PARKING LOT SAFETY
Our maintenance team was hard at work this morning installing a speed bump in the Tenino Elementary School parking lot. The safety of our students, staff, and community is of utmost importance to us and we appreciate your cooperation in keeping arrival and pick up procedures safe for everyone!
Last week, fifteen of Mrs. Rankel’s 7th Grade Science Students showcased their insights on the Scatter Creek Watershed and the headwaters of the Chehalis River Basin, during the 32nd Annual Student GREEN Congress at Evergreen State College. Students monitored the water quality of Scatter Creek and the Mill Pond in both October and February. They presented their findings to experts in water quality and students from grades 3 to 8 across Western Washington. Additionally, they participated in workshops learning a variety of ways to be good stewards of nature and our environment.

Every year for the months of February, March, April, and May, each school hosts a school board meeting! Parkside kicked us off this year at our February meeting last week and we had the cutest group of Transition to Kindergarten (TTK) students that led us in the flag salute with their teacher, Mrs. Holly Johnson!
Similar to our regular board meetings, each Principal chooses a community partner to honor at the meeting. Parkside chose to recognize Gaylen and Carol Wood of South Sound Reading Foundation. The Wood's and SSRF have been supporting Tenino students for nearly 20 years and have put thousands of books into our students hands. Thank you Gaylen, Carol, and South Sound Reading Foundation for your unwavering support of Tenino students!
Next month, our meeting will be hosted by Mrs. Van De Wege and crew at Tenino Elementary!
Congratulations to the Tenino Varsity Boys Basketball team for making it to the State Tournament for the second year in row!! They will be headed up north to Wenatchee High School to face the Chelan Mountain Goats tomorrow, March 1 at 10:00am. Good Luck, Beavers!
