Yesterday 2/27/25 was National Chili Day and the students & staff at Tri-County participated in the Wisconsin Chili Lunch. The annual Wisconsin Chili Lunch (WCL) supports local food purchasing by encouraging cafeterias to serve a chili dish made with local ingredients. On National Chili Day, cafeterias around the state participated in the WCL by preparing local chili and celebrating Wisconsin farmers. The goal of the WCL is to create strong connections between Wisconsin farmers and eaters and demonstrates how cafeterias can serve Wisconsin grown ingredients- even in winter. This statewide chili lunch event inspires nutritious school meals and supports farm to institution initiatives throughout the state, and encourages year-round purchases of local foods. Serving locally and regionally grown ingredients in our cafeteria makes quality meals, supports local economies, and connects people to the people and places that grow their food. #WIChiliLunch #WIF2S #ShowUsYourSpoonful #F2SChili
Today's TC play group was all about being silly! We learned that you don't need pictures to enjoy a good book---even at a young age! We read "The Book With No Pictures," and the kids received their own copy, along with a magnetic alphabet set. The children each decorated the first letter in their name and enjoyed alphabet cookies, along with cupcakes compliments of Ally, who turned 4! We danced to Dr. Jean's "Tooty Ta" and "Banana Dance," and we acted out the alphabet too. Lots of laughs today! Please join us on March 28th at 9:00 for our next play group.
Shout out to the TC Staff! Staff annually competes in floor hockey against the winning student class during Winterfest. It is a tough, physical competition and so much fun to watch. Staff defeated the Junior class and are the grand champions!

Jackie Franks is a 7th grade student in Art. Jackie's assignment was to create a monster sculpture out of clay. Jackie's monster is both creative and unique. She used good craftsmanship when sculpting and working with the clay. She glazed her creature a bold color and enhanced it by adding buttons and feathers. Jackie's sculpture measures 8" tall by 6" wide and will be in our yearly art show in May.
Exploring Future Paths: A Day of ACT Prep and Elective Exploration
Our 11th graders took on the challenge of their practice ACT, while the 8th to 10th graders rotated through six exciting stations, learning all about the various electives available at the high school level.
Our awesome seniors took the spotlight as experts, sharing their experiences and offering valuable advice on which classes and opportunities underclassmen should consider for next year. It was a great way for everyone to gain insights into the paths ahead!
The morning wrapped up with crucial information on scheduling classes for the upcoming year. A huge thank you to Mrs. Krystowiak and Mr. Kozak for organizing such an engaging and informative event!
Plainfield Little League
Our High School Plant Science Class is having a blast teaming up with our 4th graders to plant potatoes as part of the Kids Dig Wisconsin Potatoes Campaign! This hands-on experience is all about connecting students to the Wisconsin Potato Industry helping them learn exactly where their food comes from and allowing them to watch their efforts grow right in their classrooms. 🥔 🌱
We’re excited to see how the potatoes will flourish, and can't wait to continue learning throughout the process. Special thanks to the Wisconsin Potato Growers Auxiliary for supplying the seed potatoes, and donation to offset the cost of supplies. Stay tuned for updates on our potato-growing journey!

The Japanese Ink Stick is bulky to use, and you cannot erase it. Yuli was able to use her artistic skills to create with ease, in this challenging media. Her work measures 23" x 17" and turned out stunning.
