Bristol Township School District
May 2024
Letter from the Superintendent
Dear Bristol Township School Community,
I hope today finds you well as we head into June.
As I write this, there are only nine days left in this school year, and it is an exciting time as we celebrate our students' achievements in academics, the arts, athletics and activities.
We had a lot of fun and rewarding events across the district this past month, such as Truman's Senior Prom, our Unified Track Meet, BTSD Baseball at Thunder Park and our Transition Banquet.
As featured in this newsletter, our students continue to do great things, as demonstrated by Truman High School being honored nationally for innovative learning practices, Truman seniors being recognized for their accomplishments, and our outstanding Reading Olympians.
Enjoy the May Newsletter and the many activities that mark the conclusion of the school year!
Sincerely,
Michael Nitti
Superintendent of Schools

Unified Track Championships
Truman's unified track team competed and hosted the Unified Track Championship! Unified track consists of athletes from Truman's lifeskills program and compete alongside general education students in track and field events.
Students worked hard all season to earn their place in the championships and participated with Quakertown, Central Bucks South, Council Rock South, & Pennsbury.
Shirt Off My Back
Seniors in spring sports nominated a Bristol Township teacher, past or present, who has made a profound impact on them not only in the classroom setting, but also in the students’ life outside of the classroom for Shirt Off My Back.
By giving this award to a particular teacher, the student is acknowledging that teacher’s efforts and successes. Teachers who are selected receive a handwritten letter from their nominator – explaining the reasons supporting the choice, and a T-Shirt with the student’s name on it. Teachers are encouraged to wear the T-Shirt to their nominator’s senior night if possible and to school to show their appreciation and support to the student.

In the 2nd annual contest between Bristol Township middle schools, Armstrong squeaked out a one run victory over Franklin, 8-7.
