Tamanend Connections
We Are Together Tamanend!
Red Ribbon Edition 2012
What Is National Red Ribbon Week?
TMS Red Ribbon Week
Tamanend has long participated in National Red Ribbon Week by getting an aerial photo, or signing Red Ribbons as a show of our commitment to be drug-free. This year during Red Ribbon week and next, Tamanend students will learn about the dangers of drugs, alcohol and tobacco while engaging in a door-decorating contest sponsored by our Student Council.
Parents: The Anti-Drug
Research shows that parents are the best anti-drug. It matters to our kids that parents don't approve of thier use of drugs, alchohol and tobacco. Here is a great web site to help parents "talk straight" with their children about the dangers of drugs and other risky behaviors...
Thank You, CB Cares!
We are grateful to CB Cares for helping to fund our Red Ribbon efforts this year! We purchased the official Red Ribbon banner with this year's theme "The Best Me is Drug Free" which hangs in the Library Hall where all students can see it. Also with CB Cares' support, our students will receive some great Red Ribbon "SWAG" ("Stuff We All Get") in the form of bracelets.
To the left is a clever anti-drug advertisement co-sponsored by CB Cares. CB Cares offers many supports and activities for parents, students and our schools. Check out the link below to learn more about CB Cares and how they can help you.

Highlighted in a Previous TMS Update:
- We need parents, students and staff for our Wellness Committee. If you are interested in helping with a fitness program after school, starting a vegetable garden in our courtyard, or have some other ideas to help our students and staff "go green" and stay fit, please contact Mrs. Mary McDonald, Mrs. Lauren Myrtetus and Ms. Brenda Scheffey about becoming involved in our Wellness Committee.
- Mrs. Myrtetus, TMS School Nurse, will be collecting clean, gently used coats from Tamanend families for CBSD families who need them from Monday, October 15 through Wednesday, October 31. Please conceal previous ownership by removing family names from the coat(s). For more information on this 19-year CB service project, click here.
- Tamanend will hold its Veteran’s Day Assembly on November 9th. As part of our assembly, we are asking for photos of Tamanend students pictured with military personnel to be presented as a video montage. The photos of TMS students can include both current students and alumni. If you have pictures to share, please submit them to Mr. Brian Blair by November 1, 2012 or email him at bblair@cbsd.org.
Students currently taking an Algebra course will take the PA Keystone Exam in Algebra this year, unless they took the Algebra Keystone two years ago and were proficient. The following is a link with more information about the PA Keystone Exams: http://www.cbsd.org/curriculum/assessment/Pages/PA-Keystone-Exams.aspx.
Please read and share with others our "TMS Points of Pride."
