Dear School Community:

Once again, we'd like to thank all of the first responders who were honored at our March 17th Board Meeting for their service during the SPS fire. We are grateful for their dedication to our local communities, and it was heartwarming to see how many Jenkintown alumni we had certificates for. The Board would also like to thank our community members for sharing their perspectives on cell phone use in the school district. We are looking forward to the Project Reboot assembly on Wednesday, April 9th, so that the discussion can continue. Thank you to Mr. Roller for inviting Mr. Dino Ambrosi to present on this important topic.

Wishing everyone a restful spring break,

Dr. Megan O'Brien, President
