Field Day always a highlight for students!
Tenacre had a beautiful day for Field Day last Friday, when the whole community gathered on the fields for fun and games. Under sunny skies, students from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade played a variety of games throughout the morning.

Fourth graders bring the world to Tenacre
Fourth graders brought the world to Tenacre this morning as they unveiled their Country Study projects at the Country Bazaar. Working in small groups, students dove deep into one of six countries spanning the continents of Oceania, Europe, South America, Africa, and Asia — drawing on World Book Online and print resources to explore each nation's culture, geography, and economy. They then channeled that research into individual presentations, complete with expository paragraphs, hand-crafted clay maps, and original travel videos. The result was an impressive showcase of curiosity, creativity, and scholarship.
