SCHOOL REPORT’S – June 2007
GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
The PTG treated the kindergarten to a visit from Safari Parties, an “in school” field trip.
The children got to interact with all types of small animals. Each child was able to pet
each animal and even wear a snake around their necks. As a culminating activity to our
“Farm Animals” language arts unit, the kindergarteners participated in “Farmer Field Day.”
They played various outside relay races followed by a picnic lunch. Many thanks to all
the kindergartener parents for organizing such a fun day. Each child in kindergarten got
to dress up as his/her favorite letter person. They entertained their families and friends
with many songs and poems they had learned throughout the year.
The three first grade classes at Glenwood performed a musical entitled Colors: We’re
Better Together. The speakers and dancers (which included all children) practiced for a
month to learn six songs, three dances and many speaking parts. It was a huge success!
All first and second grade students were administered the Naglieri Ability Screening. This
is a new screening that is one part of the many assessments done throughout the school
district. The results will be sent home in the end of the year progress reports.
Second grade had Living History Museum Day. All students chose a famous person who
has made a positive difference in the world. They did research, wrote a short report,
made a poster and dressed as that person. Family members and other classes were
invited to tour the “museum” and ask students questions about what they learned. The
second grade went on a field trip to the Academy of Natural Sciences to supplement our
science unit on the life cycle of the butterfly.
Third grade students reflected on the writing they did throughout the year and compared it
to pieces they had done in previous years.
Mr. G’s fourth grade AMP class will be designing their own dream houses and then
calculating the cost of flooring for each area of the house.
1
Mr. G’s fifth grade AMP class will analyze the perimeter and area of a 2-D drawing of their
initials. Then they will analyze the surface area and volume of 3-D drawings of their
initials.
Glenwood fifth grade students investigated a local creek as part of their study of
Ecosystems in science. Students visited the Wissahickon Environmental Center in
Fairmount Park in Philadelphia and completed a creek study of the waterway. Students
learned about macro invertebrates (large water animals) including definitions of what they
are, what they look like, their adaptations, and what their presence or absence means to
the health of the water. The students caught the macro invertebrates themselves and
using microscopes help to identify them. The fifth grade students also investigated water
quality using test kits. The students learned how to study the health of the water.
Students will conduct the tests in small groups and shared their results with others.
The students in the Learning Support class have continued to be involved in active
learning in reading, writing, and math. The Project Read phonics program has been
effective in improving decoding and spelling skills t his year. The students are rewarded
for manners, kindness to others, working cooperatively, completing work, and reading and
math accomplishments. The children earn individual links on a paper chain for their
continued effort and good work. Our culminating activity is a pizza party to celebrate the
year’s learning, when the paper chain links across the entire room.
Mrs. Bennett and Mr. Sharp recently took a group of students to Lima Estates Retirement
Center. Continuing our inter-generational community outreach with Lima Estates,
students and residents worked together to create patriotic wreaths. Red, white, and blue
sheets of foam were used to trace and cut out various sized stars. We then glued our
wreaths together. When finished the students and residents admired their work while
enjoying a snack of cookies and juice. The residents proudly displayed the wreaths on
their doors.
The weather held up nicely for field day. The sun even made an appearance! The
students did a wonderful job at all the activities and they practiced good sportsmanship
throughout the morning. Thank you to all staff, faculty and volunteers for their help and
support. Field day was a great day!
Visiting author James Bruchac visited Glenwood. He gave two presentations, one to
students in grades K-2 in the morning and one to students in grades 3-5 in the afternoon.
For the younger children, Mr. Bruchac shared some traditional animal tales that have
passed down from generation to generation about his Abenaki tribe and discussed his
books and his collection of plaster casts of animal tracks. For the older students, he
added some cautionary monster tales that kept members of the audience on the edge of
their seats and elicited more than a few startled jumps (from the adults, also!). Breakout
sessions with Native American story teller and author James Bruchac enhanced students’
social studies unit on Native Americans of North America.
In the summer, in addition to picking up a baseball glove or a beach towel, we’d all like
our students to pick up a good book. To support summer reading, Library Technician
Kathy Cook held a “buy-one-get-one-free” book fair the second week of June. Many titles
2
featuring our students’ favorite characters, authors, and series were available. Children
went home with bags stuffed full of great books at an incredible discount!
Library technician Kathy Cook participated in the Delaware County Book Review Program
held at Upper Darby High School. Publishers provide copies of brand new titles, and
librarians may keep those books they review. Mrs. Cook obtained twenty-three recentlypublished titles for the Glenwood library, including non-fiction, novels, and picture books
valued at over $300.00!
INDIAN LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Our Guidance counselor Nancy Palmo and Kindergarten teacher Judy Hughes have
decided to retire at the end of the 2006-2007 school year. Mrs. Palmo joined Rose Tree
Media in 1972 and became the district's first elementary guidance counselor. She has
served at Indian Lane since the school opened in 1992. Mrs. Hughes joined the district in
1988 at Glenwood and has served Indian Lane since 1992. Both ladies have provided
outstanding service to countless students and parents over their long careers and will be
greatly missed. We wish them all the best in retirement.
Lunch Lady Appreciation Day
Lunch Lady Appreciation Day was celebrated at Indian Lane To thank our hardworking,
hot, busy-bee Lunch Ladies, Indian Lane’s cafeteria was transformed into an Italian Bistro
complete with Italian music being played for all to enjoy. All 5 of our hardworking lunch
ladies were treated, as they got to sit down to “mangia and bevi” on Chicken Parmesan,
Manicotti & Stromboli, while our very good sport of a principal, Mr. Bill Bennett served the
entire second grade class their lunches! Mr. Bennett’s willing helpers were Mrs.
Reischer, Mr. Hutelmyer & Mrs. Palmo. Dessert consisted of Tiramisu & homemade
Biscotti. (Yum!) A very special thank you goes to Mrs. Louise Lorenz and her cafeteria
staff for their cheerfulness in serving many hungry mouths during the school year. The
spirit of gratefulness and fun are always evident at Indian Lane, and this event sure does
prove it!
Field Day
A fun time was had by all as students
competed in various events during our
2007 Field Day Extravaganza!!!

Broadcast Club:
The Broadcast Club received a visit from NBC10 Meteorologist, Dave Warren. Mr.
Warren spoke to the Broadcast Club and answered some of their questions. In a brief
segment on the NBC10 morning news that following Sunday, Dave Warren spoke of his
visit to Indian Lane, he showed some photos taken with some of the Indian Lane
reporters and he held up an Indian Lane Broadcast Club tee shirt he was given as a gift
from the Broadcast Club.
Spelling Bee
On Tuesday, May 22nd, select fifth grade students participated in Indian Lane's Annual
Spelling Bee.
Congratulations!!!
Kaitlyn (1st place)
Ally (2nd place)
Tyler (3rd place)
Congratulations to all 24 candidates who did a
fantastic job.
Our third grade classes have "adopted" some
soldiers in Iraq this year and have sent them
lots of care packages. The soldiers were
able to visit the third graders.
Visiting Author, James Bruchac
We had a great time getting to know author
James Bruchac. He brought along some
stories, songs and footprints for us to enjoy
and learn about. Below are a few pictures of
this 6' 5" Native American storyteller.

Kindergarten
The kindergarten classes visited the three first grades to get a glimpse of the good things
to come. The children were allowed to look around the room and find out from their first
grade counterparts what first grade will be like. The teachers hope that this makes the
transition from kindergarten to first grade a little less scary. They also had the opportunity
to have lunch in the cafeteria and receive instructions on buying lunch for the very first
time.
First Grade
First grade traveled to the Philadelphia Zoo as a culminating activity for their study of
animal classification. The children were asked to locate one animal from each
classification group along with other items/ people at the zoo.
Stephanie Herman’s class has been studying the rain forests of the world. The children
enjoyed learning many things about the rain forests. They first created a passport,
complete with hand drawn portraits and stamps collected each time a rain forest activity
was completed. The children went on a hunt through their homes to locate things they
had from the rain forest. Many of these products were displayed in the classroom during
the study. The children created a “flap-book” identifying each layer of the rain forest. Mini
rain forests were created in 1-liter bottles so the children could understand the concept of
transpiration. The children planted the plants in the bottles, watered them lightly and
closed them up. Over the next few days they observed as the condensation created
watered the plants. The children then discussed how the canopy layer holds in the rain
and water’s the plants below. The children then completed research reports in
cooperative groups. Each group was assigned an animal from a different layer of the rain
forest. The children investigated various books and Internet resources to find of the
classification of the animal. The layer in which the animal lives, how the animal moves,
what the animal eats and 1 interesting fact about the animal. The reports were presented
and video taped.
Second Grade
The Second Grade classes have been studying Economics as part of our Social Studies
curriculum. What better way to learn it than to do it?! Next week, we will take all 4
classes to Linville Orchards where they will go on a hayride to the strawberry fields to pick
strawberries. The next day, with the help of some parents, we will clean and cut the
strawberries to prepare them for the lunchtime Strawberry Sale. During all lunch periods,
the second graders, again with parental help, will sell strawberries and cream to the IL
students and staff. This is going to be a fun way to learn about deficits and profits as well
as how goods are made, manufactured, and sold.
Third Grade
The entire third grade went on a field trip on June 5th to RIDE THE DUCKS in
Philadelphia. This was in conjunction with their Social Studies unit on Philadelphia and
the introduction to Pennsylvania for 4th grade.
On June 14th they will be visiting the Franklin Institute to view the King Tut exhibit. This
field trip follows a study of King Tut in Art class and the creation of King Tut artifacts.
5
Fourth Grade
The students are researching various topics on Pennsylvania famous people, regions, colonial life, government, etc. Topics
will be presented in a Power Point Presentation by each student.
In conjunction with this unit, the entire fourth grade visited
Harrisburg. Our first stop on our trip was to the Capitol building
in Harrisburg. We then took a self-guided tour through the State
Building. We stopped at the Hershey Chocolate Factory to take
a tour and to learn about the chocolate making process. As you
can imagine, we couldn't resist the chocolate!!! After a long day,
we sat down for a very filling dinner at Good and Plenty
Restaurant where we enjoyed a family style meal. A great time
was had by all!
Fifth Grade
5th Grade Chorus Concert
Under the
direction of music teacher Mrs. Battavio, the
entire 5th grade performed in this year's
Spring Chorus Concert.
It is hard to believe that our fifth graders will
be moving on to Springton Lake in the fall.
On June 8th we held a Fifth Grade Farewell
Assembly with parents and teachers in
attendance.
Select
students
were
recognized for various accomplishments and
all students received a Certificate of Completion. Following the assembly, all fifth graders
were treated to a luncheon hosted by the PTG. The theme of this year’s luncheon was
“Hollywood” with the gym decorated accordingly.
Fifth grade students will wrap up their year by visiting Washington, D.C. and experiencing
our nation’s documents and precious artifacts at the Smithsonian. They will travel by
luxury coaches and visit Washington D.C.’s National Park. They will have the opportunity
to visit the monuments, the White House, The Capital Building and the Smithsonian.
MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Author Visits Media
Media students spent the day with James Bruchac, a renowned Native American storyteller and tracker. In 1999, Jim was nominated Storyteller of the Year by the Wordcraft
Circle of Native Authors and Storytellers. He has performed at festivals, museums, and
libraries, including the Smithsonian Discovery Theater in Washington, D.C., The Boston
6
Children’s Museum, and the John F. Kennedy Library. Because of his dedication to the
education of others about the natural world, in March of 2005 Jim and his father, Joseph,
received a 2004 National Wildlife Federation Conservation Achievement Award. Our
visitor entertained students, K-5, by telling stories and explaining how he tracks animals in
Yellowstone National Park.
East Meets West
As a continuation of the program, East Meets West, initiated by Jana Maxwell, all fifth
graders visited Shofuso, the Japanese House in Fairmont Park. The children were
engaged in four activities, a tour of the house, tea tasting, kimono dressing and respect,
and haiku writing. The art room has been transformed into a tea house. Currently, each
fifth grade class is hosting a 2nd grade class to pass along knowledge of Japanese art and
culture. The boys and girls are offering a simplified tea ceremony, discussion of the
making of tea bowls and brush painted ikebana, and reading haiku to their second grade
guests. The second grade students have also been visiting Japan vicariously. They
heard a Japanese folk tale, folded origami, and made Japanese-style privet. Through
these activities, the children have been learning the values of respect, cleanliness,
beauty, and tranquility.
First Grade Happenings
The first grade students at Media have been working on refining their poetry writing skills.
The children have been learning how to zoom in on their topics and how to look at the
subjects of their poems in a new way. The revision process has been a large focus. After
revising, the students have published their work in a class anthology, and some have
read their poems to the school on the morning announcements.
The first graders have also been exploring new ideas in the balancing and weighing units.
The classes have worked in pairs to build balanced structures. They have learned how to
manipulate the fulcrum and the weight so that the structures balance.
Classrooms Become Insectaries
Second grade students observed caterpillars transform into butterflies as they learned
about the life cycles of a butterfly. The children were able to observe all stages – from
caterpillars, to chrysalis, to butterfly. The children cared for the butterflies by feeding
them everyday. It was a great opportunity to see the life cycle of a butterfly first-hand.
As a culminating activity, the newly emerged butterflies were released in the flower beds
at Media Elementary.
History Comes Alive
The second grade put on their annual Living History Museum. The boys and girls
researched an important figure from history which made a positive difference in the world
through their actions. They then wrote a report on the figure, created a poster, and wore
a costume replicating the dress of the day. On the day of the museum the children spoke
in the first person as the figure they researched and shared the important things that they
accomplished during a life time.
7
Giraffe Club Service Project
The children in Mr. Kalbach’s room completed their Giraffe Club Service Projects for the
community. Students cleaned their neighborhoods, repainted parking symbols, baked
cookies for children in need, timed cars on the street, and reported the speeding to the
borough council. They spread the word about neighborhood safety, taught neighbors
about invasive plant species, and even replanted gardens at public places like the library.
The children learned that they can make a difference, and get others involved to improve
our neighborhoods.
Local Native American Culture
The second grade students went on a field trip to the Tyler Arboretum to study the life and
habitat of the Lenape Native American Tribes. They tried on native clothing, looked at a
real wigwam, investigated native plants used for medicine, saw Native American tools,
discovered how canoes were constructed, and learned about the foods and animals of
the region. They compared life today to life when the Native Americans were populating
this area. The boys and girls participated in nature walks and sang a few Indian songs.
They experienced playing some of the games that the children would have played back in
earlier times in order to improve the various skills needed for everyday life. The trip was a
great learning experience for everyone.
State Government Trip
The fourth grade students participated in visiting our state capital, Harrisburg, to see
where our commonwealth laws are enacted. At the same time they were able to learn
many interesting facts about Pennsylvania. Some of the fond memories the children
came away with included visiting the state museum and seeing the Invention and
Technology Exhibit, the Civil War Exhibit, as well as the video in the Planetarium.
Congressman’s Visit to Media
On Monday, June 4th, Congressman Joe Sestak took time out of his busy schedule to visit
our school to speak with the fourth grade students. This was a great experience for the
students because they were able to learn more about the life of our elected official as well
as what he does for our nation. He answered questions that the children posed and even
discussed his life in the Navy, the challenges he and his family have faced, and his duties
as a politician. The students were most interested to learn that he is the father of a family
and he spends time with them on weekends. The children are currently working on
“thank you” notes to send to the Congressman for taking the time to visit the fourth grade
class.
Physical Education Update
Spring physical fitness testing is completed. Students in grades 3-5 showed significant
improvement from fall pre-testing. Media’s annual Field Day was a success by all
accounts. Students in grades 1-5 participated in a “Summer Fun” circuit of co-operative
activities.
Our Solar System
The third grade classes have been studying the solar system. In school, students have
researched the planets to write reports. Each student selected a topic to research at
8
home. Students shared their findings with the class through a presentation and
explanation of the project they completed.
Mid-County Senior Services and Media’s Fourth Grade
Mid-County Senior Services will be hosting an art show at the Baker Street Gallery in the
month of June. The purpose of the show is to feature mixed media art works created by
persons aged 55 and older, along with oral history intergenerational interviews conducted
by the fourth grade students at Media. Using an interview format, the students learned
about the senior citizens and the influence on their art work. The interview responses will
be featured at the June art show along with the senior citizen artworks.
Kindergarten Thespians
Each kindergarten class planned a play to be presented to parents on June 5th. The
children portrayed the poems, “There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly” and “Miss
Bindergarten Celebrates the Last Day of Kindergarten”. The children preformed skits and
acted out parts of the poems.
Fourth Grade Presents a Look at Geography
The combined classes at Media Elementary have developed a play entitled, “U.S.
Geography: An Extraterrestrial Safari Through States, Capitals, and Natural features.
The feature will be presented to the 3rd and 5th grade students on June 13th.
All School Picnic
The Parent Teacher Group hosted an all school picnic for the students and their families
on the playground on Wednesday, June 6th. The parents supplied hamburgers and drinks
while the school community enjoyed good food, good fellowship, and beautiful weather on
the Media playground between the hours of five to seven p.m.
Fifth Grade Recognition Program
The annual Fifth Grade Recognition Program was held on Friday, June 15th in the
school’s gymnasium. Breakfast was served to the students in the cafeteria prior to the
program in the gym. Students were recognized for participation in clubs and activities. A
few songs were sung and one student was awarded the “Kids in Kindness” and a savings
bond awarded by The Woman’s Club in Media.
Music Notes
Fifth grade completed their study of the Blues by writing lyrics and performing blues
songs in class. Though the project took several weeks, the children were able to see the
efforts of their hard work through their performance.
Carnival of the Animals was used in third grade music to introduce various instrument
timbres. Third graders will soon select instruments for lessons next year. A favorite of
the children’s was Fossils which feature the Xylophone and a very popular melody rolled
into a rondo form.
The Spring Concert featured all fifth grades and our select chorus (comprised of students
in grades 4 and 5.) Nine songs, narration, and instrument performances were on the
9
program May 31st. This was the culmination of six separate musical performances, on
and off campus, during the last month.
ROSE TREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Art Room Happenings
Abby Henry, fourth grade student artist from Mrs. Spardel’s class, was named as the
winner for her entry in the Pennsylvania State Flag contest. She was awarded an official
Pennsylvania state flag, a certificate of achievement, and her entry is on display in the
rotunda of the state capitol during the month of June. In Mrs. Proetto’s art class, students
from grades one through four created a variety of weaving projects, with some based on
themes in keeping with their Social Studies units. Fifth grade artists continued their
exploration of the art element value and created impressive still life drawing in their
sketchbooks.
Math Lab:
Grade 1 The first grade students worked with Time and Money. They learned to identify
and write time to the hour (o’clock) and the half-hour (30 minutes). They also worked on
identifying coins (quarter, dime, nickel, penny), counting coins (starting with one quarter
and a handful of other assorted change), and finding multiple ways to make given
amounts. Grade 3 Third graders studied hard to remember the steps for long division,
including how to check by multiplication. The students learned to build division into their
problem solving skills and practiced justifying their work in words. They also had fun
talking about probability using spinners. Grade 4 The fourth graders spiraled through
multi-digit multiplication, long division (including introducing 2-digit divisors), mean, range,
median, mode, and worked on their written problem solving skills. They also worked on
multi-step problem solving. Grade 5 Students in the fifth grade reviewed multiplication
and division of fractions, division with decimals, simplifying fractions, irregular areas, and
converting units of measure. The students studied open ended problem solving using a
rubric system and incorporated topics such as perimeter, area, and circle graphs.
Accelerated Math Program:
Fourth Grade Fourth grade AMP completed an intensive study of division – including
estimation (compatible numbers and high-low estimates), and various problem solving
skills (such as using objects). They finished up the year with multiplication and division of
fractions and mixed numbers, and logical reasoning. Students were given a summer
packet to jump start next year with ratios, percents, and probability. Fifth Grade During
the month of June, fifth grade AMP students entered the world of integers and the four
quadrant coordinate plane. The students learned to interpret, translate, and solve one
and two step equations using all four operations. They ended the year with functions,
probability, and counting techniques and were introduced to the great Pythagoras.
Music:
During the month of June, the students reviewed material that they learned throughout
the year in music class. The 5th grade students prepared two songs to sing at their
recognition ceremony, while the other grades completed musical compositions.
10
Special Reading
In order to ensure that our students do not lose their hard-won gains in reading skills over
the summer, they were strongly encouraged to read during vacation. Students will be
expected to hand their summer reading logs in to next year’s teacher in September.
Additionally, Rose Tree students entering first through fifth grades were invited to
participate in the R.T.E.S.’s Summer Reading Olympics. Students will record their
summer reading hours and may work toward earning an Olympic Medal – students
entering grades first through third will earn: the Bronze Medal for 10 hours of summer
reading, the Silver Medal for 20 hours of summer reading, and the Gold Medal for 30
hours of summer reading; students entering grades fourth through fifth will earn: the
Bronze Medal for 20 hours of summer reading, the Silver Medal for 40 hours of summer
reading, and the Gold Medal for 60 hours of summer reading. All Summer Reading
Olympiads will be recognized at the Reading Olympics Closing Ceremony in September
with medals and prizes.
Kindergarten
Mrs. Hetherington and Mrs. Mayfield-Pinkett’s kindergarten students had a great time at
the Philadelphia Zoo! Both the AM and PM classes spent a full day exploring all different
kinds of animals. They saw chameleons, sleeping aardvarks, and even a peacock
showing off its feathers! The students learned about the six main animal groups and
about animal habitats. They listened to animal-themed read aloud stories and also
created animal books in class.
Second Grade
Second graders at Rose Tree Elementary completed their research on Native Americans.
This research integrated the history of our country’s first inhabitants with geography skills
(examining a map of the regions of the U.S.), reading (nonfiction and legends), writing
(informational writing), research (conducting and presenting) and technology (using the
Internet for research and participating in a Native American videoconference with the
Center for Puppetry Arts). The students made replicas of petroglyphs, silver and
turquoise jewelry, totem poles, buffalo skins, tepees and the like. Visiting author James
Buchac introduced the children to Native American songs, legends and animal tracks.
Fourth Grade
The fourth grade students recently visited the American Helicopter Museum in West
Chester, PA. This field trip was a culminating activity for the science unit, Motion and
Design. The students viewed a movie about the history of flight, participated in hands-on
activities showing air resistance (drag), and took a tour of the various helicopters inside
and outside the museum. As a cross-curricular activity (language arts & social studies),
the fourth grade classes completed a “Where in the United States is Flat Stanley?”
hallway display. The students read the book, Flat Stanley. Students then sent their own
Flat Stanley cutout along with a letter to a friend or a relative living in other parts of the
United States. Students shared the replies to their Flat Stanley letters which included
interesting facts and photographs about each state Stanley visited. Each child then
posted his or her Flat Stanley cutout, the letter, and photos on a large United States map
hung in the fourth grade wing.
11
Physical Education
Rose Tree Elementary school held Field Day. The theme this year was Dr. Seuss. The
children did a fantastic job playing cooperative games that were named after Dr. Seuss
books and characters. During the rest of the month the students finished up the year with
fun games which focused on teamwork and cooperation.
SPRINGTON LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL
Community Health Fair
The Community Health Fair was coordinated with community agencies and the SLMS
Health Council.
Debate Club
Debate Club represented Springton Lake at the Junior Model United Nations at Drexel
University. Springton Lake represented the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland, Uganda, Sri Lanka and Venezuela. They debated resolutions concerned with
solving the problems associated with Global Warming and Refugees. The World Affairs
Council of Philadelphia who sponsors the Junior Model United Nations commended all
students for their fine preparation and participation at this event.
AGP
The students in the gifted program at Springton Lake Middle School held their fifth annual
“Celebration of the Mind,” taking over literally the entire first floor of the school. Student
projects, demonstrations, presentations, and musical gyrations delighted family and
friends from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. Over 100 sixth, seventh, and eighth graders participated in
this fun-filled evening which is the culminating event in the independent project
component of the gifted program at the middle school. Topics studied ranged from the
Australian Continent, Hurricanes, & Medieval Life to WW II and Veterinary Medicine. Live
events that evening included several original movies; a round table discussion about
global warming; cooking demonstrations; a fashion show with models wearing original
designs; a live Jazz Ensemble; and a game show called “Will It Float,” modeled on the
David Letterman TV show routine. The event is hosted by the AGP coordinators Cynthia
Stephens, Pattie Sangillo, and Tony Tolomeo.
SCIENCE
Eighth grade science is working on the Fruitvale SEPUP kit. This kit has the students
investigate how ground water can become contaminated by chemicals that are released
onto the surface of the ground. This unit not only covers chemical concepts but
environmental concepts as well. The seventh grade science department went to Hershey
Park to collect real world data. The students return with this data and apply the numbers
to a teacher generated packet. This packet summarizes the second half of the year in
physics. By completing the packet, the students, demonstrate their understanding of
course objectives. Sixth grade science students are researching an endangered animal.
They are discovering why the animal is endangered and what is being done to help them.
Students will put their information in a power point or a poster to present to the class. The
students are also learning about animal adaptations. They are finding out how animals
are able to survive in their habitats.
12
SOCIAL STUDIES
Eighth grade social studies classes are exploring the end of the Middle Ages. The
decline of Feudalism, the Bubonic Plague and the role of Joan of Arc in the Hundred
Years War are some of the topics being investigated in class. Some students have
constructed a medieval coat of arms. Students are also working History Alive readings
and interactive notes concerning the great minds of Renaissance Europe. Brian Reilly
coordinated a presentation by two local Civil War historians from the Brandywine Round
Table. While dressed in uniform, Dan Cashen and John Walls explained to the seventh
graders what life was like for soldiers and sailors during the war. Students had a chance
to ask questions and examine some of the items displayed. It was an informative and
entertaining ending to our Civil War unit.
MATH
Ms. Boettcher accompanied 6 girls to the Math Options Career Day at Penn State Lima.
Megan Caldwell, Alyson Gramo, Brittany Johnson, Molly Lawrence, Lara Rosenberg and
Jacki Turet attemded the program. The students meet women from all over the area
who are in math or science related professions. The girls attended three classes, each
with a different presenter, and learned about their jobs and the application of math and
science to their specific field of expertise. The girls then attended a panel discussion
with three women; one from the FDA, another who works for Boeing and a third who is a
scientist. The girls ask questions about their careers, backgrounds, school experiences,
future endeavors, etc. After lunch, the girls walked around the career fair, looking and
learning about helicopter models from Boeing, inventions from Lockheed Martin and
biology careers from a scientist at Wyeth.
The girls had an excellent time and learned a great deal from the day. The following
quotes are from a few of the girls who attended; "I found out that I wanted a career with
strong math and science roots, but also, with concrete and physical materials" - Brittany
Johnson. "I really liked Math Options, it was fun and I made a lot of new friends" -Molly
Lawrence. "I had a ton of fun going to different stations and meeting the amazing
women. I wish I could go back next year" - Megan Caldwell.
The girls were an excellent representation of SLMS students. They were well behaved,
included other kids in the activities, asked well-thought out questions and respected the
women when they spoke. It was a pleasure accompanying these girls to Math Options
this year.
In Mrs. Simmington's IPA 1 class, students enjoyed playing battleship in an effort to
better understand how to navigate on the coordinate plane. Mrs. Simmington's
Accelerated Pre-Algebra students are working on a Fractions of the Day project. Students
will analyze how they use their time during a 24-hour period. Students will eventually work
to convert minutes to degrees in order to create an accurate circle graph depicting how
they spend their time.
ART
Mrs. Going's students are all working very hard towards completion of their current units.
13
In eighth grade, the students are challenging themselves by creating a full page from an
Illuminated Manuscript based on the Middle Ages!! After studying the background of
these extraordinary and intricate books, students had to first figure out what the text of
their page would be. These tend to be very meaningful and personal. Next what would the
lay-out look like. Where was the Illustration for those that couldn't read (making it a more
authentic to the assignment) and finally how to enclose the work with a border. After
struggling with these decisions, color began. Watercolor, Gold Paint Pens and Colored
Pencil are a requirement so again... the problem solving wheels are always turning. What
to use, where and when! Students are finding that all decisions are theirs and they love it!
The eighth grade core groups of Mural designers have begun painting the 2007 Eighth
Grade Mural. The theme this year is "Catch a Falling Star and your Future Will Be
Bright.” The team is painting, thanks to the generous donation from Old City Paint in
Media. Stars will adorn the twilight sky with the names of all of the eighth graders in this
current graduating class!! Seventh grades have turned in their research on one of the
great early American Portrait Painters from the 1700's. Their choices: Benjamin West,
Charles Wilson Peale, John Singleton Copley or non other than Gilbert Stuart. This
concludes their study of portraiture. Now on to designing the frame to house their color
study portraits. Based on Essential Questions and Benchmark skills, students are
learning the printmaking process and are beginning to print the frame which will then
house their portraits. Sixth graders are rapping up the construction of their ceramics unit.
Every step is an exciting process for them as they watch their Zuni Native American
Fetish sculpture emerge. The excitement in the room is contagious as they finish their
clay. The students are now gearing up for their first glaze experience at Springton Lake
when they begin to add color to their fired pieces next week! This is the culminating
project to rap up their understanding and experience with the element of FORM.
In the Classes of Ms. Sycz: Eighth grade students are finishing their Illuminated Letter
Painting. As students finish this painting project, they will proceed into the art of scratch
board drawing. Students will incorporate the elements of line, shape, value and texture.
Creative problem solving will be needed to make an eye catching image using a tool that
creates very thin lines on an all black surface. Some 8th grade classes will have a chance
to share art experiences, values and lessons gained during their stay at Springton Lake
during an art forum format during their last class session. Seventh grade students have
begun a printmaking unit with emphasis on line, shape, and texture. The students
compare and contrast the experience of this art form with their previous painting lesson.
The sixth grade students are finishing a major painting unit with the subject being
animals and plant life. Classes who finish this project will explore the printmaking process
using a nonrepresentational stamp print.
Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages
Recently we held the Spring ESOL Family Picnic at Ridley Creek State Park. In spite of
threatening weather, about fifty people, from babies to grandparents, attended the
festivities. Teachers supplied hamburgers, hot dogs and veggie burgers and families
brought a dish to share, many from their native countries. Soccer, playground
equipment, Simon Says, frisbee and interesting conversation, in addition to non-stop
eating, made the three plus hours fly by. Pictures of our picnic can be accessed on the
school district web site. Just type "ESOL" in the search box and click on the first entry to
appear. Once on the home page, click on "slide show." Enjoy!

Library
Mrs. Motley and L.A. teacher Ms. Mayernick attended a reception at the Media-Upper
Providence Library to honor local students who had won the local Bookmark Contest.
Seventh grader Lauren Myers was honored for her bookmark for the middle school
division.
Mrs. Motley attended the Pennsylvania School Librarian’s Association Meeting in
Hershey, PA. She participated in a digital camera workshop and as a member of the
Best of the Best book review panel, presented reviews to an audience of 150 librarians.
She also attended several sessions on new technologies such as blogs, wikis, and
podcasts, serving as moderator for one session. In addition, she attended a panel
discussion on Pennsylvania’s Classrooms of the Future program which is providing high
schools with technology and teaching coaches to move PA schools towards 21st century
and Web 2.0 teaching and learning. Mrs. Motley was also asked to speak to a group of
teachers who are enrolled in a library certification program at Arcadia University. This is
the second year that she was asked to speak about how Rose Tree Media librarians
followed the curriculum writing process to create our information literacy curriculum.
Mrs. Motley visited all seventh and eighth grade language arts classes to present
background about our visiting author Gordon Korman and to book talk selections from his
writing. Mr. Korman visited Springton Lake where he spoke at three grade-level
assemblies and autographed books for students and teachers. Fifty participants in our
Food for Thought Café program gathered in the library for a special author reception. Mr.
Korman gave a brief intro to his new book, Schooled about a boy raised on a now defunct
6’s commune by his aging hippie grandmother. Participants kept Mr. Korman busy
answering their questions for about thirty minutes before a perfect author visit had to
come to an end!
Students from Mrs. White’s and Mr. Carboni’s sixth grades classes completed the annual
author study project. Students each selected an author and one of their books to read.
Mrs. Motley presented resources, both print and electronic, to help each student with their
assignments.
Students then researched their author and discovered personal
information, educational background, publications, awards, and other pertinent
information. Information was shared via posters and power points and all facts were
documented using proper bibliographic format.
Mr. Riley’s social studies classes researched various Civil War battles and then presented
either a Power Point or a travel brochure highlighting their discoveries.
Seventh grade students from Ms. Bendistis’s classes chose a topic of their choice to
research and then completed an oral presentation or written paper. Students were
prepared for the research by a lesson on plagiarism. Mrs. Motley stressed consequences
of plagiarism using the examples of Blair Hornstine and Joseph Biden and provided
guidance on six simple steps for writing in one’s own words. Students practiced these
steps using a passage from a book on westward expansion.
15
Ms. Dachiu’s seventh grade L.A. students selected a poet with whom they identified and
then researched their poet and created a character study. Seventh grade language arts
students from Ms. Mayernick’s classes self-selected topics for research and then
completed a written research paper.
HEALTH/PE
The Springton Lake PE program was highlighted in the papers for the great curriculum
offerings and health council events. Springton Lake was chosen as the site for the
National Adventure organization (AAPAR--American Alliance for Physical Activity and
Recreation) to film and take pictures of our students in our climbing unit and use it for
their website and training manuals. Our Springton Lake students were able to enjoy a
free program called "WAVE PE" during their PE classes. The students had an
opportunity to try wave boards which is like a combination of snowboarding,
skateboarding, and surfing. The students had a great time and are now asking for it to be
a part of the PE program.
MUSIC
Over 150 students performed at the Media Theatre in the 5th Annual Springton Lake
Middle School Music Showcase "On With the Show.” The Choice Voices, Select Chorus,
Jazz Band, and Honors Strings presented portions of the program, and then combined for
an American salute. The full house audience responded with a standing ovation.

The Chemical storeroom is presently being emptied for the reconstruction over the
summer. The science department wishes to thank the administration and school board
for all of their diligent work at completing this long awaited project.
Field Study
The freshman field study will be held again next year in the second week of October. We
have changed our format so that students of the same level will be out on the same day
so as to alleviate any partial classes for three whole days.
Team Building
The Science Olympiad team hopes to go to the Pocono’s for their fifth annual team
building overnight trip to Canadensis the third weekend of September. This is a very
important time for the team to get together and build the team mentality which will carry
them through the year.

Items for Legislative Meeting – Anne Callahan
Items for the legislative meeting were sent to the Board for review. Members
of the committee were asked to contact Anne Callahan with any questions.
Action: All items will appear on the agenda of the legislative meeting of the
Board of School Directors on June 21, 2007, for a vote of the full board.
II.
Life Insurance Proposal
The committee had a brief discussion about the proposal from METLIFE to
provide life insurance coverage for district employees effective July 1, 2007.
The proposal carries a three year rate guarantee and a premium rate slightly
lower than our current rate.
Action: The METLIFE Life Insurance Proposal will appear on the agenda of
the legislative meeting of June 21, 2007, for approval of the full board.
III.
Community Issues
Several members of the Rose Tree Media community attended the meeting to
address concerns about racial issues in the schools and the community. Two
recent issues of racial slurs written on a poster and in a girls’ bathroom were
of primary concern. Dr. Steven Taylor, Dr. Angela Gilbert, and Dr. Valerie
Burnett responded by telling the group what the district has been doing to
address these issues. A community member of the community group asked
for the names of the students responsible for the writing. Dr. Burnett
responded that the district is not permitted to release that information.
The group asked that the Multicultural Task Force be reinstated and that a
committee be formed to allow community members an opportunity to meet
with the superintendent. In addition, the group asked if parents could become
involved in the Delaware Valley Minority Student Achievement Consortium.
The consortium is an educational group formed under the guidance of the
University of Pennsylvania to address issues of the achievement gap
between minority students and the remainder of the student population.
Action: The district will take the group’s proposals under consideration and
will respond to the group. Dr. Gilbert will ask the chairman of the Delaware
Valley Minority Student Achievement Consortium whether parents are
permitted to play an active role in the consortium.
The community members expressed concern about the loss of a Board seat
in Media. Of particular concern was the loss of Mrs. Stacey Benson as a
member of the Board of School Directors. Committee members responded
that this decision is not in the hands of the Rose Tree Media School District
Board of School Directors. The decision to move Mrs. Benson’s seat from
Media Borough to Middletown Township was part of the political process.
The suggestion was made that voters can elect their preferred candidate by a
write-in vote in November if they so choose.
A group of parents expressed concern about a reduction of the number of
classes at some grade levels for the 2007-08 school year. Anne Callahan
responded that Rose Tree Media has experienced a gradual decline in
student population over the past several years. Where the number of classes
has been reduced, it is in direct correlation to the number of students at that
grade level. In all cases, class sizes are well within the limits prescribed by
the Board of School Directors. No teachers are being laid off, but a number
of teachers have been reassigned. While the district recognizes that teacher
transfers can be difficult, they are made only after careful consideration by the
district administrative team based on the needs of the students, the needs of
the district, and the needs of the teacher, in that order.
One parent brought up the issue of the transfer of a particular teacher. Mrs.
Callahan responded that the matter was a personnel matter and, as such,
would not be discussed in a public meeting.
IV.

Discussion/Overnight Trip Requests
A discussion was held regarding financial support transporting Penncrest teams to team
building camps or preseason camps prior to the official PIAA preseason date. While these
camps are voluntary, they are chaperoned by the team coach, and therefore incur district
liability. There is currently no policy that defines the district’s obligation to support or approve
these requests, although past practice has shown support. There were also questions regarding
the distance of the Volleyball team building camp in West Virginia although there were no costs
associated with this trip.
Mr. DiAntonio, Athletic Director for PHS acknowledged that no policy exists, but requests
were based on two questions: Is there a need for district transportation? Is the request
reasonable?
The overnight trips will be placed on the June 07 legislative agenda for approval. Mr.
DiAntonio will work on bringing forward a policy for discussion in the fall.
The details of the Trip request are noted below:
PHS Volleyball Team Building
High View West Virginia
Student cost $80-$110
District cost $0
August 24-26, 2007
PHS Cheerleading Camp

ACTION: The overnight trip approval will be on the June 2007 legislative agenda for
approval
Relocation of Elementary Special Education classes
To increase the space available for the Developmental Kindergarten and Developmental
Primary classes, the District will be relocating these classes from Rose Tree Elementary to
Indian Lane Elementary. State regulations mandate that these classes must remain in that
location for a minimum of three years and be afforded equitable facilities.
To accommodate this move, the IU Language class that has been hosted at Indian Lane will
move to Glenwood Elementary School. Due to declining enrollment and increased inclusion
efforts, the IU Physical Support class that has been located at Glenwood will be closed as the
two remaining students move to district based classrooms.
Instructional Assistant Requests
Due to reassignment of existing staff, the requests for three additional instructional support
positions were removed from the agenda.
Overnight Trip Request
• Immersion trip for French Students Quebec Canada April 16-20, 2008
Students studying French at Penncrest High School will travel to Montreal and Quebec Canada
on April 16-20, 2008 for a language immersion experience. The cost of the trip is funded by the
students. The cost to the District is up to 15 days total of substitute coverage at $1,125.00. The
number of actual days will depend on student participation and need for staff chaperones.
ACTION: The overnight trip approval will be on the June 2007 legislative agenda for
approval

Building Goals Update
Steve Taylor led the board through a PowerPoint presentation to showcase progress on
building goals for the year, and the principals answered follow-up questions from the
board. The presentation focused on common goals related to two areas: community
building and student achievement. Each building took the community building goal in
different directions, though there were a variety of common threads. Community
building involved students, parents, teachers, and the broader community in activities
that promoted respect, family learning, support of military personnel, teaching
environmental awareness, developing cultural awareness, empowerment and inclusion,
bonding, boosting school spirit, promoting wellness, and reaching out to others. The
presentation highlighted the extensive community building that went on in each building
over the course of the year. In regard to the student achievement goal, the elementary
buildings focused this year on improving literacy and mathematics as measured by
standardized assessments. Each elementary school focused on a particular grade
performance and subsequent assessment to improve literacy and mathematics. All four
schools implemented specific action steps to meet this goal including: monitoring
student progress via Child Study teams and grade level meetings; implementing
differentiated instruction via Project Read, small groups and the kindergarten “wheel”;
using data to identify students in need of interventions. Performance data from DIBELS
and MAP were shared with the board to help illustrate progress toward the elementary
achievement goal. At the middle school level, the achievement goals involved
improving the performance of students of all students on PSSA and narrowing
achievement gaps for minority and economically disadvantaged students. At the high
school, the goal was similar: to improve student achievement on PSSA, with a focus on
subgroup performance. At both secondary schools, a number of action steps enabled
the buildings to make progress on these goals, including the strengthening of studentsupport teams, building community partnerships to motivate and focus students,
providing professional development on understanding cultural learning styles and using
data to improve instruction, tutoring, and using a co-teaching model for some Special
Education students. The PSSA scores which arrive over the summer will be the most
important indicators of the success of these initiatives.

Kronos Proposal
The proposal from Kronos for time and attendance upgrade to TimeKeeper Central
software was explained along with the pricing structure. All costs are already built into
the existing budget for 2007-2008. The upgrade will provide a modular approach to fit
our needs in automating time and attendance tracking. The Kronos solution is the best
fit with our financial management system, Sunguard Pentamation. As a follow up, the
Board requested a report in six months after implementation. The contract for this
proposal will be on the Legislative agenda for approval in June.
Virtual K Program
Details about this opportunity for our incoming kindergarten Class of 2020 were
provided. All RTM kindergarten students will be offered this program via an online
provider, Blended Schools, and coordinated through an RTM online teacher. All costs
associated with this program are already built into the budget for 2007-2008. The online
teacher will be coordinating the online curriculum to match, extend, and enrich the
existing program. Communication will be ongoing among the regular kindergarten
teachers, the online teacher, and the parents. Workshops and meetings will be held with
parents to guide them through the process. Each child will have a unique username and
password so that only RTM registered students will have this available to them. We will
provide equipment and connection for any family who demonstrates need. The software
portion of this proposal will be covered through the Accountability Block Grant.
Sunesys Contract for change in Fiber Network
Sunesys has given us a proposal of a one time Capital expenditure of $15,000 to splice
6 strands of our current Fiber network to redirect them in a point to point manner back to
Penncrest High School. This proposal does not change our existing operating
expenditures for the Fiber network, nor does it affect the existing Fiber currently in use.
Choosing this option minimizes the cost to the district to get some form of redundancy
for our network connections and will allow us to move forward with installing the
updated voice services project. Finally, it should improve network reliability and
performance for all services provided to the schools. The cost for this project is built into
the 2007-2008 budget. The contract will be on the Legislative agenda for approval in
June.
2007 – 2008 Technology Department Budget
Review of equipment purchases planned for summer 2007 was discussed as it relates
to both Fund 22 Capital and Fund 10 General. All items for review were posted to the
Board website. They include flat panel monitors, wireless access points, power over
Ethernet switches, student laptops, a laptop cart with MAC laptops, interactive
whiteboard technology, classroom projectors, and installation of ceiling mounted
classroom projectors. These purchases, as discussed in the meeting, will be on the
Legislative agenda for approval in June.

Kronos Incorporated
297 Billerica Road
Chelmsford, MA 01824
Telephone: 1-978-250-9800
KRONOS SALES, SOFTWARE LICENSE AND SERVICES AGREEMENT
Rev KR-080706
Customer and Kronos agree that the terms and conditions set forth: i) in Section A of this Agreement apply to all Equipment and Software specified
on a Kronos order form (the “Order Form”); ii) in Section B apply to all Software, firmware (contained in or downloaded to the Equipment), and
Training Materials specified on the Order Form; iii) in Section C apply to all Professional Services, if any, specified on the Order Form; iv) in
Section D apply to all Software Support Services, if any, and the Kronos KnowledgePass Education Subscription, if any, specified on the Order
Form; and v) in Section E of the Agreement apply to all items specified on the Order Form and supplement the terms of Sections A through D. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term "Customer" shall include Customer's parent company as well as Customer's wholly owned subsidiaries, if any.
SECTION A. TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE ONLY
1. PAYMENT AND DELIVERY
Payment terms are indicated on the Order Form or other contemporaneous ordering document containing product-specific payment terms signed by
the parties. Delivery terms are as stated on the Order Form(“Delivery”).
2. ACCEPTANCE
For Customer’s initial purchase of each Equipment and Software product Kronos shall provide an acceptance test period (the “Test Period”) that
commences upon Installation. Installation shall be defined as: a.) the Equipment, if any, is mounted; b.) the Software is installed on the data base
server(s) and/or personal computer(s); and c.) implementation team training, if any, is complete. During the Test Period, Customer shall determine
whether the Equipment and Software meet the Kronos published electronic documentation, ("Specifications").
The Test Period shall be for 30 days. If Customer has not given Kronos a written deficiency statement specifying how the Equipment or Software
fails to meet the Specifications (“Deficiency Statement”) within the Test Period, the Equipment and Software shall be deemed accepted. If Customer
provides a Deficiency Statement within the Test Period, Kronos shall have 30 days to correct the deficiency, and Customer shall have an additional
30 days to evaluate the Equipment and Software. If the Equipment or Software does not meet the Specifications at the end of the second 30 day
period, either Customer or Kronos may terminate this Agreement. Upon any such termination, Customer shall return all Equipment and Software to
Kronos, and Kronos shall refund any monies paid by Customer to Kronos therefor. Neither party shall then have any further liability to the other for
the products that were the subject of the Acceptance Test.
3. LIMITED WARRANTY
Kronos warrants that all Kronos Equipment and Software media shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship, for a period of ninety (90)
days from Delivery. In the event of a breach of this warranty, Customer’s exclusive remedy shall be Kronos’ repair or replacement of the
deficient Equipment and/or Software media, at Kronos’ option, provided that Customer’s use, installation and maintenance thereof have
conformed to the Specifications. This warranty is extended to Customer only and shall not apply to any Equipment, (or parts thereof) or Software
media in the event of:
(a) damage, defects or malfunctions resulting from misuse, accident, neglect, tampering, (including modification or replacement of any Kronos
components on any boards supplied with the Equipment), unusual physical or electrical stress or causes other than normal and intended use;
(b) failure of Customer to provide and maintain a suitable installation environment, as specified in the Specifications; or
(c) malfunctions resulting from the use of badges or supplies not approved by Kronos.
If Customer is licensing Workforce Payroll Software the following additional warranty exclusions shall apply: i) Customer is solely responsible for
the content and accuracy of all reports and documents prepared in whole or in part by using the Software, (ii) using the Software does not release
Customer of any professional obligation concerning the preparation and review of such reports and documents, (iii) Customer does not rely upon
Kronos, Best Software, Inc. or the Software for any advice or guidance regarding compliance with federal and state laws or the appropriate tax
treatment of items reflected on such reports or documents, and (iv) Customer will review any calculations made by using the Software and satisfy
itself that those calculations are correct.
4. INDEMNIFICATION
Kronos agrees to indemnify Customer and to hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, fees and expenses (including reasonable
legal fees) relating to actual or alleged infringement of U.S. patents or copyrights asserted against Customer by virtue of Customer's use of the
Software as delivered and maintained by Kronos, provided that: i) Kronos is given prompt written notice of any such claim and has sole control over
the investigation, preparation, defense and settlement of such claim; and, ii) Customer reasonably cooperates with Kronos in connection with the
foregoing and provides Kronos with all information in Customer's possession related to such claim and any further assistance as reasonably
requested by Kronos. Kronos will have no obligation to indemnify Customer to the extent any such claim is based on the use of the Software with
software or equipment not supplied by Kronos. Should any or all of the Software as delivered and maintained by Kronos become, or in Kronos'
reasonable opinion be likely to become, the subject of any such claim, Kronos may at its option: i) procure for Customer the right to continue to use

This Agreement has a term of one (1) year commencing upon the expiration of any applicable warranty period, as specified in the Sales, Software
License and Services Agreement. The Agreement will be automatically extended for additional one year terms on the anniversary of its

Customer agrees to pay the Depot Exchange Support Charges set forth on the Order Form for each Equipment listed (“Product(s)”). Customer agrees
that all such Products owned by the Customer will be subject to this Agreement. Customer agrees that if Customer purchases, during the term of this

Kronos will invoice Customer for the annual Depot Exchange support charges each year in advance of the Renewal Date. Customer will pay Kronos
