Message from the Superintendent
In a time when our Bristol Township community is feeling uncertain and fearful during the Russia-Ukraine war, we must do our best to be resilient and Tiger Strong for our students. It is difficult to talk about conflicts and wars, especially with our children and students, so I would like to share these resources with you from the American Psychological Association.
Tips for parents and teachers of elementary school children
Tips for parents and teachers of middle school children
Tips for parents and teachers of high school / teen children
I hope these provide you with some help and guidance while navigating these times. Stay safe everyone.

Donation Drive for UECC Ukranian center
Victoria Tangradi, special education teacher at Truman High School, organized a donation drive for the UECC Ukrainian Center in Jenkintown. Her parents and family immigrated from Lviv, Ukraine in 1975, so she wanted to do something to help.
Within two days, Truman staff contributed so many items that it filled one pick-up truck, two SUVs and one car! Also, a special thank you to Mat’s Pharmacy and Medical Supply in Croydon for donating 10 boxes of medical supplies, which will make a huge impact! Pictured is Victoria’s son with the pick-up truck of donations.
Please note the UECC Center is halting donations for now as they’ve received many donations to organize.
International Women's Day Conference
Thirty young women leaders in grades 9-12 and Truman’s Assistant Principal Dawn Martesi attended the Lower Bucks County Chamber of Commerce’s International Women’s Day Conference at Jericho Country Club in Doylestown. Truman students networked with 150 women from a plethora of professional fields and listened to many inspiring women in the fields of medicine, technology and business.
Keynote speaker Beth Allen and founder of HIP Chicks (Home Improvement Project Chicks) spoke about “flushing your fear and finding your power.” Her talk inspired students to embrace taking risks and silence any inner negative voices that may hinder their confidence. Truman students left the conference making many connections and already began following up with them about opportunities.

Seniors Amy Guzman and Joshua Mangold both had portraits selected for the show. Josh created a self-portrait while Amy created a portrait of her mom in her teenage years.
