  Faculty and staff have a blast with their "secret" Spirit Week

  11/26/2024
  Tenacre staff held a “secret” Spirit Week for the five days of school before Thanksgiving break, with staff showing up to school each day following a different theme:

  • Wearing socks with sandals
  • Drinking out of anything but a cup
  • Wearing all black
  • Dressing in fancy clothes
  • Dressing like a student

  Students grasped pretty quickly that something was going on, but staff were heard commenting that it was “such a coincidence” that everyone was dressing the same way or doing the same “strange” things. Staff rallied around this fun scheme with creative ideas, and students were delighted to see what each new day would bring! Click here to see all the photos!

  Students participate in all-school community service effort

  11/26/2024
  Tenacre students and staff participated in Spark Peace Project, a schoolwide community service project sponsored by Students Rebuild, a group that partners with other non-profit organizations to strengthen communities around the world. This is the 8th year Tenacre has engaged in an effort that includes schools and organizations around the world. In this project, each participant designed a piece of artwork that encourages a more compassionate and peaceful world. For each piece of artwork submitted to Students Rebuild, the community can raise $5 to support peacebuilding organizations such as Earth Tones, Choose Love, CARE, and Kids for Peace. Last year Tenacre raised a total of $910 for the Extraordinary Earth Project. At the completion of the project, an all-school photo was taken with students and staff holding their artwork.
