Second grade students in Rachael Wigoda's class at Tahoma Elementary School recently held a toy and food drive to benefit the Regional Animal Services of King County (RASKC) as a part of a larger discussion about what it means to be a community contributor and a great local citizen. What started as a class project turned into a school-wide initiative!
Tahoma High School Varsity Girls Soccer capped their regular season with a North Puget Sound League (NPSL) championship! After defeating Union High School in a must-win playoff match on Tuesday, Girls Varsity Soccer take on Kentwood High School at home (Maple View Middle School stadium) TONIGHT (Nov. 3) at 6 p.m., which could solidify their spot in the state playoffs!
In November we celebrate Native American Heritage Month, honoring the unique heritage of this continent’s First Peoples, and reaffirming the commitment to respect each tribe’s sovereignty and cultural identity. This is a time to celebrate the culture, contribution and accomplishments of people who were the first inhabitants of the United States.

Tahoma School District Land Acknowledgement

The Tahoma School District would like to acknowledge the Federally Recognized Muckleshoot Indian Tribe, the descendants of the Duwamish, and the ancestral keepers of the land we are gathered on today. We thank them for their immense contributions to our state and local history, culture, economy and identity as Washingtonians.
