Valentine Week at Tionka School Highlights
Tionka School’s past week centered on Valentine activities. Kindergartners mailed fourteen hundred valentines with help from Carol and Marilyn of the high school. First graders held a Valentine week with a decorated box, royalty and postmen taking turns. They practiced money skills, division, and reading while crafting cards. Activities included a drama on an all water route to India, and eighth grade studies covered budgets, health topics, and dictionary use.
