Kindergarten
All of the students in Kindergarten met in the pod to act out ways to be Tawanka Eagles. Each class had volunteers who showed the rest of the students how to be respectful, responsible and safe. Our little ones are ready to soar!

Third Grade
Third Graders are getting used to the routines of school. We practice staying organized with our binders every day to build good work habits. Students are making new friends, and being taught the expectations of good citizens. Teachers are looking for students to demonstrate good character traits. Also, keep sending in those Box Tops for our upcoming contest!
Fourth Grade
Congratulations to our summer reading challenge recipients!
Art
Hi, my name is Katie Houser. I am the new art teacher here at Tawanka Elementary. I am very excited to start the year here. I am currently enrolled at Arcadia University, where I will obtain my masters in Connected Learning and STEM. I received my bachelors in Art Education at Kutztown University back in 2011. I have taught art for about 6 years. Art is very important in our students’ lives. I believe fostering creativity won't just increase your child’s chances of becoming a famous artist but it is also helping them develop mentally, socially, and emotionally. Art is fun, creative and innovative and I want my students to grow each year. I always tell my students in class, “Artist never have clean hands”. I want them walking out of my class with a smile on their face knowing they are artist and they created something amazing!

SWPBS News
Today was our very first pick a chip Friday! Congratulations to our 3 winners.
TAWANKA TOKENS are given when a child is caught doing the right thing. For example, walking in the hallway, helping others, taking care of school supplies and playing with materials in a safe manner. The TOKEN is actually a sticker and a telephone call usually follows congratulating the family. Additionally, the Empowered Eagle gets his/her name on the Principal’s 200 board and earns the chance to win a prize. They are a special recognition.
We are looking forward to a great year at Tawanka, where “We build futures.”
On Monday September 17th teachers from 1st - 4th grades reviewed the Tawanka expectations with their classes. One picture includes the 1st Grade pod winners from the drawing for filling out the home SWPBS form. Parents were asked to review and discuss the expectations of being respectful, responsible and safe with their children.
