Congratulations to our Tri-Valley Chess Teams for their performances at the Benjamin Tournament on February 8 and the Kingsley Tournament on February 22!
At the Benjamin Tournament, our Upper Primary team (Runnard Baumann, Jeremiah Hendricks, Alfonso Gosalbez, Nash Johnson, Gage Sylvester, Clark Nancarrow, and Braden Leifheit) came in 4th place for the first time ever, beating out Towanda on tie breakers!
The Elementary team (Iner Baumann, Logan Adams, Jacoby Box, Archer Nancarrow, and Ishaan Lella) placed 4th as well, marking the first time our Elementary team has placed in the top 5!
At Kingsley last weekend, our Upper Primary team (Gage Sylvester, Braden Leifheit, and Runnard Baumann, Nash Johnson, Alfonso Gosalbez) held their ground and just narrowly missed 5th place, placing behind Towanda by only 0.5 point after the final round!
The Elementary Team (Iner Baumann, Logan Adams, and Jacoby Box) won their first trophy of the season, beating out other full 4-player teams to secure a 5th place win!
Last but not least, Chase Johnson represented Tri-Valley in the Junior High division and all by herself, took home the 3rd place team trophy, a much-deserved prize for her stellar sportsmanship and resilience this season! CONGRATS, CHASE!
Our Tri-Valley Vikings will play their final tournament at the State Championship at ISU on March 8-9.

Sharing the Investment
Did you know? Approximately 35% of purchases in McLean County are made by visitors and travelers.
If the One-Cent Tax is approved, revenue from these purchases will directly support our local schools—helping fund safety improvements, facility upgrades, and property tax relief.
This means non-residents contribute to our schools, easing the financial burden on McLean County property taxpayers while ensuring our students and community benefit from strong, modern schools.
Learn more about how this request could benefit students, staff and our school community by attending our community information meeting on March 11, visiting our webpage www.april1cent.info or contacting us directly.
