Tenaha Homecoming - October
14, 2009
Submitted by Judy Owens
There is excitement in the air this
week as Tenaha students, parents,
and teachers prepare for the 56th
annual homecoming at Tenaha High School.
Students got into the spirit of things
with spirit week! It was wild and
wacky as students participated in
mismatch day, Twin Day, We Mean Business
Day, Team Day, and Maroon Day. Teachers,
parents, and students are busy preparing
floats for the “Tiger Magic”
Homecoming Parade. Nine lovely young
ladies prepare for their debut as
the Tenaha High School Homecoming
Court.
Twin Day
Saturday should be a beautiful day
for Homecoming festivities. Homecoming
activities will kick off with the
annual Lisa Crawford Alumni golf Tournament.
This year’s Golf Tournament
will begin at 8am. There is still
time to register to play just call
Marie Crawford at 936-248-3381 or
936-590-2767. All proceeds will benefit
the Tenaha ISD Scholarship Fund.
Following the golf tournament will
be the annual Children’s Pet
Show at 11am on the Tenaha Square.
Children 12 years and under can show
off any type of pet as long as they
are on a leash or in a carrier. Pets
will be judged on the following categories;
best dressed, best trick, and cutest.
To register a pet for the show contact
Pat Sims at 936-248-5000 ext. 401.
We Mean Business Day
From Noon to 2pm will be the Booster
Club Lunch on the Square, and the
parade will begin at 2pm. This year
the Grand Marshall of the parade will
be Inez Peddy Pool, a 1933 graduate
of Tenaha High School. Accompanying
Ms. Pool will be the Walter C. Peddy
family. They will be recognized for
their family members that have graduated
from Tenaha High School.
The Alumni Reception and Open House
in the new High School will begin
at 2:30 and last until 4:30pm. Everyone
is invited to come and visit with
old friends, meet new ones, and tour
the new High School. The Pre-game
activities, which will include crowning
the 2009 Homecoming Queen, will begin
at 7pm. Kick off for the game between
the Tigers and Waskom Wildcats will
be at 7:30pm.
This year is sure to be a banner
year for Tenaha ISD. Homecoming is
a reflection of all that has been
accomplished and a peek into the future
of that which will be achieved. |
