Virtue Word for the Week of October 10th-14th
To be tolerant is to accept differences. You don't expect others to think, look, speak, or act just like you. Tolerance is being free of prejudice, knowing that all people have feelings, needs, hopes, and dreams. To be tolerant also means to accept things you wish were different with flexibility and patience.

Way to go Tanaina's Cross Country Team!
We are SO proud of our Cross Country Team!
Not only did they do a fabulous job at the meet, but they also were told by their bus driver that they were "High Class Kids" because of how well behaved they were on the bus. At the meet, they received several compliments for showing good sportsmanship.
What an AWESOME representation of Tanaina!
Thanks to Coach Shaw, Coach Stocker, and Coach Netzley for setting such high standards for our athletes.
