  • Sixth graders present assembly about school theme of Pride

    Tenacre sixth graders presented an all-school assembly this morning about the 2023-2024 school theme of Pride. Sixth graders voted on the theme last spring and said they were drawn to Pride because it is connected to school pride, team pride, family pride, class pride, and personal pride. During the assembly, sixth graders said that they see school pride as a way of promoting unity. “As a Tenacre community, this year we can share pride in the work we do, how we treat others, and how we care for our school,” explained a sixth grader during the assembly. The sixth-grade class is initiating a school-wide project to foster a feeling of school pride. Each homeroom will create a green and white paper “pride chain.” Every student will receive a strip of green or white paper, write their name on one side and something they have done to feel proud on the other side. The goal is to create a paper chain with the participation of every student and staff member. The finished paper chain will be hung in the Tenacre Art Gallery for everyone to see.
