CBSD September Boomerang Honoree
Pictured above are the Advisory students and proud parents of Kelli D., CBSD Boomerang Honoree for September. Kelli, a 9th grader at TMS, walks around our school with a smile, greeting everyone as she passes. She is described as dedicated, passionate, and caring. She has an understated leadership in all she does, and that is a lot... she is an athlete, musician, thespian, and service leader. Kelli is always asking for ways to do more and to give back to her school; this demonstrates her commitment to making our school community a positive place for everyone.
We thank Mrs. Nancy Santacecilia and all of CB Cares Educational Foundation for partnering with our CB schools to create a community that provides positive opportunities and recognizes students who make positive contributions. We also thank Mrs. Lisa Mancini and Miss Grace Connell for making Boomerang a part of Tamanend's culture and spirit! Click her to see Mrs. Santacecilia's presentation to Kelli.

Books for Bucks County
Are you ready to make a difference? Do you want to help spread literacy one page at a time? If so, consider supporting the Books for Bucks County Book Donation Drive starting this week in our school. Our district and school will be collecting new books throughout the week for the United Way of Bucks County. We will have a donation box in our lobby for one week. The new books purchased will go to the needy families and children throughout Bucks County. We have two book stores in Doylestown ready to offer a discount for any purchases made there, or you can drop off a new purchase in our box this week. Thank you for considering as together we support our own communities, spreading the joy and comfort of reading, one page, one book, at a time.
Upcoming Events
Tamanend Parent Council
Parent Council is an open meeting where all parents are welcome to attend to learn more about Tamanend Middle School. Parent Council typically meets on the third Thursday of each month at 9 a.m. There is no obligation to attend all Parent Councils and there are no elected positions. Parent Council is a forum for parents and school leaders to learn from and with each other, together.
At this month's Parent Council, we will observe some classrooms and discuss what we observed.
