HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Picture Update: If you ordered additional copies of your child's school picture, your reprints are now available for pickup from Michele in the front office.

Tandem’s Annual Battle of the Books: Our annual reading extravaganza for 5th and 6th grade students is beginning early this year. This will give students an opportunity to enjoy reading some of the books over the holiday break if they wish to. The 2010 Battle of the Books contest (always great fun!) will be held in February or March. Each book on the reading list is available in the Tandem Library. However, often we have only one copy of a particular title, so you may need to check at your local public library for additional copies. Please know that your student is not expected to read every book on the list. Students will work in mixed-grade teams of five or six students to read as many of the books as possible among the members of the team. Click here for the 2010 Battle of the Books reading list!

Emphasis 2010 Update: Emphasis 2010 groups have been published! Please check the list of Emphasis groups for your child's name. Each student will receive a letter from his or her group leader(s) prior to Winter Break regarding the cost of the student's Emphasis group and any other details of which you need to be aware. Please make payment in full to the student's Emphasis group leader as soon as possible. Checks should be made out to Tandem Friends School with the name of the Emphasis group listed on the memo line of the check. Any financial questions must be directed to the Business Manager. Please direct questions specific to your child's assigned group to the group's leaders. General questions about Emphasis can be directed to the Emphasis Committee through Carolena Saunders or Tolly Merrick.
