March of 2024 was a FULL month of events, planning and coordination for our team at the Trinity County Office of Education!!

From planning for and facilitating History Day, the Countywide Spelling Bee and the Love & Logic parenting classes, to planning for the upcoming STEAM and Young Artist Showcase events, TCOE’s Ed Services team has had a power packed month of activities.

History Day at Burnt Ranch Elementary
Nestled above the wild and scenic Trinity River, Burnt Ranch Elementary School hosted this year’s Trinity County National History Day competition. Competitors included 4th – 8th graders from two participating Trinity County schools competing for medals and a chance to attend the National History Day state finals at California State University Sacramento on April 19 –21. Within the theme “Turning Points in History”, out of the 57 projects that were entered, Naiya Tamura, Brayden Cooney, and Kelsea Allen from Burnt Ranch Elementary were chosen as the top finalists. Sensi Sullivan and Oliver Stewart were chosen as finalists from Trinity Center Elementary.

Spelling Bee at Hayfork Elementary
Student word gladiators from six local school districts dug into their vowels and consonants battled it out, with a hearty few becoming this year’s spelling champions

Love and Logic at Trinity County Library, Weaverville
A robust number of families attended the first in a multi-session series to further develop their parenting and relationship skills.  Throughout the sessions attendees will learn how to turn parenting into a rewarding teaching activity while also learning practical tools for adults to use with children of all ages and help to create health relationships and maintain them over the long haul.
