Main Street Voices Poetry Winners!
We are proud to share that two of our Tamanend Poets are winners in the Main Street Voices Poetry Contest this year. This contest is open to all residents of Bucks County, with monetary awards given to winners in the adult and student categories. Four award-winning poets will judge the contest, including three former Bucks County Poets Laureate and a professor at Bucks County Community College.
Seventh Grade student, Sienna S., won first prize for her poem titled "Mirrors."
Ninth Grade Student, John K., won third prize for his “Where I’m From” poem.
Sienna and John will be recognized at a reception and reading at the The James Lorah House in Doylestown this Saturday. Congratulations to both!

An Update from the R4L Committee
As emailed on 5/17/18
There are many balancing acts that need to happen in order for an event of this size to be successful. One of those is the confluence of the weather, the safety of our attendees, the importance of celebrating the hard work of our students, and the necessity to be good stewards of the property of Central Bucks School District.
Saturday’s forecast calls for additional rainfall with the possibility of evening thunderstorms. Using this information, we have adjusted our plans accordingly.
Here’s a glimpse of what Saturday will look like:
- Arrival/registration times, survivor/caregiver breakfast, and our noon opening ceremony remain unchanged
- At 12:30pm, the top three teams from each building will be treated to lunch in the cafeteria, courtesy of Moe’s Southwest Grill
- The event will end at 2pm
Logistics of these changes:
- The infield of the track will be closed – chaperones, we really need your help with this one
- Participants may bring rain gear, umbrellas, or tailgate chairs – no tents
- Teams that were planning on conducting fundraisers may do so in front of and on the bleachers closest to the building
- All of our food trucks will be open but parked on the blacktop instead of on the grass
- All shuttle service will run until everyone is where they need to be prior to and at the conclusion of the event
- Individuals who purchased luminaries may pick them up at the information tent and take them home
These types of calls are never easy and often elicit all types of emotions. The bottom line: we have still raised close to $200,000 in the fight against cancer and that is an amazing accomplishment. We will still be able to recognize and celebrate our survivors and caregivers, students will still have a chance to have social time with their peers, and we will preserve the integrity of our facilities. There’s nothing that anyone can do about the weather except take this challenge in stride, treat the day as more of a drop-in food truck festival, and be so thankful that we are fortunate enough to be part of the experience and the fight against cancer.
Thank you for your support throughout the past few months and thank you for your help in making sure that we still have a positive, fun, and meaningful event on Saturday.
Sincerely,
The Relay For Life Committee

Freshman Move Up Day
Mark your calendars... On May 30th Central Bucks High School South is hosting its first ever Freshman Move Up Day! Tamanend and Unami 9th graders will travel to South to meet students and staff who are excited to support their transition to high school. Our 9th grade students and teachers will leave Tamanend by school bus at 9 AM, and return at 10:45 AM. They will be welcomed by their soon-to-be House Principal, Ms. Pustay. After opening introductions, students will participate in a few activities and then return to Tamanend. Parents/Guardians, please contact the Main Office if you have questions or you do not wish your student to travel to CB South on this day.
