Tamanend Connections
We Are Together Tamanend!
Captain Bill Clarke of the Naval Supply Corps Addresses TMS on Veterans Day
Every year, Tamanend holds a beautiful Veteran Day Assembly. This year was made even more special for the number of veterans that joined us. We opened our Veterans Day Assembly with a Color Guard (Boy Scouts Ben D., Dom S., and Jason K.) parade of colors. Hannah B. and Samuella A. sang the Star Spangled Banner. Grace Q. and Phoebe R. read the Presidential Proclamation, Kat M. and Jonah S. shared Veterans Day History and Erin M. and Dominic R. read quotes from George Washington. Our 7th Grade Chorus, String Ensemble, 9th Grade Band and Chieftain Chorus performed. Capt. Clarke reminded students to continue to show their appreciation and gratitude to any military person they know or meet. He encouraged them to talk with family members who have served in the military and to learn of their experiences which have afforded us, as a country, the freedoms that we have. There was a short video "Returning Home" which touched the hearts of everyone. As our Chieftain Chorus sang "American Heroes," Andrew B. narrated and then led us into the Pledge of Allegiance and the audience joined in with "America the Beautiful."
We want to thank all veterans and their families for the sacrifices you have made in service to each of us and our country. Happy Veterans Day.
Thanksgiving Lunch
Aramark is again hosting a Thanksgiving Service Lunch on November 17th. If students and staff purchase a turkey lunch with lots of traditional fixin's to choose from as sides, Aramark will donate 10 cents worth of groceries to the Doylestown Food Pantry. What a great way to "give thanks!"
Some SUPER Facts about the November 14th SUPER Moon from TMS's SUPER Science Department!
A super moon results when the moon reaches its full moon phase at the closest point to Earth along the moon’s elliptical orbit, causing the moon to look somewhat bigger and brighter in the sky than usual.
- It will appear 15% bigger and 16% brighter than normal
- The high tides at the shore will be really high Spring Tides…ask an 8th grader what a Spring Tide is if you don’t know.
- Nov. 14th will be the brightest Super Moon since 1948!
- Next Super Moon of this magnitude will be Nov. 25, 2034!
- The Moon will rise around 5:20pm on Monday Nov. 14th and set around 6:30am on Tuesday Nov. 15th
- The forecast should allow for good viewing of the Super Moon here in our area: Partly cloudy skies in evening turning to cloudy skies overnight…catch the Super Moon just after it has risen above the horizon for optimal viewing!
