On Monday at our School Board Meeting, Mrs. Jeannie Crain and some of the THS Choir students joined us to sing some Christmas carols. They sounded amazing and it's always great to have students and staff at our meetings. 🎅🎄🎼🎹
If you'd like to hear them in person, the joint TMS/THS Holiday Choir Concert is this evening at Tenino High School beginning at 7pm.

Tenino School District staff members are finding ways to bridge the funding gap to help enrich and enhance our students' educational experiences. One way to accomplish this is by applying for grants.

Congratulations to PES staff: Karla Zehm ($100), Raelynn Goodwin ($100), Kristi Schow ($100) and Colleen Taylor ($250) and TES staff: Samantha Lawton ($100).
In addition, Kathy Slease and Karla Zehm were each awarded $200 from the TwinStar Credit Union Classroom Cash Grant.
