TIGERNATION!

Congratulations to Keaton Whittington for being "written up" by Mrs. Williams for being an outstanding student in her science classroom. Mrs. Williams says, "Keaton comes into my classroom everyday ready to start working on Science. He never complains about anything. He tries his best to complete all assignments in a timely manner." Great job being a role model and great example of what a Tenaha TIGER should be!

Tenaha ISD is preparing for this Friday's game vs San Augustine in SA. Although this week has shown a bit of reprieve from the extreme temperatures we have been enduring over the last few weeks, we are still taking safety precautions to protect our students and staff that will be participating Friday night. The same safety protocols that were in place this past week will be exercised once again to ensure all of our Tigers are well taken care of during this time. We will be providing electrolyte-filled drinks (Gatorade, Liquid IV and Body Armour) to all participants as well as having water and ice available on the sidelines throughout the game. Dress code will be amended so that all participants are kept as cool as possible and we encourage fans to once again do the same. If you see anyone in distress due to the heat, please make contact immediately with our Administrators on Duty and our Athletic Trainer, Jeff Davis. San Augustine does have streaming services available through NFHS Network and we will share that link as soon as we receive it from San Augustine. As always, please do not click on any streaming links unless the District has shared the link. It's going to be another GREAT NIGHT; we hope you will come out and support these athletes, musicians and students that are participating!! Be LOUD and WEAR your MAROON!!! GO TIGERS!!

It's TIME to kick-off the Junior High Football SEASON!! Our JH Tigers will play their first scrimmage Thursday evening in San Augustine at 5pm! Make plans to travel to SA to watch these Tigers start their 2023 Season!!

With temperatures predicted to be in the triple digits throughout the next week and foreseeable future, Tenaha ISD along with West Sabine ISD have agreed to move this week's contest to a kick-off time of 7:30 PM. Due to this incredible heat wave we are experiencing, Tenaha ISD is working to ensure our student athletes, coaches and staff, along with our fans' safety is our top priority. Measures that have been put in place to protect and serve our teams are as follows: * Water and ice will be available on the sidelines to hydrate and cool players (applying cold compresses to the neck and head) throughout the game *Hydration drinks of various types (Gatorade, Body Armour, Liquid IV - after game) are being purchased for all participating students during Friday night's game (Band, Cheer and Football). *All personnel, band members, cheerleaders have received amended dress code requirements that include shorts or light clothing; fans are encouraged to take the same measures and precautions as well. *Students are reminded to appropriately eat and stay hydrated DAILY as this extends over to practices as well. We ask that if you notice anyone in distress from the heat, please report to Laura Walker-Holmes immediately, as she will be the administrator on duty at this week's game in Pineland. Additionally, we will have our District Athletic Trainer, Jeff Davis, on the sidelines to assist with any issues that may arise as well. Each week, we will re-evaluate the necessary precautions needed to ensure the safety of our Tigers until this heat wave has lifted. Please remember this week's game vs West Sabine is in Pineland, TX at 7:30 PM - tickets will be available at the gate (no pre-sale for away games)...about 50 miles from Tenaha down HWY 96 South through Center, San Augustine and Bronson. Come out and support our amazing students and staff!!! Go TIGERS!
