To our Tenino Community,
Last week, the Special Election EP&O Levy was certified. The results showed that just over 55% of voters approved the renewal of our Educational Programs and Operations Levy. We would like to send a huge THANK YOU to our community! The successful passing of the levy reflects the community's commitment to Tenino students, staff and our schools. Together, we are building a brighter future for Tenino students and our community!

The Japanese 3 class at Tenino High School had a special guest this week! Ms. Leslie Brooks came to teach students Ikebana and they turned out beautiful! ๐ฟ๐ธ๐บ๐น๐ท๐ผ๐
Ikebana is the Japanese art of flower arrangement. It is also known as kadล. The tradition dates back to Heian period, when floral offerings were made at altars. Later, flower arrangements were instead used to adorn the tokonoma of a traditional Japanese home.
Thank you Ms. Leslie Brooks for taking time out of your day to visit our school!
This week is National School Counseling Week! We are so grateful for Ms. Mattson at Parkside and Tenino Elementary, Ms. Hopkins at Tenino Middle School and Ms. Dauer at Tenino High School! Thank you for all you do to support our schools and students!

Freshman Nataliah Chacon also will be advancing as an alternate after suffering an injury in the placing rounds.
Some of our Kindergarten students at Parkside drew monsters and Tenino High School Art 1 students sewed them into stuffies using felt! The best part was getting to walk them over for a special hand delivery!
The connections that many of our high school students share with our younger students and the presence that they have in our elementary schools, are so special. From classroom TA's to projects like this one, it is so exciting to see these connections!
