Tenino family,
It is with a heavy heart that I write tonight sharing about the tragedy in Uvalde, Texas with the shooting at Robb Elementary School. Our thoughts are with those students, staff and families affected by this, and we are hopeful for the full recovery of those injured. This level of violence is impossible to comprehend, and very difficult to talk about.
In the coming days, our students, staff, and families may experience a wide range of emotions related to this incident. It’s important that we share some resources that are available, but more importantly, that our students, staff, and families feel safe and supported.
For students: Please talk to any adult if you are feeling unsafe or if you feel like you need to talk. You can also call: Teen Link help line at 1-866-TEENLINK (833-6546)
For staff: Resources are available online, or you can call the district office at 264-3410. Please talk to your colleagues—check in on one another.
For families: Please don’t hesitate to contact our schools, or the district office at 264-3410. We are here to support our families. You may also find resources here: https://www.tmbhaso.org/crisis-information

We are here for our students, staff, and families.
Please look out for one another—if you feel like you need to talk to someone, we encourage you to connect with someone in our schools or use any of the resources listed above.
Sincerely,
Clint Endicott
Superintendent

CONGRATULATIONS to THS students, Nathan and Brook competed in the FFA Leadership Development Event called Employment Skills. The Washington FFA Employment Skills Leadership Development Event is designed for FFA members to develop, practice and demonstrate skills needed for seeking employment in the industry of agriculture. Each part of the event simulates, as closely as possible, real-world activities that are used by real-world employers. The contestants submit a job application, cover letter and resume prior to the contest to be scored. They then go through the process of being "interviewed" where they are scored.
Nathan placed 1st and Brook placed 2nd at Sub Districts and qualified to move onto Districts on March 24th. Good Luck!!!!
It's time to register for football and cheer!! TCYFL has their early bird registration beginning today through the end of the month!
