Dear Members of the Tehama Oaks Community,

At Tehama Oaks, we believe that education is not only about imparting knowledge but also about instilling values, resilience, and a lifelong love for learning.

The Red Ribbon Week 2023 Poster and Essay Contest was won by one of our very own Tehama Oaks School Youth. Out of all the essay entries in Tehama County, they won second place for the high school entries! They wrote an essay on how caffeine is a stimulant and can be just as addicting as drugs. The prize was a gift basket with art supplies, a $20 Dutch Bros gift card, a $14 gift card to Baskin Robins, and a Uno card game! We are very proud of the dedication and effort put into their submission. Congratulations and keep up the great work!
