Tenaha Independent School District

**Attention Tenaha ISD Students!** Each year, the Department of Education chooses a theme for Hispanic Heritage Month, and this year’s theme is **"Pioneers of Change: Shaping the Future Together."** To celebrate, Tenaha ISD will host an art contest for students in three grade divisions: K-2, 3-6, and 7-12. The 1st place prize in each division will be **$50 CASH!** Entry dates will run from **September 25th through October 11th**. Students in grades K-6 should turn in their entries to **Mrs. Sisk**, while students in grades 7-12 can submit theirs to **Mr. Leos**. Please remember that all exhibits must be original works; no entries from kits or pre-cut materials will be accepted. You may use 8 1/2 x 11 paper, construction paper, or half a page of poster board. Make sure not to write your name on the front of your entry; instead, write your name and grade level on the back. All art entries will be judged by community members, and we are excited to see your creativity! Good luck! 🌟🎉

We survived Friday the 13th, a full moon, and HOCO week! These Tigers earned our last red positive office referrals for the first six weeks. We also had some students sent to the office for excellent behavior today and got a tattoo from Mrs. Ward. We will begin a new six weeks next Tuesday! Be on the lookout for report cards and more awards next week as well. We hope to see all of you at the parade tomorrow.

Each six weeks at TES, our staff is on the lookout for positive character traits we want to see in our Tigers. Our 1st six weeks was all about respect: being respectful to our peers, teachers, and staff members. Mrs. Ward was proud to announce this six week's respect awards to these students. Congratulations to their families as well because we know this behavior starts at home.

🌟 Attention Parents! 🌟 Just a friendly reminder that all fundraiser packets and money are due immediately! Please make sure to bring the packets to the elementary office or send them with your child by tomorrow at the latest. The company is picking up orders next week, and any forms or money that aren’t submitted won’t be processed. Let’s make this fundraiser a success! Thank you for your support! 🙌
