Congratulations to all March Student of the Month Nominations!
The March Junior High Student of the Month is Isaac Morrell (8th grade student). He is the son of Dan and Brittnie Morrell. Isaac is involved in basketball, baseball, scholastic bowl, and band here at Triopia.
Isaac was nominated by two teachers this past month. Mrs. Morrow mentioned, “Isaac is a great addition to my class! He works hard, participates, and is very knowledgeable about the world and can relate to many things. He's got an awesome sense of humor, which really makes my job fun. I love having Isaac as a student!” In addition, Mrs. Hayes said, “Isaac is always pleasant and has a positive attitude. He is one of the most willing students in his class to participate in class discussions, and I am always impressed with how much he keeps up with current events. Of course, that adds to the information that he is able to share in discussions.”
Isaac would like to go to college and attend the University of North Carolina. He wants to study Biology or Astronomy at this time. Currently, Isaac says that Science with Mrs. Whelan is his favorite class as he really likes what they are learning about.
Isaac has many favorites. He really likes stuffed green peppers, and his favorite animal is the red eared spider. Isaac likes the TV show Cosmos and the movie “Back to the Future,” and his favorite holiday is Christmas. Isaac’s favorite sport is golf and his favorite non-school related activity is to play the piano. There are a few things that Isaac does not like. He does not like reading, writing and bullies. Congratulations Isaac!
Vivie Littleton is the Underclassmen Student of the Month for March. She is a sophomore here at Triopia and is the daughter of Mark Littleton and Cindy Littleton. She has 2 sisters, Bailey and Megan.
Vivie was nominated by Mrs. Dober who had this to say, “Viv is a strong math student in my Math 1 class. She is a quiet student in a rowdy class but is doing so well. She has asked so many great questions lately. Nice job Viv!”
Vivie plans to attend a college or university but is unsure of where at this time. She does want to study law enforcement or business. Vivie has a goal of being a collegiate athlete. Vivie’s favorite class is science with Mrs. Whelan because Mrs. Whelan is always so energetic and easily engages her students.
Some of Vivie’s favorite things are chicken strips, zebras, the movie Remember the Titans, and her favorite holiday is Christmas. Vivie really enjoys playing basketball and her favorite non school related activity is racing. Vivie stated that she is not a fan of tomatoes or loud gum chewers. Congratulations Viv!
Jake Mueller is the Upperclassmen Student of the Month for March. He is a junior here at Triopia and is the son of Paul and Michelle Mueller. He has a brother, Clay who is a 6th grader here at Triopia. Jake is involved in student council, National Honor Society, football, and basketball.
Mrs. Embley nominated Jake and mentioned, “Jake is an all-around, top-notch Triopia Trojan! Jake excels academically while taking on leadership positions and balancing competitive sports. He is a pleasure every day in class, always on top of his studies, kind to classmates and staff alike, and a joy to watch in his sports. Jake never gives less than his best which motivates those around him to step up also.”
Jake plans to attend college but is undecided on where at this time. Jake plans to study something with finance and/or data analytics. Jake's goals after high school are to pursue a degree and get a high paying job.
Jake’s favorite subject is Math as he enjoys working with numbers. Another reason he enjoys math is because there is only one certain answer to every problem.
Some of Jake’s favorite things are Apple Pie, dogs, the TV Show Last Chance U, the movie Draft Day, and his favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. He enjoys hanging out with his friends outside of school. However, Jake is not a big fan of peanuts and cats. Congratulations Jake Mueller!

Information for Kindergarten Registration for Next Year
Parents of the Triopia community,
Mr. Beddingfield is in the process of starting a junior high scholastic bowl team, with the goal of strengthening the high school team and at the same time celebrating our great Triopia education. We want to showcase our Triopia students that aren’t afraid to demonstrate their
depth of knowledge in a competitive environment and NOT be ashamed of it and in such a way that we can truly represent our community and school.
There are four criteria that must be met to join the team: a HS/JH teacher recommendation is needed, exemplary attendance {proof of commitment}, discipline {the ability to do what is expected of oneself}, and honor roll {appreciates a quality education}.
The season will run from approximately March 16th through April 27th. We will try to avoid any conflicts with track and field in Virginia. We want anyone that wants to participate in both sports the opportunity to do so. Practices will start at 4:30pm and will last until 5:15pm. There will be a cost of approximately $10 for a team t-shirt that will be kept by the participant at the end of the season. Dress code for competitive events requires khaki pants, dress or sports shoes, and uniform top.
See Mr. Beddingfield for a sign-up sheet.
Congratulations to our February Students of the Month - Clara M., 4th grade and Collin H., 1st grade!
