PROMOTING ACHIEVEMENT IN LEADERSHIP SKILLS

The elementary is embarking on a new program for our students called PALS (Promoting Achievement in Leadership Skills).  This program will be designed to allow elementary-age students to begin developing leadership skills through monthly meetings and service projects for the community.  We are still in the planning stage but will be putting the final touches on our plan and hope to begin by the end of this week or first of next week.  Look for more details in the near future.

Roarin' Among the State's Best!!!

The Roarin' Band from Tiger Land has returned from the UIL State Marching Contest with a lot to be proud of.  Directors Cates and Sanford along with Student Assistant Kasi Trent can now lay claim to being the leaders of the best military style band in Texas and the undisputed top Class A band in East Texas after a stellar 4th place finish in the contest that was held in the Alamodome in San Antonio.  The many hours of hard work and rehearsal paid off in the biggest moment on the biggest stage as the Tiger Band pulled off its best performance of the year in the State Finals.  The Tigers would finish behind West Texas powers Sundown, Forsan, and Canadian all of whom enjoy enrollments at, near, and even above 200 students in high school.  In 2007, the Tigers finished 12th and this year, with a 4th place finish, the quest for the 2011 State Championship begins. 

CONGRATS TO ALL!!! IT WAS AND IS A GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT

Tenaha Students Kick Off Soles 4 Souls Campaign
 
Tenaha Elementary PALS (Promoting Achievement and Leadership Skills) organization has initiated their first project.  Members of the PALS program, along with Tenaha Elementary GT students, work furiously to complete posters for the March 1st kick off date for the Soles 4 Souls campaign 2010.  After seeing the devastation and suffering of Haiti victims Fourth grader, Jaden Washington, came up with the idea to raise money for these victims of the Haiti earthquake. Soles 4 Souls was the perfect organization to contribute money to.
 
Soles 4 Souls, inc. began as a small team effort to make a difference in people’s lives with the gift of shoes.  The charity began shortly after Hurricane Katrina roared ashore the gulf coast of the U.S.  A group of caring individuals and motivated charities created a website called KatrinaShoes.org in order to collect footwear donations from companies and individuals.
The response to the call for action was overwhelming.  The charity discovered the need for basic footwear was immense.  KatrinaShoes.org reincorporated as Soles4Souls, Inc., which has become an acclaimed international organization dedicated to providing free footwear to those in desperate need. 
 
Tenaha’s Elementary PALS has made a commitment to get involved in making a difference in people’s lives. In conjunction with Soles4Souls, PALS will be able to send desperately needed shoes to the victims of the Haiti Earthquake.   PALS has set a goal to collect $1,000. from March 1st-March 11th.  This money will be sent Soles4Souls and used to get footwear to those in need. 
 
The Tenaha Elementary Students will be collecting donations.  You may also donate on the website www.soles4soulsfundraising.org, Under “Know someone who’s doing a fundraiser?” type in Tenaha.  You can donate on line.   Please donate today!

Tenaha ISD will begin offering online courses to the community.  The online courses are offered free of charge.  This was made possible through the Teachers, Teamwork, and Technology (T3) grant.  The grant was designed to improve student achievement through the effective use of technology.
