NED Show
The children at Tawanka were treated to a special program last month entitled The NED Show. The program reinforced Tawanka’s Empowered Eagles Behaviors: Be Respectful, Be Responsible and Be Safe! All while doing gravity defying yo-yo tricks, the presenter discussed positive behavior goals with the students who watched the show in awe. NED, her side-kick cardboard friend, made the show, and brought a lightness to the show, and his name helps point out ways to be successful.
N - Never give UP!
E - Encourage Others!
D - Do your Best!
By selling yo-yo’s here at Tawanka, we were able to provide the NED show to two other schools by “paying it forward!” Proceeds from another school’s yo-yo sales, afforded Tawanka the opportunity to see the show in the first place! Doing good for others is what it is all about. Then before you know it, that goodness continues to spread!
Thank you to our families for purchasing the yo-yo’s and allowing other school’s to receive these very important messages!

1st Grade
Mrs. Mannherz’s first grade teamed up with Mrs. Piccinetti to learn about penguins. In library class Mrs. Piccinetti taught the class how to do research on penguins using Pebble Go on the Ipads. Then, using the research information Mrs. Mannherz’s students created informational writings to go along with their penguins.
And don't forget the 1st Grade Book Showcase @ 6:30pm on 3/30/2017!
2nd Grade SOCK Hop
Second Graders are participating in a community outreach activity. We are collecting SOCKS for A Woman's Place to distribute at the end of the month. We are collecting socks for babies, children and women. Mrs. Kerns, from a Woman's Place, came out to visit us and told us all about their community work! On March 31st we will wear crazy socks and participate in a 2nd grade SOCK HOP!!
4th Grade
March was full of many fun and exciting opportunities for the Fourth grade class. The month began with a celebration for Dr. Seuss’s birthday where students enjoyed “Seuss” based activites with their lower grade buddies. Students also engaged in our first Read Across Tawanka read-in. Students were able to get comfortable to enjoy their favorite book(s). Tawanka fourth graders had the opportunity to join others from the Neshaminy class of 2025, as we traveled to Neshaminy High School to enjoy a concert by the Select Choir, Jazz Band and Orchestra. The month ended with many students showing their talents as performers, stage crew and MCs in the first annual TAWANKA’s GOT TALENT ! It was a memorable event.
