Earlier this week at our monthly School Board Meeting, we recognized and thanked the Tenino Athletics Booster Club for their work on the first Tenino High School Athletic Hall of Fame. TSD Athletic Director, Nick Bamer said that Michelle Strawn headed up the project and that it wouldn't have been possible without her hard work. Marisa Noonan and Lindsey Gonia were also a big part of the work that went into the event. Thank you all for the hard work that went into the project! It was great success and we look forward to many more! #ontenino

Tenino School District staff members are finding ways to bridge the funding gap to help enrich and enhance our students' educational experiences. One way to accomplish this is by applying for grants.

Congratulations to PES staff: Karla Zehm ($100), Raelynn Goodwin ($100), Kristi Schow ($100) and Colleen Taylor ($250) and TES staff: Samantha Lawton ($100).
In addition, Kathy Slease and Karla Zehm were each awarded $200 from the TwinStar Credit Union Classroom Cash Grant.

At our November School Board Meeting a couple weeks ago, we recognized the Tenino VFW and thanked them for their continued partnership with our schools and community. We also had the opportunity to hear from the Tenino High School FFA students that organized and held the annual Veterans Day Brunch at THS. The brunch was a success and the students enjoyed hearing stories and talking with all who attended!
Tenino Cross-Country does it again! THS sent off SIX individual state qualifiers AND the boys team last Friday! This is the first time that a boys team has gone to state since 1993!
Congratulations Coach Carpenter!!
As a friendly reminder, in observance of Veterans Day there will be no school on Monday, November 11th. Thank you to all who served!
