November 2015: Feast of Thanks


GIVING THANKS
An essential part of our work at TNHS is honoring the gifts within our community. As we move into the Thanksgiving holidays we that ask that you consider a student or staff member at TNHS as a way to celebrate!


FEAST OF THANKS

We are excited to invite our community into our school on Monday, November 23rd for our first annual Feast of Thanks. We have community members from across the county joining our students at their House Tables to give thanks. Click on the video above for further insight.
