Ms. Marianne Whiteman was married over the summer and is now Mrs. Dabrowski.

Facilities

A big thank you goes out to Sue Iannetti who has worked so hard to get the office and all the supplies/paperwork in order and up and running. Greg Bost and the custodians as well as the district maintenance crew have once again prepared the campus for the start of the school year. The renovation projects are almost complete and both of our book rooms are getting organized for all our new materials.

All the classrooms are clean and ready for our students’ safe return!

INDIAN LANE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Indian Lane once again hosted the Middletown Parks and Recreation Camp this summer for more than 40 children each week. The campers participated in sporting events, arts and crafts projects, and free play. They also took a weekly trip to places such as Hidden

Hollow Swim Club, CN Skate Palace, and a bowling alley. Weekly visits by performers also provided a fun experience for the campers.

We also hosted two weeks of a Writing Camp sponsored by the Pennsylvania Writing

Project based at West Chester University. Indian Lane teacher Lisa Parkinson was one of two camp leaders.

We had a large amount of work done this summer. While Indian Lane looks great and has been well-maintained, it has been more than 20 years since the school was renovated. Here is a list of projects completed this summer:

- new stage storage doors

- new stage curtains

- new lobby floor tiles were installed after repairing the sub-floor

- a section of the cafeteria floor was repaired

- air conditioning was added to the cafeteria/multi-purpose room

- a new clock and intercom system was installed

- several sections of sidewalk were replaced

Thank you to the Board of School Directors for supporting needed capital improvement projects.

More than 30 people attended our New Student Orientation on August 22. The students and parents were greeted by the PTG President, Lisa Huggett and met our counselor,

Jessica Hilden. After a review of policies and procedures, the participants received a tour of the school and enjoyed a treat.

Numerous Indian Lane teachers attended the Readers Workshop Training this summer delivered by staff developers from Teachers College at Columbia University. We are looking forward to fully implementing this reading philosophy/program.

We added new developmental special education classroom to accommodate the large number of students we are working with from Early Intervention programs. Indian Lane has sixteen students enrolled in special education from the other three elementary buildings

We are excited that school is about to begin!

MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Building Preparation

Our entire staff has been working very hard to prepare the building for the start of school.

We will, of course, be ready. The task of unpacking and locating materials after the move back from Nativity BVM School has, in fact, been monumental.

Mosaics Mounted

A series of mosaic panels that are inspired by multicultural textile patterns was recently hung in the cafeteria. Our fifth graders created the panels with the assistance of visiting artist Claire Brill. They are a beautiful addition to the cafeteria.

Readers’ Workshop

Many of our teachers and Mrs. Kotch participated in a four day workshop with trainers from Columbia University’s Teachers’ College. We were divided into two groups according to grade level where we received very extensive training on readers’ workshop.

New Staff

The Media School staff will look very different this year. Retirements, grade level changes, and transfers to other buildings have all contributed. Parents were notified of all the changes by voicemail and e-alert. We are very excited to welcome the 2013-2014

Media staff. Check out our web site to view the new “line up.”

Open House

We will be welcoming everyone back on Thursday, August 29 at 2:00 for our annual Open

House. This year’s theme is “Welcome Home!”

Fair Trade

A committee from our PTG is working on acquiring Fair Trade certification for our school.

Many of our events, like the Welcome Back Picnic, will have a fair trade component.

Mural Artist

Artist Brian Cesario has been busy recreating the literary theme mural in our library.

ROSE TREE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Rose Tree Elementary School has been a hive of activity this summer.

From June 24 through July 19, many children entering kindergarten through fifth grade attended the Upper Providence Township Summer Recreational Camp which was held at

Rose Tree Elementary. With the guidance of the camp counselors, the children were kept busy with arts and crafts, drama, story time and special event days.

We were extremely fortunate to have our teachers attend a four-day Reader’s Workshop in-service at the end of July. This in-service was led by consultants from Teacher’s

College at Columbia University. The professional development that the teachers received was exemplary and will certainly support the literacy instruction that takes place in the classroom this year.

The custodial staff at Rose Tree Elementary has worked tirelessly to prepare the school building for the new school year. Besides the preparation of the building, we have also had some significant maintenance projects being attended to. An air-conditioning unit was installed in the cafeteria. In addition, the air-conditioning units in the teacher’s lounge, server room, and computer lab were replaced. The flooring in the main stairwell of the building was replaced and the associated fixtures were painted. The bathroom walls in the kindergarten and first grade classrooms were fitted with fiberglass reinforced plastic while the partitions in the remaining student bathrooms have been replaced. All

thermostats and valves throughout the building have been replaced with electronic controls. This means that the climate control of the rooms is controlled by a centrally located computer.

We look forward to welcoming our staff and students back in the next few weeks and thank everyone who has helped us prepare for the new school year.

SPRINGTON LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL

Springton Lake had a busy summer hosting Summer Enrichment Classes and The

Extended School Year.

Sixth Grade Transition Camp

Springton Lake hosted new sixth grade students, on Tuesday, August 13 and Monday,

August 19, during “Transition Camp.” The event included a General Session, where both new students and parents learned valuable information about the sixth grade experience and met key personnel and resources. Following the overview, parents said good bye to their students for the balance of the morning. Camp consisted of three interactive workshops led by Administrators and Guidance, each session aimed at easing anxieties through positive social-emotional activities. Next, an expert panel of seventh grade students fielded a wide variety of questions posed by new sixth graders, wondering about what middle school life will be like. Finally, everyone enjoyed a picnic barbeque and “get to know social” to close out Camp.

New Seventh and Eighth Grade Student Meet & Greet

Springton Lake Administration hosted new seventh and eighth grade students in a dinner meet and greet orientation on Wednesday, August 21. During this interactive workshop, students had the opportunity to get to know fellow new students, interact with

Administrators, seek answers to questions, obtain an overview of schedules, and tour their school.

Construction

Punch lists continue to be addressed over the summer.

We are looking forward to the best year ever at Springton Lake!

PENNCREST HIGH SCHOOL

Italy and visit the cities of Rome, Herculeaneum, Pompeii, Florence, Sienna, and the Isle of Capri.
