Tri-Rivers invites you to their 40th Anniversary Open House, Thursday, December 10, 2015, 5:30-7:30pm. The event is open to the public. “All of our career tech labs and academic classrooms will be open during the evening with demonstrations and contests in full swing. I hope people take this opportunity to tour through the building and ask questions,” said Ellen Messenger, director of communications. “We always say Tri-Rivers is a school where you are allowed to, inspired to, and expected to be amazing. We truly believe that and I think you’ll see that when you come to Open House.”
“We are encouraging sophomores interested in attending Tri-Rivers next year to come and bring people who care about them and their futures,” said Bobby Gossom, career connections coordinator. “Along with the lab and classroom activities, I’ll be available to assist future students and their parents with questions about programs, college credits and career planning.”
“Sophomores planning to attend the Career Center next year will have the opportunity to complete their online applications—with assistance from TRCC guidance counselors—in the Tri-Rivers computer lab at Open House. “They will receive a mug for completing it during the Open House and be entered in a prize drawing,” said Sherrie Dunn, lead guidance counselor. “Some programs fill up fast and I highly recommend students get their applications in early.”
Gossom said the Open House also offers middle school students and their parents an opportunity to check out all the programs and changes at Tri-Rivers. “We recently had 8th graders in for tours. They can return with their parents to show them around the school. This will assist the students—and their parents—as they plan for their high school years.”
“We hope everyone will join us—if you haven’t seen Tri-Rivers in awhile, you really haven’t seen Tri-Rivers!” said Messenger. “There will be prize drawings in all of the labs, as well as culinary delights in celebration of our anniversary.”
The Career Center offers the following programs: Veterinary Science, Digital Media & Entertainment, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Hospitality, Healthcare Professions, Criminal Justice, Computer Networking Electronics Technologies (CNET), Engineering Technologies, Advanced Machining, Welding & Fabrication, Automotive Technology and Ag & Industrial Power Technology. The Adult Center Open House will be in the Spring 2016.

Open House Postcard to Sophomores
Olivia Mueller, a senior in the Digital Media & Entertainment program, is interning with Tri-Rivers Director of Communications Ellen Messenger.
“Olivia is a very talented young woman,” said Messenger. “She will work with me for one period a day on various projects. But her main assignment will be doing the production of the Senior Hall of Fame posters.”
The posters feature Seniors who have been accepted to college, an apprenticeship, the military or have obtained employment in their career field. Once the posters are completed, they are displayed on our Amazing Students! Hall of Fame wall. Graduating Seniors also receive a copy of the poster.
“Olivia has already created a nice design for the posters as seen above. As photos and information come in, she will work in Adobe Photoshop to crop and correct the submitted photos and in Illustrator to complete each poster,” said Messenger.
She will also have the opportunity to create other posters, designs and to assist with events and other marketing projects.
Upon graduation, Olivia plans to go into the workforce first and then attend an art school with a focus on photography.
Seniors!! Forms Can Be Picked Up in Student Services
Be sure to pick up the forms in Student Services and return them with
a good photo or email the photo to your counselor.
If you do not have a photo let your counselor know and Olivia can take one.
A foggy morning with many area weather delays didn’t stop Veterans and their families from attending Tri-Rivers “Services For Those Who Served” Veterans Day event, coordinated by the Social Studies Department.
“Veterans arrived early for coffee in the C.C. Bistro before taking tours and visiting labs where services were provided to these individuals who have given so much to their country for our freedom,” said Heather Jenkins, social studies instructor and one of the event coordinators.
Olivia Mueller of Digital Media and Entertainment prepares to print the portraits of Veteran Jim Gaston, his wife, Nancy and their dog, Zoe.
The services provided included: lawn mower repair and chainsaw sharpening in Ag & Industrial Power; computer check-ups in the Computer Networking Electronics (CNET); wash and waxing of vehicles in Auto Technologies; portraits in Digital Media & Entertainment; health checks in Healthcare Professionals; haircuts in Cosmetology, pet grooming in Veterinary Science, lunch in Culinary Arts and throughout the building students were creating cards and displays to thank veterans. RAMTEC students (Welding, Engineering, Advanced Machining) designed items paying tribute to Veterans and Construction Technologies built a bench that Veterans had a chance to win.
Army Veterans Raymond Hall of Marion and Albert Swalley of Lewis Center pose with their portraits taken in Digital Media and Entertainment during Tri-Rivers “Services For Those Who Served” event.
“Our students and staff were truly humbled to provide these services to area veterans,” said Brent Gentkowski, social studies instructor. “We owe these men and women of the armed forces tremendous gratitude for our freedom.”
“I think we may use our portrait as for our Christmas cards this year,” said Nancy Gaston, wife of Army Veteran Jim Gaston of Prospect. Along with having their portrait taken in Digital Media & Entertainment, the Gastons enjoyed lunch, had their vehicle washed and waxed, and their dog Zoe was groomed by Veterinary Science students.
Karen Winders, Tri-Rivers warehouse assistant, escorts her friend and veteran, Bill Graham, around the Career Center during “Services For Those Who Served.
Tri-Rivers Warehouse Assistant Karen Winders invited her friend and veteran, Bill Graham. “Bill was totally appreciative. He loves coming here. I want to thank our Social Studies Department and all of the students and staff who participated. I know the Veterans I talked to are looking forward to next year.”

Jenkins said with the success of this year’s event, the Social Studies Department plans to create an even bigger and better Services For Those Who Served event for next year’s Veterans Day. “We can never thank our Veterans enough, but we want to try to express our gratitude and never take for granted the sacrifices they have made.”
For more information, contact Ellen Messenger, director of communications for Tri-Rivers,
To thank veterans of Marion and surrounding communities Tri-Rivers Career Center will be providing complimentary services to Veterans furnished by our students, according to Roy Schweinfurth, social studies instructor and one of the event coordinators.
The services will be available to Veterans on Wednesday November 11. Some of the services available to Veterans include:
• A Soup & Salad Bar lunch provided by our Culinary Arts students from 11-12pm
• A Wash & Wax vehicle service provided by our Auto technology students
• Haircuts provided by our Cosmetology students, appointments to begin at 12:15pm
• Servicing lawn equipment by our Ag & Industrial Power students from 8-10:30am and 12-2pm
• Pet Grooming provided by our Veterinary Sciences program, 8:30 drop off 1pm pick-up. (Note: for these services pets must have required vaccinations prior to service—bordetella vaccination for kennel cough, etc.)

Veterans visiting the building will also be entered into a raffle to win a porch bench built by our Construction Technologies students, said Schweinfurth.
In order to plan and accommodate Veterans attending the event, we ask that appointments be made in advance for each of the services. To schedule an appointment please contact: Heather Jenkins at 740-389-8547.
For pet grooming please contact Carrie Heimlich directly at 740-389-8510.
“We believe our Veterans have given so much for us, it is time for us to give back,” said Schweinfurth.
Tri-Rivers Career Coordinator Bobby Gossom and his student team are currently traveling from school to school, in our district, to tell our story and inform sophomores of career choices at the Career Center.
All of our programs are represented during the tour by current students in each program. “Our TRCC students are doing an awesome job of speaking and sharing their skills. It is so important for the sophomores to be able to talk to our current students so they can ask questions and hear first hand what it is like to be in the program,” said Gossom.
“Our student leaders have been very impressive at the three schools we have already visited—Marion Harding, River Valley and Highland,” said Gossom. “They get into the school quickly, set up their tables and are ready to go. They are getting quite good at the process from start to tear down,” said Gossom.
Tri-Rivers decided to “change up” their visits to sophomores after hearing of the “arena style” set-up from Upper Valley Career Center in Pique and visiting Tolles Tech in Plain City, who adopted this style last year. “We wanted to present an experience that would be less intrusive to our associate schools. In the past we would spend the entire day talking to English classes about our programs,” explained Ellen Messenger, director of communications. “Now we talk less and let sophomores visit program tables and ask questions directly to our students in those programs.”
At the end of the event, the sophomores fill out a card selecting programs to visit during our Exploring Careers Days December 8 and 9 where the sophomores from area schools will actually get to do hands-on activities in the programs of their choice. Plus, there will be a Career Advising Session.
