This Week's Scouting Report
Thursday August 21, 2025
Ready, Set, Go... Glenwood School Season Kicks Off!
Wednesday started with RTMSD "Opening Ceremonies." All staff attended a meeting at Penncrest High School and our Roaring Lions Marching Band and Cheerleaders started the morning off with an energetic performance (and a sneak peak of a song from their field show). It was such an exciting way to WELCOME BACK all our staff as we prepare for the upcoming school year!
We look forward to seeing everyone Thursday August 28th during our New Family Welcome, Kindergarten Orientation, or Open House.
9 a.m. - AM Kindergarten Orientation
10 a.m. - PM Kindergarten Orientation
1 p.m. - New Family Welcome
2 p.m. - Open House
Save the Date: Back to School Nights
Monday September 15th (K-2)

Parents and guardians are invited to meet with your child's teacher as they review curriculum, introduce families to the classroom structure and procedures, and provide an overview of the year. We offer two sessions of the classroom presentation so you may attend a time that works best for you (and allow those with multiple students to visit both rooms). This is an adult-only event, no students or younger siblings.
We will follow this schedule for both evenings:
6:30 p.m. - 7 p.m.: Classroom Presentation
6:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m.: Meet our Specialists in the Library
7:05 p.m. - 7:35 p.m.: Repeat Classroom Presentation
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to Mrs. Christa Consadene cconsadene@rtmsd.org.

Kindergarten Dash - Come Cheer them On!
We are inviting all incoming Kindergarten students to our KINDERGARTEN DASH on Friday September 5th! Kindergarten students are invited to run the length of the turf field together before our 7 pm first home football game! We will provide all Kindergarten students with a "Future LION" t-shirt they can wear for the event.
Our Penncrest Lions face Haverford High School - kick off 7 pm... enjoy our Roaring Lions Marching Band halftime show... support our senior class by purchasing a snack (or dinner) at the concession stand... stock up on Penncrest football swag at the booster tent... what better way to KICK OFF the upcoming school year!!!
Kindergarten students should plan to arrive at 6:15 pm, meet on the track at 6:30 pm (near the scoreboard end of the field). Dash will be held at 6:40 pm - students will be asked to quickly leave the field after the run, to allow the football team time to warm up. This is NOT a drop-off event. We ask only one parent/guardian on the field with your Kindergarten student (no siblings).
Admission for the football game is $5/adult (ages 12 and older)... cash only, please try to have exact change. For any questions, please contact penncrestathleticboosters@gmail.com.
