at Marshfield High School.

Spring Sports Signups will be held on Thursday, March 10, and spring practices begin on Monday March 21.

Thanks again for your support,
Mr. Procaccini
