I may be the luckiest and proudest principal in all the land. Tonka Nation kids are the most talented, caring, socially aware young people you’ll meet. So proud of tonight’s production of “Pippin”. The artistry and beautiful minds of Dr. Coffman and crew do it again! #ThisIsTonka

Congratulations to the NKC Schools Tonka Nation TonkaGriffinChoirs Winnetonka Theatre 🎭 Program student/actors & actresses, crew and Directors on an outstanding production of “Pippin!” #ThisIsTonka

District speech and debate coaches working hard on creating priority standards for the upcoming year. NKC Schools

Loved stopping in to say hello to this dedicated team of NKC Schools National Speech & Debate Association teachers! No doubt, some epic seasons of competition ahead for Oak Park Speech & Debate, Tonka Speech & Debate, NKC Speech & Debate, Staley High School Debate and NGMS Speech & Debate!

CDC masking recommendations now include indoors at schools. Add masks to the fall school supply list.

Tonka staff is ready to rock this school year! #thisistonka #tonkanation #truegrit NKC Schools Brian Mercer Tonka News

I think I'm going to have a kid make an OO about grape dehydration. It's all about raisin awareness. 🤣🤣🤣

The first dangerous cold snap of the season will affect the area this weekend...wind chill values will range from -5 to -20 Sat-Mon morning. Take this time to locate your weather gear since we haven't had to use it much this season and be prepared to dress appropriately.

A complex winter storm will begin developing on New Year's Eve. I do not want to get specific on amounts and impacts yet as there are still a lot of uncertainties. KC hasn't even had any snow this season. There is an Arctic Blast coming too. I have a detailed forecast at 6 PM!

Nothing like a winter storm to usher in the New Year. A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for Saturday, with frigid temperatures, and a mixed bag of precipitation types: snow, rain, freezing rain, sleet probably. We'll keep you up to date as we get closer. #NewYear2022 #Snow

Hey Twitter @TwitterSupport ! Why is there nearly a 24hr delay on notifications? These weather tweets are pretty worthless at this point.

Here is a look at our timing for snowfall overnight.

If you can judge at Staley/Tonka Feb 11-12, please sign up so our kids can compete at their last invitational tournament! tinyurl.com/2022FebForumJu… Staley Speech & Debate Tonka Speech & Debate

Due to inclement weather, there will be no school for NKC Schools Wednesday, February 2. Stay safe everyone and enjoy your snow day!

THANK YOU judges, coaches, competitors, tournament workers and custodial staff for helping us have another successful Northland February Forum! 🎉 A special thank you to Tonka Speech & Debate for co-hosting with us!!😁 We appreciate everyone’s hard work and dedication this weekend!💚🖤

I just found out that Jason Sudeikis is a National Speech & Debate Association alumn and it makes total sense and I am geeking out and there is no need for punctuation because it is little things that bring me a lot of joy and oh my goodness will the next season of Ted Lasso come out NOW please

A) the online lobbying has begun B) NWS has upped their snowfall accumulation estimate 6 of one, half dozen of the other?

Love and warm embraces for the family and those affected by this tragic situation. kmbc.com/article/teache…
