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!
February 15th was National School Resource Officer Appreciation Day!!

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
