Please keep your lunch accounts current.  The school has a Board Policy that addresses lunch account balances. The policy states that an email will be sent when the account balance is at $5.00 or below, and that when an account is at $0 or below, extra items (a la carte) are not allowed. It also states what happens when a balance gets to -$100 and -$300. Read the Board Policy or information letter here for more information. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

TEA Scholarship Fundraiser: The Treynor Education Association is raising funds to help provide a scholarship opportunity for graduating seniors. To support this scholarship the TEA is selling short and long sleeve shirts through Marcot Merch. Help support our students and our teachers by buying a shirt today.  Order closes November 1,2025.

Treynor Local Scholarships: If your business or family would like to sponsor a scholarship for a Treynor High School senior, you can reach out to Danie Floerchinger at dfloerchinger@treynorcardinals.org. The scholarship name would join this list of available scholarships. Families/committees would then select the recipient(s).

The Fall 2025 Highlights Newsletter was recently released. Read it at this link to learn what it means to be a Treynor Cardinal, where excellence is expected, achieved and celebrated.  You can also read the KMA article which includes an interview with Dr. Joel Beyenhof.

Treynor Jr/Sr Prom News: The prom theme for this year’s prom will be Enchanted Garden. Prom will be held on April 18, 2026, at The Palace Event Center. The Junior Class School Fundraiser through 30PoP! will begin October 22nd and run for 10 days. This will be the only fundraiser we will have for the school side of things. Each junior student needs to fund raise or pay $135 to help put on the prom dinner and dance. If a junior or senior brings an outside date or a Treynor freshman or sophomore, there is an additional $35 fee. These funds pay for our venue, dinner, DJ, and other incidentals such as table linens and decorations. This has been a highly successful fundraiser for us in the past, and we hope it is again. Any support is appreciated!

This fundraiser is separate from post-prom fundraisers, and the two groups do not share money; we are all working to make prom a spectacular and safe event for our students!

Check out TNN - Treynor News Network website for their latest videos. TNN is run by High School Journalism students who create broadcast videos. This class is under the direction of teacher Mrs. Erica Schnepel.
