Good Evening Tenino Families,

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

On Monday at our School Board Meeting, Mrs. Jeannie Crain and some of the THS Choir students joined us to sing some Christmas carols. They sounded amazing and it's always great to have students and staff at our meetings. 🎅🎄🎼🎹
If you'd like to hear them in person, the joint TMS/THS Holiday Choir Concert is this evening at Tenino High School beginning at 7pm.

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.
We are excited to announce several PES staff members and one TES staff member who received mini-grants from the Thurston County School Retirees' Association. 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.
