Tenaha Independent School District

As Black History Month comes to a close, we wanted to share what some of our teachers did this month with their classes. English students in Mrs. Silvey's classes read articles, speeches or poems about the following icons: Martin Luther King Condoleeza Rice Serena Williams Pele Kobe Bryant Langston Hughes Each student researched a Black American icon who made a direct contribution to history. They each chose a name, some more familiar than others, then they were to create a puzzle piece with the following information from their research: a picture, a diagram or symbol of their contribution, a summary of why they are important to our history, birth and death dates (although some are still living), and cite the sources they used according to MLA format. The pieces are on display in the High School hallway so that everyone can see what these individuals did and become more educated about the accomplishments and contributions of these notable Black Americans. Thank you Mrs. Silvey for going above and beyond to incorporate this within your daily curriculum!!

Congratulations to our February Students and Staff of the Month: Paraprofessionals: Cindy Moreno & Lupita Sandoval First Grade Students: A'Tracelyn Evans & Jamon Moore Sophomore Students: CJ Suell & Shelby Eubank Great job Tigers!! Thank you for being AWESOME!! Our Elementary Students were treated to a McDonalds meal courtesy of TES and our staff & high school students will have a BBQ Luncheon this Friday courtesy of Moodyville BBQ & Steaks in Center!

We have some NEW WHEELS in Tenaha ISD!!! You'll notice TWO NEW BUSES transporting our Tigers to and from school within the next couple of weeks courtesy of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The district submitted a TERP (Texas Emissions Reduction Plan) grant for the Texas Clean School Bus initiative. We're incredibly thankful and excited to add these buses to our current fleet!!

Our Tigers have been celebrating Read Across America this week by dressing up in honor of Dr. Seuss books!! Monday was Fox in Socks - Crazy Sock Day and today, Many Colored Days - wear your favorite color. Tomorrow, we pay tribute to Cat in the Hat by wearing hats!! Join us the rest of the week for the Read Across America Celebration!!

Traditions Portraits will be back on campus March 10th for the following pictures: 1) Cap & Gown Retakes (Seniors & Kindergarten) - Male students should wear a collard button-down white shirt & females need to have a tank on so that the collar of their shirt will not show. If you wish to bring your own gown and tassel for pictures, you may do so. **If you need a retake, please let Mrs. Huckabee know by Wednesday, March 8th** 2) Soccer & Basketball Pictures - individual and team pictures will be taken (both JH & HS) 3) Daycare ONLY Spring Pictures (we will send order forms home next week)

Our Varsity Boys Distance Runners traveled to Frankston this past week to compete in a practice meet as they gear up for the 2023 Track season. In true Tiger fashion, they made a terrific showing. Congratulations to these runners!!

Congratulations to our Lady Tiger Basketball Team on a great season and their All District Selections!!
