Triad Welcomes New Leadership By Sarah EstabrookBy Sarah EstabrookBy Sarah EstabrookBy Sarah Estabrook Journalist
After over a year of
searching, extensive inter-
views and lots of prayer,
Triad School has found
their new headmaster!
Kevin Monk accepted the
position this past summer,
ending the nation wide
search for the perfect prin-
cipal. Monk grew up just 75 miles from Klamath
Falls in Medford, Oregon. He attended Eastern
Oregon University where he planned on major-
ing in Pre-Medicine. “In college I met a doctor
that worked 90 hours a week and never got to
see his family, it was then I realized that’s not
really what I wanted,” Monk explained. He soon
after started pursuing teaching, realizing that it
was something he was very passionate about,
“Most of my teachers throughout Jr. High and
High School had a huge impact on my life and
who I became and that’s ultimately why I be-
came a teacher. I hope to impact students lives
the same way my teachers impacted mine.”
Triad has
a c c e p t e d
their new
p r i n c i p a l
with open
arms, ex-
cited to see
what this
year will
hold. “Our Triad families are very excited to
have Mr. Monk lead our school,” stated Triad’s
registrar and guidance counselor, Shayla Brown,
“families have been very positive about his ideas
and the direction he is taking
the school.” It seems that
everyone in the Triad Nation
is responding with excite-
ment to Triad’s new head-
master and Monk is equally
excited. “I absolutely love my
new position! I love the
students and getting to know
each personality, everyone
from the little preschoolers to the seniors,”
Monk said about his new job, “I also love the
staff and feel extremely blessed to have the op-
portunity to lead them.”
High expectations have been set for Mr. Monk,
but he is ready to meet them head on. “I really
want to build on what has been done here. I
want to continue the success this school has had
with academics, its sports team and the fine arts.
I am also open to new ideas and even have some
of my own,” Monk explained. The senior boys
have already been inspired by Kevin Monk’s
“openness” to new ideas and have started an
intramural Dodge Ball team. “I love that he un-
derstands where we as a school have come from
and isn’t coming in and trying to change every-
thing,” Student Body President Josh DeFord
commented, “but I also really appreciate he is
open to some of our new ideas as a student
body.” It seems as if the year of searching and
praying has paid off, and Triad will continue to
excel and grow under new leadership. “Most of
all I want to focus on putting God first in every-
thing this school does because if we aren’t doing
that then nothing else really matters.” Monk
concluded. It is evident that under the new lead-
ership of Kevin Monk, Triad’s future is bright.

Triad Sports Teams Begin Seasons Successfully By Josh DeFordBy Josh DeFordBy Josh DeFordBy Josh DeFord
Senior Editor
The fall sports season at Triad is off to a great start, beginning
with our football team, which currently stands at a 5-2 overall
record. The team recently took on one of the top teams in the
state, Camas Valley and until late in the game, held the lead. If
not for a few key injuries, the end result might have been differ-
ent. The Timberwolf football team faced the Powers Cruisers
on September 13th, which ended with a 42-28 victory and since
then have soundly defeated all of their opponents by at least 30
points. The Wolves are currently ranked 4th in the State.
Bumping over to the volleyball spectrum, the girls’ record is cur-
rently 7-7. This is the
girls’ winningest season
they have experienced in
a while. Senior Brittany
Eskildson attributes how
well the team is doing to
their learning to work as
a team like never before.
The team has qualified
for districts and will go into post season play as the third seed
from the south side of the Mountain Valley League.
Our two-person cross country
team spearheaded by the Es-
tabrook duo, is off and running to
a season full of success. The
elder Estabrook, Sarah, began
her season with a second place
finish at the 26th Annual Cru-
sader Invitational with a 20 min-
ute, 28 second time. Es-
tabrook number two, Erin,
completed her race in 14th
place with a time of 24
minutes and 2 sec-
onds. Sarah went on to finish with a first place victory at the
Lakeview Invitational.
Our cheerleading squad is under new leadership this year: Jodi
Orlando and Shelly Johnson graciously stepped up and filled the
open cheer coach positions. Fall sports never fail to disappoint
our mighty fans, and the 2013 fall season has been no exception.
Future Triad Runners Prepare For District Race By Sarah EstabrookBy Sarah EstabrookBy Sarah EstabrookBy Sarah Estabrook
Sports Editor
Unknown to most of the Triad Nation there are three distance
runners in the Triad Junior High building hope for the future of
Triad’s distance running. Sixth graders Ben Carringer and Gavin
Conaughty have been competing this past fall for Ponderosa Mid-
dle School’s cross country team. Being in the SOMSAC League
the boys have traveled all around Southern Oregon racing a dis-
tance a little under two miles (3,000m). Carringer’s time of 14
minutes and 1 second, at the league meet in Talent where he
placed 51st out of a field of nearly 80 runners remains his per-
sonal best so far this season. Conaughty’s personal best was ran
in McLaughlin where he placed 65th out of over 100 runners with
a time of 14 minutes and 41 seconds. “When I run I really try and
focus on everything besides running” laughed Gavin Caunoghty
when asked what his running strategy was. The boys have their
district championship meet on Tuesday, October 22nd at the Val-
ley of the Rouge State Park where they will compete against run-
ners from 15 other schools within the SOMSAC district.
Although Marina Conaughty does not run cross country, she
does compete for Ponderosa’s track and field team in the spring.
Her main event is the longest race on the track covering almost
8 laps: the 3,000. Marina placed fourth last May at the SOMSAC
district meet finishing with a time of 13 minutes and 39 seconds,
a time that would have put the seventh grader in the top five at
the high school 1A Mountain Valley District meet. “I love the
feeling that running gives me,” states the elder Conaughty “its fun
sprinting in the end and giving everything I have.”

Another Exciting Year for Triad Students Begins By Ryan PaulsBy Ryan PaulsBy Ryan PaulsBy Ryan Pauls
Journalist Welcome back to our families who are returning for another great year at Triad as
well as all the new families who are joining Triad for the first time. We hope every-
one had a great and restful summer.
I got the chance to ask a few questions to a couple of the seniors about how their
summer was and what they hope to gain from this year. Brittany Eskildson says she
had a great summer. She went on a family vacation to the east coast for ten days.
She also got to attend a Taylor Swift concert with her sister and friend. Brittany
likes to be back at school because of the routine she has to follow. Brittany’s favor-
ite teacher is Mr. Hoffman because he makes her day so much better. She loves
choir class because it is always fun. Brittany hopes to be accepted into University of
Nevada Reno and get a diploma.
I also interviewed Joy Kim, who said her summer was good because she got to see
her family in Korea. She is glad that school is back,
because she can be involved in music and enjoy her
favorite class, which is band. Joy hopes to find out
what college she wants to go to and have a great
senior year. Joy and Brittany both want to get into
the colleges that are best for them
In other exciting news, Triad has won the esteemed
Oregonian Cup for the 8th straight year. The Orego-
nian Cup distinguishes total school merit in academics, activities, athletics and sports-
manship. The leading influence behind these scoring rundowns is that every school
that has a team or single person be eligible for our state championships is worthy
to have point acknowledgement.
Triad Staff Grows in Numbers

Mr. Louis Idrogo is our new first grade teacher this year. Mr. Idrogo was born in Alturas and grew up in Tulelake. He went to Eastern Univer-
sity for his undergraduate degree in multidisciplinary studies and then attended Southern Oregon University for his Master’s in Education. He is
most looking forward to just having a great year at Triad. He said he’s “heard great thing about the school” and is looking forward to see
what it’s like. Mr. Idrogo wasn’t looking for this specific job, but with the push from his wife, he is ready to “get that love of teaching back.”
Mr. Jacob Franklin teaches a senior Bible class, freshman health, high school P.E., as well as a cross fit class. Mr. Franklin has his
Bachelor’s degree in ministry and is working on mastering in education. He has owned a few businesses, worked for four years as
a police officer, worked at a youth facility in Washington and now he joins us. He is most excited to teach the Bible this year in
his senior class and is glad that God opened the door for him to have the opportunity to teach here.
Mr. Josh Brumfield comes to us and teaches our elementary and junior high music programs
here at Triad. He also has taken on a high school drama class. Mr. Brumfield graduated from
Corban University with a degree in musical education. He was brought here by his old teacher,
Mr. Monk. They recently got reacquainted and subsequently got offered a job here. He is looking
forward to our spring play this year, and he is happy to be with us.
Mrs. Shannon Moritz is our four year old preschool teacher this year. She attended George Fox University
and got her bachelor’s degree in education. After she graduated she came here and actually taught at
Triad for six years. When she became a mother she decided to be a stay-at-home-mom but has been a
regular substitute teacher at Triad. She loves getting to know her students and how excited they are to
learn. She came back to teach at Triad because all of her kids came of school age, and she hated not
being in the classroom on a regular basis.

Elementary Students Show Off Hard Work By Carolyn WaiteBy Carolyn WaiteBy Carolyn WaiteBy Carolyn Waite
Junior Editor
It is only a couple weeks into the
school year and there are already
beautiful pictures and neat projects on
the walls of the elementary hallway and
classrooms. The students have done
some great work so far and we would
like to share it.
A kindergartener, Grace, was excited to
show the rocket ship she made with her name on it. Her
favorite part of the picture was the star stickers she got to
use and the sparkles. She says she might give it to her
grandma or put it on her door.
For a first grade science project, Preston and Luke got to
make puff mobiles. Preston wanted his to be an airplane and
Luke designed his to be a sailboat with wheels. Preston says
“it was fun to make and rip apart and put back together.”
Tynan, a second grader, made a hunting stick figure for his
“Getting to Know You” unit. Tynan had
fun making it all by himself using pencil
and crayons.
The third graders made creative book
reports on a book they choose to read
over the summer. Delaney had fun mak-
ing her story quilt book report on
Sarah, Plain and Tall with the help of her
parents.
To have some fun before they start reading
Mr. Popper’s Penguins the fifth graders have made little pen-
guins to decorate the room. Austin is already enjoying the
book and says the penguins were fun and easy to make.
Owen was happy to finish and made his penguin special by
“making the beak open like it’s yelling with excitement!”
Our students really enjoy sharing their creations, so come
down and see all the fun projects Triad students have been
working on!

Triad Spotlights Alumni Endeavors

School spirit was at an all time
high October 11th-18th as
Triad’s second ever fall home-
coming week took place.
Triad school kicked off their
week of homecoming festivi-
ties on Friday, October 11th
with a powder-puff football
game, bonfire and car smash. Triad students, parents and
alumni gathered on the football practice fields on Friday night
to cheer on high school girls as they competed in a game of
flag football. It was an intense match up between the fresh-
men and senior versus the sophomores and juniors, with sen-
ior football players coaching each team. “It was fun to show
everyone that even though
we are underclassmen we
could still win,” stated
sophomore Maddie McCuis-
ton “I loved having the op-
portunity to play a sport I
don’t usually play and just
hang out with my friends.”
Following the game everyone went around to the back of
the school where they were met with chili, warm drinks
supplied by Dutch Bros, and a 20 foot high bonfire. Near the
end of the night a mini van pulled from a junk yard was
smashed by students and parents as a senior fundraiser. “I
was dared to hit it, so I hit
the car for 30 seconds. It was
really fun!” laughed sixth
grader Courtlyn Lam. The
car smash proved to be a
huge success raising nearly
$200 for the class of 2014.
“I just think the bonfire
was such a good kick off to homecoming! It seemed like eve-
ryone was really enjoying themselves,” commented Senior
volleyball captain Shelby Stiller.
The next day was senior day for the Triad sports teams. The
volleyball, football and cheerleader seniors were all recog-
nized during the halftime of the football game where the
Wolves dominated the Gilchrist Grizzlies with a 66-14 win.
The volleyball team also dominated; sweeping the Grizzlies in
three sets.
The next week homecoming festivities contin-
ued with dress up days where students were
encouraged to dress up according to the
theme and show off their school spirit. With
the theme being hunting or “Open Season”
the Triad halls were filled with fake pine trees,
leaves, pine needles, antlers and camping gear
to help students really get into the theme. On
Tuesday, October 15 during the middle of jr.
high and high school lunch the student union
was filled with music and the five Triad cheer-
leaders emerged from their tables and per-
formed a choreographed dance. This stunt
intended to
heighten
school spirit
is now the
first “flash
mob” ever in
Triad
history. “We really wanted to get the student
body involved and show support for our ath-
letes and their success,” summed up senior
captain of the cheerleaders Carolyn Waite. A
final pep assembly took place on Friday getting
everyone excited about the upcoming home
football game. On Saturday homecoming
week officially wrapped up as the Timber-
wolves annihilated the Elkton Elks 75-24 at
Klamath Union High School. Following the
football game the Triad homecoming dance
capped off a week of fun and festivities.
Based on the student body’s reaction to this
years fall homecoming week, it certainly seems as if the
cheerleaders met their goal and put on one of the most suc-
cessful homecoming weeks Triad school has ever seen.
