EVENTS OR NOTICES FOOD WASTE AND TRASH GUIDELINES As a school community, we compost our food waste. Unfortunately, we are experiencing a lot of contamination in our food waste and that is bad for the composting process. Everyone, please watch this 1 ½ minute long video to help us understand what to do with excess food and trash in the cafeteria. Thank you. LINK TO VIDEO Team Triumph needs your empty plastic bottles (2 liter, water bottles, soda bottles, etc.) for a science project that we will be engaged in after the break. Mrs. Levine & Mrs. Morrissey would love it if you could bring them in for us at any point between now and the end of March. We will gladly be around to collect them if that works best for you, or you can deliver them at your convenience. Thank you for your support!

PICTURES AND REPORTS TRIUMPH It is the time of year when Triumph students head outside with Mr. Branon to tap maple trees on the surrounding property. First, each tree is examined to determine the portions of the tree trunks most likely to have sap flowing in them. If dead wood or dead limbs above are observed it is better to move around a tree to find live wood.  Students took turns drilling holes into the wood and hammering plastic spiles (spigots) into the trees. They also took turns hanging buckets and bucket lids to collect sap and keep detritus from contaminating the fluid. It was perfect weather for the task and Triumph students and staff are eager for the sap to start flowing so that they can collect it and boil it down into syrup in the new sugar house.

They shared some impressive findings and displays. Many of the presentations had to do with space.
