  Students engaged in Gwyn Loud Science Week workshops

  4/15/2026
  Tenacre’s Gwyn Loud Science Week is in its second week of interactive workshops, an annual tradition in which every grade participates in engaging science workshops facilitated by outside groups. Sixth graders kicked off this tradition last week by participating in a Discovery Museum workshop on physical matter, which included lessons on changing solids to liquids and solids to gases. Kindergarteners “excavated” for dinosaurs in an engaging workshop led by the Acton Discovery Museum. Pre-kindergarteners learned all about bees through a program that introduced them to a bee’s life cycle and how beekeepers care for them. And first and third graders went up close and personal to learn about horses at Dana Hall’s Karen W. Stive’s ’68 Equestrian Center. These workshops are funded by the Mittelman Family in honor of Gwyn Loud, a former Tenacre science teacher, assistant head of school, and co-head of school (1994–1995), who worked at Tenacre from 1980 to 2006.

  Collaborative art piece now adorns wall in Design Center

  4/8/2026
  Tenacre’s Design Center officially opened last June, but to kick off the 2025–2026 school year, Tenacre art teachers Molly Rosenthal and Frances Rodriguez created a collaborative art project in which every Tenacre student would leave their mark—literally. The result is a unique and colorful piece that was recently installed on the third floor of the Design Center, home to Tenacre’s three beautiful art rooms. Each student contributed two ceramic thumbprints to this collaborative work. The thumbprints represent every child’s individuality, while honoring the strength of our collective creativity. Coral reefs inspired the final design, referencing the natural, joyful evolution of Tenacre’s campus growth.

  First Grade Entrepreneurs: Economics in Action

  4/8/2026
  First graders recently completed an economics unit in which they learned about concepts such as goods, services, producers, consumers, supply and demand, and price fluctuations. They put their newly learned economics knowledge to use by creating their own businesses, developing business plans, and producing products or providing services. For the final part of the unit, students bought and sold goods from each other’s businesses. Students applied their math skills as they conducted transactions and made change using play money. This experiential learning unit proved both engaging and educational for Tenacre’s young entrepreneurs.
