TJ Student Spotlight
"Nicholas is a leader because he always does what's right! He follows the rules and works hard in school!"
-Mrs. Rhyner
Literacy Night
Kindergarten through third-grade students were read Rin, Rin, Rin/Do, Re, Mi by Jose Luis Orozco in English and Spanish. Third through fifth-grade students read the book My name is, Me llamo Celia: The Life of Celia Cruz by Monica Brown. Delicious food from Casa de Campo Resutraunte in Bethlehem was served in the gym, and we ended the night with some salsa dancing!
We would like to say thank you to the Liberty High School students, the Gamma Sigma Sigma service sorority from Moravian University, and staff members of TJ. We could not have done this without you!
Welcome Moravian Students!

Dinning Services Team Message
Hello Parents and Guardians,
As many of you may have heard, Governor Tom Wolf has announced that Breakfast Meals will be FREE to ALL students, regardless of household eligibility, starting on Monday, October 3rd through the end of the 22-23 school year. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and helps your student(s) have higher energy, improved concentration and better test scores throughout the day. Plus, it tastes great! Take advantage saving some time and money this school year with FREE Breakfast!
Lunch meals are no longer universally free for the 22-23 school year. However, your child might still be eligible for free & reduced-price lunch meals. Click here to view the eligibility guidelines and access our online application. If you have not yet completed an application for the 22-23 school year, your child(ren)'s eligibility for free or reduced-price meals may expire on October 12th. Have the peace of mind that your child is receiving healthy and nutritious breakfast and lunch meals every day at school. It’s vital to their growth and development.
Don’t forget to check out the Dining Services page for newsletters, menus and nutritional info!
Thank you,
