  Artist shows how the beauty of wood can be inspiring

  4/22/2026
  Yesterday, Tenacre welcomed artist Tova Speter, whose all-school presentation inspired our community to look at wood from a different perspective. Tova finds leftover pieces of wood and reclaims them to create art that showcases the beauty and individuality of each piece. As Tova says, “I paint on scrap wood to highlight the often-overlooked beauty that will shine through when the time is taken to shift to a new perspective. Tova also worked with fifth graders in art class, when students created their own painted wood pieces that will be displayed at the bottom of the TAG hallway.

  Students engaged in Gwyn Loud Science Week workshops

  4/15/2026
  Tenacre’s Gwyn Loud Science Week is in its second week of interactive workshops, an annual tradition in which every grade participates in engaging science workshops facilitated by outside groups. Sixth graders kicked off this tradition last week by participating in a Discovery Museum workshop on physical matter, which included lessons on changing solids to liquids and solids to gases. Kindergarteners “excavated” for dinosaurs in an engaging workshop led by the Acton Discovery Museum. Pre-kindergarteners learned all about bees through a program that introduced them to a bee’s life cycle and how beekeepers care for them. And first and third graders went up close and personal to learn about horses at Dana Hall’s Karen W. Stive’s ’68 Equestrian Center. These workshops are funded by the Mittelman Family in honor of Gwyn Loud, a former Tenacre science teacher, assistant head of school, and co-head of school (1994–1995), who worked at Tenacre from 1980 to 2006.
