Congratulations to the following students for receiving Honorable Mention in the C-SPAN Student Cam Competition:

Luke W., & Srikar Y. for "The Tipping Point"

Emma B., Andrew B., & Akaash S. for "Drawing the Line"

The video challenge was to respond to the prompt: "Your message to Washington: What is the most urgent issue for the new president and Congress to address in 2017?" Each of our honored student groups will be awarded $250 and their videos will air on C-SPAN. Representatives from C-SPAN will come to Tamanend later in the year to recognize these students. Additionally, the C-SPAN News Bus will once again visit Tamanend for students to see.

We thank Mr. Gary Weckselblatt of The Intelligencer for helping to share this incredible news. Click here to read the article.

Freshman Day and Dance are tentatively slated for June 9th, 2017. These events are only for currently enrolled ninth grade Tamanend students as it is a special time set aside for our 9th graders to enjoy a final remembrance of their middle school years. You will notice, it is called the “Freshman Dance” and not the “Freshman Prom.” While our Freshman Dance is truly special, there is plenty of time in our students' lives for prom dresses, tuxedos, limos, and fancy proposals for dates. Whether students arrive at the dance in groups, by themselves, or in pairs, they all experience a wonderful time. Please remind your child of this fact when discussion of Freshman Day begins.
