Students in the Japanese class at THS created these amazing hand drawn greeting cards and celebrated the Japanese New Year. Here is a message from Chiyo, the Japanese teacher... New Year celebration is the BIGGEST thing in Japan. In my Japanese class, we have learned about Japanese New Year's Eve, so far. Around mind December, we will start preparing to welcome a new year and hopefully, we can start the new year in a clean place and with a clear mind. First, we create a New Year card with the Zodiac. The Year 2022 is the TIGER! Then, on the 31st, we do a deep cleaning at the home, office, and school (by students before the winter break). Later, we do decorate the house with the new year decoration. Then, another significant thing we do is eat Soba noodles on the 31. You must slurp noodles!! Yum! After the winter break, we will learn more about Japanese New Year, and I am hoping we can do Japanese calligraphy, Mochi tasting, and new year's games. Also, there was a New Year greeting contest hosted by the American Association of Teachers of Japanese https://www.aatj.org/ I have submitted 5 students' cards. They created great art.

Good Evening Tenino Families & Students! After careful consideration, consultation with our Transportation Department, and monitoring of local weather channels, Tenino will start ON-TIME tomorrow, January 5th. ALL buses will continue operating on Snow Routes (AM/PM) only and there will be NO out-of-district transportation. You can find the 21-22 Snow Routes here >>>> https://5il.co/12e8i There are many factors that go into making the decision to delay or cancel school including communication throughout the evening and early morning with transportation. The transportation team is out early in the morning driving routes, specifically roads that are not typically tended to by the county. Our number one priority is always the safety and well being of our students. Have a good evening!

Tenino School District Families, We recently received this letter from a student at Tenino Middle School. At times it can be difficult to remember the impact that our educators have in the lives of our students, families and community. This letter is an incredible reminder of just that! Clint Endicott, Superintendent Dear Tenino, I started going to school here a little past Christmas of last year. I started out scared because of the teacher, the students, and community of my old town and school could be cold hearted and mean, but, Tenino is different. I could not find a way to thank everyone who gave me the experience I’ve had here without making a thousand cards. So I’m writing a card to Tenino because Tenino is made of amazing people. First off, thank you to my wonderful teachers. There has not been a single moment where I was treated rudely by a teacher. Instead I was only shown kindness and generosity. They all gave me confidence in my work and they want to keep good grades. Second, I want to thank my cross-country team. I never had to try to be a part of the team because I was accepted the second I joined and was cheered on by all of them, giving me the courage to improve. Last, but definitely not least, I want to thank the community of Tenino. The people here are incredible and in most situations kind. This community has given me a home and friends so thank you Tenino. To everyone at Tenino School District, thank you. The hard work, dedication, and the impact that you have in the lives of students, families and our community is never gone unnoticed. You are appreciated!

Thank you to Jody with Tenino Community Service Center and their partnership with our school district! We were proud to have you as our Community Partner this month and look forward to continuing our work with TCSC. Please see the attached flyer to see the amazing opportunities that TCSC offers to our community and ways to donate as well. Also below, Mr. Endicott delivers a Community Partnership Award to TCSC Outreach Coordinator, Jody Stoltz. Thank you for making a difference in our community.
