school. Kindergarten teachers Rhonda
Patterson and Amy Collins chose this
day to emphasis the number 100. Students
enjoyed activities through out the
day that featured the number 100.
Students created posters with 100
objects on them, ate sausage and donuts
that were in the shape of 100, popped
100 balloons, blew out 100 candles
on cupcakes, and counted to 100. With
only 77 more student days left, the
students aren’t the only ones

 The
District Cross Examination (CX) Debate
was held at Panola College Monday,
January 25th. Tenaha High School was
represented by team members, Reginald
Davis and Octavius Griffith. Reginald
and Octavius finished third in the
competition.
This event involves training students
to analyze a problem, conduct research
regarding a certain topic, and presenting
a convincing argument for or against
a given proposition. Martha Boren,
Director of Academic Affairs, sponsors
the debate team. “This experience
provides the students with invaluable
critical thinking skills, the ability
to defend ideas and to respond to
invalid ones, as well develop an appreciation
for other points of view,” stated
Martha Boren. The CX Debate team now
qualifies for runner-up at the State
competition to be held in Austin,
Tx at the University of Texas campus
on March 15th-16th. |
