Pre-K sings "The Tenacre Song"
This morning Tenacre pre-kindergarteners took to the stage to sing "The Tenacre Song” for their parents and Big Friends in fourth grade. This was the Pre-Kers first opportunity to perform on stage, and they received enthusiastic applause! "The Tenacre Song” is considered the school’s alma mater. It was written by Phyllis Scoboria, who was Tenacre’s head of school from 1952 to 1972. -

Bionic Project inspires Tenacre students
This morning, Tenacre welcomed Bionic Project, Inc. as part of the TPA's enrichment programming. The Cambridge-based nonprofit was founded in 2018 by amputee runner Will Borden with a mission to challenge disability bias and foster inclusivity through education and adaptive sports. The organization partners with schools to bring elite adaptive athletes into classrooms for workshops focused on assistive technology and building empathy.During today's visit, Bionic Project led separate assemblies tailored to younger and older students, then moved into hands-on workshops for fourth- and sixth-graders. Students in both grades put their creativity to work brainstorming ways to make different parts of life more accessible and welcoming for people with disabilities. Sixth graders had an additional opportunity to apply what they learned when they took part in an adaptive sports clinic during their P.E. class.
