The JV Volleyball team went 4-0 for the day at the Winchester Tournament! Congratulations on your 1st place finish ladies! 🏐
It’s been many years since we’ve beaten our rival Routt in volleyball. The last time may have been in 2014. Today, on a rescheduled Saturday morning match, with a few fans and no JV reserves to fill in and cheer them on, these girls came out with fire and beat Routt 25-20; 25-14. Thanks to everyone that came out this morning! 💙🏐💙
Triopia ends the regular season with a record of 17-15. Great job, ladies!

Coach T says have a day, let’s goooo!
Each week, members of the football will team meet for breakfast at Rudi's in Jacksonville. The Triopia Trojan football team would like to thank Rudi's and their outstanding waitress Cindy for outstanding food and service this entire season.
Happy Principal’s Appreciation Day to Mrs. Hobrock and Mr. Kuhlmann! Thanks for all you do for our students, staff, and community each and every day! #triopia #thankaprincipal #leadersofhope2022
Special thank you to Sergeant First Class Chavez from the Army National Guard who has been with us the last two days speaking to high school PE classes about future opportunities and careers.
Today at lunch, Coach Thompson shared this form with all students and a letter explaining the process. Letterman jackets are an opportunity for students to show school pride and aren't necessarily just for athletes. They can be worn by students in all sorts of clubs and organizations. This year, if students get a jacket, Jostens will put the numerals, trojan head, and letter when the coat is purchased. While we understand that can be more expensive, it allows the company to do that for the student where you know it will be done correctly and saves the hassle of parents having to sew it themselves or have someone sew it for them. If a student chooses to get a jacket, fitting will be completed on Thursday during school. Any questions can be sent to Coach Thompson at rthompson@triopiacusd27.org or by calling him at 217-457-2281.
Congratulations Jake and Riddick!

Employee Spotlight-October 2022
Thank you to our Triopia Kitchen Staff!
The September Upperclassman Student of the Month is 12th grader Trevin LIttleton. He is the son of Greg and Kathy LIttleton. Trevin participates in NHS at Triopia.
Mrs. Price and Mrs. Dober both nominated Trevin for Student of the Month. Mrs. Price says “Trevin has shown great leadership as president of NHS. His drive for success has shown through his ability to organize meetings and fundraisers for our chapter. He is dedicated to his academic studies and I'm impressed with his professionalism. He's polite and friendly to both his peers and our staff”. In addition, Mrs. Dober says “Trevin is the president of NHS and so far has done a great job of organizing meetings and working to get items going for our chapter. He is also in Calculus and Statistics and is the hardest worker in both classes by far to make sure that he has his work done but also the understanding to master the topics. When others might be off task, Trevin continues to work to complete his tasks during the class period.”
After graduating in May, Trevin would like to attend Washington University in St. Louis to study Business and Marketing and in the future he sees himself as a successful entrepreneur living in Florida. Trevin’s favorite class is Public Speaking because it pushes students out of their comfort zone and also teaches students skills they can utilize throughout their life.
Fun facts about Trevin: He races sprint cars for Trevin Littleton Racing and he is pretty good at it! Trevin’s favorite food is chicken and he has a dog named Wally. Oddly enough, Trevin loves Christmas, but hates winter.
Congratulations, Trevin!
The September Underclassman Student of the Month is 10th grader Ticen Crawford. He is the son of Luke and Jessica Crawford. Ticen is the oldest, and has two sisters Eve and Mey, and little brother Tate. Ticen participates in FFA and Football at Triopia.
Mrs. Embley, who teaches Spanish, nominated Ticen for Student of the Month. Mrs. Embley says “Ticen is a hard-working, conscientious student who sets an example for his classmates by asking questions and consistently striving to improve. Ticen is involved in many school activities and is a leader in his class. He has a strong character, demonstrating responsibility, service, and respect to others”.
In the future Ticen would like to earn a Master’s Degree in Business from the University of Illinois. Currently, Ticen’s favorite class is World History through Film because Mr. Doyle makes the class fun and the work is pretty easy if you just pay attention.
Fun facts about Ticen: He is involved in Youth Group at 1C in Jacksonville and his favorite food is a steak (well done). Under no circumstances will Ticen drink after someone.
Congratulations, Ticen!
The character trait for September was RESPECT. The following grade school students were selected by their teachers as the Students of the Month for September!

Congratulations!!
The September Junior High Student of the Month is 8th grader Madalynn Werries. She is the daughter of Matt Werries and Amber Werries. Madalynn has a brother named Nolan in 6th grade. Madalynn participates in Volleyball and Cheer at Triopia.
Mrs. Burrus, who teaches Math 1, nominated Madalynn for Student of the Month. Mrs. Burrus says “Madalynn is a great student that is self motivated to succeed. She is always willing to participate and help other students. Her smile and happy personality is contagious.”
In the future Madalynn would like to attend college, but has not decided where or what she would like to study. Her life goals are to be kind and try her best! Currently, Madalynn’s favorite class is Science because she understands the subject the most.
Fun facts about Madalynn: she likes Triopia’s chicken nachos and is really excited for October because her favorite movie is Hocus Pocus and she loves Halloween. However, if you are a loud eater, slow walker, or sneeze without covering your mouth, watch out - Madalynn is not a fan!
Congratulations, Madalynn!
Thank you!

Senior student-athlete pictures sponsored by Triopia Athletic Boosters will be completed at 3 p.m. this Sunday, October 23rd at Triopia. Pictures taken are displayed in the foyer area of Triopia High School to celebrate our senior athletes. At the end of the year, these pictures are then given to our student-athletes as a gift from the booster club.
Senior athletes should wear a casual outfit for the picture and bring their uniforms from each of their respective sports with them.
Nelson Mandela once said that, “What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” I hope you’ll consider these words as we look to honor our two principals, Jamie Hobrock and Joe Kuhlmann, during Principal’s Appreciation Week!
How can you (as a parent, student, or community member) honor them?
-You can thank them below this post
-You can send them an email
-You can write them a personal note or letter and bring it to the school or have it delivered
It doesn't matter what way you choose to do so, but we hope you'll take the time to thank them for their countless hours and dedication to our students, school and community! #triopia #leadersofhope2022
