On March 7th & 8th, the Tri-

Village Drama Club will be

presenting Midsummer/

Jersey, the hilarious high-

octane re-telling of Shake-

speare’s A Midsummer

Night’s Dream set on the

boardwalk of a seaside town

in modern-day New Jersey.

The story is centered on the

affairs of four love-struck

teenagers and their endeav-

ors to pursue love at all

costs. The play takes an in-

triguing turn as the crushes

accidentally become entan-

gled in a magical fairy world

where the king and queen’s

argument over a birthday

present spirals out of control.

Thank you to everyone for being flexible and understanding as we work to-

gether with the blizzard bag policy. Again for clarification, the guidelines are

as follows: Online assignments will only be accessible through the website

for 24 hours. After that, students will be responsible for getting the assign-

ments from their teachers. Attendance for these three days will be based on

completion of these assignments. Please have your students turn each as-

signment in to the appropriate teacher. If you have any questions don’t hesi-

tate to contact the office.

The Feed the Hungry Chil-

dren Backpack Program will

be doing a fundraiser dinner

in between the basketball

games on Saturday, Febru-

ary 8th from 3:00-5:45 pm.

All proceeds go to support

students attending Tri-

Village who do not have

enough to eat on weekends.

The meal will be $5.00 with

some of the menu items in-

cluding chili soup, hot

chicken sandwiches, and

grilled cheese. Other items

will be available sold sepa-

rately.

If you are interested in do-

nating any items to the

fundraiser, please contact

Stephanie Benedict before

Our Hall of Fame Induction

will also be this night during

the boys’ game. We would

love to see an incredible

turnout to support not only

our new Hall of Fame mem-

bers, but most of all those

students in our district who

could use your care and

support. Please call the of-

fice with any questions.

The boys basketball team

has been doing some spec-

tacular things this season.

Colton Linkous was voted

player of the week on week

4 of JJHuddle.com’s compe-

tition. Colton took the lead

with almost 19,000 votes.

The boys were also voted

team of the week on week 6

with 2900 votes. Both are

perfect examples of the out-

pouring of Patriot spirit that

Tri-Village is known for. Well

done Patriot Nation!

All victories aside, the nail-

biter against Bethel on Janu-

ary 25th will go down in the

history books. Coming from a

15 point deficit at halftime,

the Patriots rallied back with a

stunning second half that sent

them into overtime. A three-

pointer by sophomore Tyler

VanWinkle with the final

buzzer clinched this game for

Tri-Village with a victory that’s

nothing short of a miracle.

MESSAGE FROM MR. MORRIS Happy 2014, Tri-Village:

We’ve seen our fair share of snow this year in Darke County, but that hasn’t stopped our

students from doing what they do best. We have students gearing up for the Darke

County Science Fair, students representing our school district at the Darke County Spell-

ing Bee, and student-athletes putting all of their efforts on the hardwood for all of us to

enjoy many nights a week! Join us for our upcoming Chili Supper benefiting our Back-

Pack Program on Saturday February 8, between our girls and boys regular season bas-

ketball finales. Senior Recognition Night will take place during these games as well.

We’re working towards a spring testing schedule, and trying our best to make our par-

ents, our school, and our community proud. Join us!
