Tenaha Independent School District

Dear Parents, We would like to inform you about an important update regarding lunchtime procedures in our school cafeteria. Due to staffing and time constraints, our employees will not be able to cook or prepare microwave meals during lunchtime. We will only be able to assist students with reheating pre-prepared meals using the microwaves available in the cafeteria. If your child brings a meal that requires heating, please ensure it is already cooked and simply needs reheating. Our staff will be able to help with this process, but will not be able to fully prepare or cook meals from scratch. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we continue to strive to provide a positive and efficient lunch experience for all our students. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please feel free to reach out to us. Thank you for your support!

Our fan base and following grow each year, consistently filling our stadium and gym. With over 100 games played at the Varsity, Junior Varsity, and JH levels, we see great attendance.

This year, in addition to our scoreboard spaces in the Tenaha Gym, we are introducing an interactive scoring table that can display advertising to capture the crowd's attention with eye-catching advertisements that rotate before and during gameplay. This is an excellent way to promote your business, as your ad will be featured on the LED display of the scoring table, which is the focal point of courtside attention. Furthermore, your business logo will be showcased on a banner during the football and soccer seasons at our stadium. The options and prices for advertising are detailed on the attached page.

🌟 We kicked off the week with a bang at Tenaha! 🎉 Our Pre-K 4 students celebrated their Week 1 rewards with refreshing popsicles and are all set for another amazing week of learning and fun. In Mrs. Cooper's Anatomy and Physiology classes, students used chalk markers to test their knowledge on body organization and organ systems. It was an interactive and engaging way to assess their understanding! 🧠 Meanwhile, our Physics students got hands-on with paper airplanes, measuring distances and timing flights to calculate speed. It was a flight of fun and learning! ✈️ It’s another fantastic day at Tenaha, and we’re thrilled to share how much our students are learning and the effort they’re putting in. Keep up the great work, everyone! #TenahaPride #LearningAndFun #STEMAdventures
