SCHOOL REPORT’S – August 2009
GLENWOOD ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Construction
The renovations and improvements to our facilities are going well. The library has been
painted and the new carpet looks great. We also have a special addition to our library.
Ms. Honi Carmen, a long time DCIU employee who worked with the Intermediate Unit
program at Glenwood, recently passed away. In her will, she gave Glenwood a stained
glass window as a gift. This beautiful stained glass depicts a little girl reading a book in a
wheel chair.
The improvements to our classrooms and bathrooms will be ready for our students. The
construction of our elevator is progressing. The shaft will be complete and the actual
elevator car will be installed and operational soon after school begins.
Staffing
Beginning in May, the elementary principals began the process for hiring new teachers.
In my eight years in school administration, I found this year to be the most competitive
among teacher candidates. After screening, interviewing, and evaluating demonstration
lessons Bridget Martin and Julie Denton emerged as the most highly qualified for their
positions.
Bridget Martin is Glenwood’s new second grade teacher. Bridget comes to Glenwood
from St. Edmond’s Academy, where she taught second grade for the past two school
years. She comes highly recommended from her former school. Bridget is replacing
Laura Mandia who is taking maternity leave.
Julie Denton will join our third grade team. Julie is coming to Glenwood with several
years of teaching experience. Julie has experience with second and third graders. Most
recently she was a 6th grade teacher in the state of Maine.

Middletown Parks and Recreation Camp
Indian Lane hosted the Middletown Parks and Recreation Camp from mid June to August
7th for more than 50 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
Lenni Park, CN Skate Palace, and a bowling alley. Weekly visits by performers also
provided a fun experience for the campers.
Staff
Staff changes at Indian Lane included four new additions to our Instructional Assistant
positions. Joanne Dougherty, Ryan Lewis, Lori Quindlen and Cassie Dickman will join
our staff to assist as one-on-ones or classroom aides for our learning support students.
Teacher Abby Burke will be moving from fourth grade to third grade to fill a need in that
area.
Fifteen teachers met on August 18, 2009, to review our PSSA Writing scores and develop
plans for improvement. Each grade level created monthly writing prompts and a plan to
share the assessment of the student writing among their colleagues. This sharing of
student work will help facilitate consistency among the teachers and improve our
students’ writing outcomes. When our fifth graders are taking the PSSA Writing test in
April, students in grades 1-4 will take the “Indian Lane Writing Assessment” to help get
them ready for the actual test when they get to fifth grade.
New Students
New Indian Lane families joined us on August 20th for our New Student Orientation. The
students and parents were greeted by our new PTG President, Heidi Pflug and our
counselor, Jess Hilden. After a review of policies and procedures, the participants
received a tour of the school and participated in a scavenger hunt throughout the building.
Summer Projects
Indian Lane is receiving a new cafeteria floor. Due to past structural issues with the
cement slab, jackhammers were used to bring up parts of the floor that were cracked and
replaced with a water barrier to prevent future damage. New tile was selected and
installation will be completed soon.
Our custodial staff, led by Foreman Joel Schupp, is doing a wonderful job of getting our
facility ready for teachers, staff and students. Our parking lot spaces were re-painted
and our courtyard was spruced up and poison ivy was eradicated from the gardens.
We are looking forward to another wonderful year at Indian Lane.
MEDIA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
Summer Work
Summer projects are nearing completion. Several big projects, including the gym floor

Keystone Technology Integrator
Music teacher Jeanette Verdeur was selected to attend the Keystone Technology
Integrators’ Summit which was held at Bucknell University the last week in July. She was
one of 90 teachers from throughout the state selected, by competition, for their use of
technology within their curriculum. The teachers became the students attending classes
and lectures, revisiting dorm life, and networking within their subject area, grade-level,
and areas of expertise. The Summit focused on numerous topics surrounding technology
including the latest hardware and the countless Web 2.0 tools available for teachers and
students. Immediate practice time was given for all topics introduced and experts in
every field were available for support. Each Keystone was charged with “paying it
forward” in their own school districts. We can expect Mrs. Verdeur to offer a flex or two
this year for our staff.
Pennsylvania Writing Project
Fifth grade teacher, Claire McGeehan, participated in The Pennsylvania Writing and
Literature Project’s 2009 Summer Institute in the Teaching of Writing. The rigorous month
long program ended with a reception honoring the new fellows on July 23 at West
Chester University. Mrs. McGeehan is particularly interested in applying her learnings to
the preparation of grade five students for the PSSA in Writing.
E-Tools
Ten Media teachers attended RTM’s summer E-Tools Workshop. An additional two were
involved as facilitators. The teachers gave the experience rave reviews and they are all
looking forward to using their new SMARTBOARDS as they incorporate technology into

Many hours were spent this summer interviewing and selecting new staff members. We
are really pleased to welcome Sarah Pienkos (Grade 1, coming to us from Talllahassee,
Florida), Christine Seeley (Title 1 Math, who comes to us from the Downingtown School
District), and Evan O’Neill (grade 5, a Penncrest graduate who recently student taught at
Rose Tree). We are also happy to have some RTM veteran teachers join our staff: Sue
Williamson (grade 3, from gifted support) and Cathy Poulos (Grade1, from SLMS).
Delco Idol JR.
Principal, Maria Kotch, and several teachers (Sandy Gruber, Katherine Echeverria,
Desiree Barnes, and Claire McGeehan) were guest judges at The Delco Idol Jr. Contest
that took place at The Media Theatre for five weeks. Two RTM students, Emily
Chressanthis (Media) and Emily Ditzel (Indian Lane) made it to the final night. Dr.Gilbert
was also one of the judges for the final night.
Title 1 Summer School
Title 1 Summer School, ESY (extended school year classes for special education
students), and Reading Rockets were located at Media School this summer. Media
teacher, Elizabeth Coulter, directed the program. Approximately ninety children attended
the programs. In addition to an intense remedial academic experience, they were treated
to several special events including Movie Day and a sock hop.
