Tenaha Independent School District

The community spoke loud and clear with the results of the VATR Election, and we just want to take a moment to simply say THANK YOU! The VATRE passed 171 in favor to 51 against. Because of your overwhelming support, Tenaha ISD will not have to solely rely on the tax payers of our district for critical additional funding to ensure the quality teaching staff, exemplary extra-curricular activities such as our State Championship Band program and Playoff-bound Athletic teams, along with continued technology upgrades to keep our students advancing academically in today's ever-changing and globally expanding society. Over the next couple of years, we expect to see approximately $400,000 in additional funding for the District because of your support. Your votes will make a significant, positive impact on the future of Tenaha ISD. From all of us at Tenaha ISD, thank you!

On Friday, Mrs. Garcia added a new student to 2nd grade! As a result of having 98% attendance last six weeks, Mrs. Ward became a 2nd grader all day. She took her first reading Isip on Istation, won 1st on gimkit, found the sum of two digit numbers, read and took a test on "Pepita and the Bully," ran relays in PE, alphabetized words on Kahoot, creating with stem bins, played games in recess, and finished the day showing off her typing skills on typing.com. She may have gotten in trouble for talking in the hallway and called out by her classmates for having her phone out, too. She wants to thank her sweet classmates who helped her throughout the day and Mrs. Garcia who did not take it easy on her!

Congratulations to our elementary Tigers who earned a Tiger lanyard for the 2nd Six Weeks. This is not an easy task! They must have Terrific behavior, reach both Isip goals, have Great attendance (including tardies), and be Relentless in pe and music.

One of the hardest things to do in life is to keep going when things get too difficult. The 2nd Six Weeks character trait at TES was perseverance. These Tigers were chosen by their teachers because they saw them never give up, whether it be in academics, band, or pe. Great job, Tigers!
