Giving for Thanksgiving
Submitted by Sra. Mars
Our 8th grade Advisory students and families, with the support of other Tamanend families and staff, provided Thanksgiving meals complete with turkey, stuffing, gravy, fresh and canned vegetables, bread, pies and cookies to 15 Tamanend families this year. Special thanks to 9th grade NJHS officers Danny K., Erin S., Delaney O. and Haley S. for organizing the project and to several other NJHS members for sorting and packing the contributions after school.
8th Grade Philadelphia Trip
Submitted by Mrs. McFarland
8th grade students experienced historic Philadelphia and the brand new Museum of the American Revolution. Students went on a guided tour of the Museum of the American Revolution and got to smell the tea dumped into the harbor, listen to the sounds of battle, see the weapons used, touch a section of the last living Liberty Tree. Additionally, they explored such historic sites as Christ Church, Independence Hall, and Franklin Court. It was an epic and revolutionary trip!
English Language Developement Dinner at Barclay
Spanish 1 students Jessica K., Dylan B., Jonathon P., Ian S., and Morgan S. participated in the first English Language Development dinner at Barclay Elementary. These Tamanend students used their new Spanish skills to welcome and converse with families of English Language Development students from Barclay while sharing dinner and dessert. The students interacted with families from a variety of homelands including Ecuador, Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador and Puerto Rico.

Attorney General's Office on Cyberbullying
On Wednesday, November 15th, we were excited to host Mr. David Shallcross and Mr. Anthony Luker from the Office of the Attorney General. They presented to our 7th and 8th graders on bullying, along with other behaviors when using technology. The presentation was interactive, where student input was appreciated. Our “Junior Agents” showed their RoAR while participating in discussions during the assembly. Students then met with their Tiger’s Eye group’s to further discuss this important topic and help us identify how we can recognize these behaviors and what to do about it.
The acronym, “IMPACT”, can help us remember how to appropriately handle a situation on social media.
Make an IMPACT online
Ignore the bully
Manage your reaction (don’t retaliate!)
Plan what to do
Alert an Adult
Civil Behavior
Think before you type!!!
