For our first Tahoma Matters of the new year, we have a special message from Tahoma's Director of Equity and Family Partnerships, Tony Davis. Hear about our focus on moving closer to our district's vision of "quality learning every day, in every classroom, for every child."

We want to give a HUGE shoutout to Tahoma High School’s “We the People” team, who brought home a first-place victory from the Washington State We the People Championship. They are headed to Washington, D.C. in April for the National Competition, which will simulate a congressional hearing and will take place in real congressional hearing rooms on Capitol Hill. We are so proud of these outstanding young adults and the way they represent Tahoma!

At Tahoma's December 14, 2022 home wrestling dual, alumni from the 2012 state champion wrestling team were welcomed back to the den to be inducted into the Tahoma Wrestling Hall of Fame. Hear from Coach Feist and some champion wrestlers about the impact this program has made on their lives.

"Reflections" is a National PTA art contest for students in grades K-12. Each year, students are invited to reflect on a theme, then create an original work of art in the areas of dance choreography, music composition, film production, literature, photography and the visual arts. This year's theme was "show your voice."

This year's Reflection Celebration took place at Maple View Middle School, where students from Shadow Lake Elementary, Glacier Park Elementary, Summit Trail Middle, Maple View Middle and Tahoma High School participated. Several students from across the district qualified for the state level competition, and ALL students created amazing works of art!

Reminder: No school on Monday, Jan. 16 (MLK Day) AND Wednesday, Jan. 25 (Semester Break Day).
