Jenkintown School Board Brief
April 2025 - Vol. 4 Issue 4
Message from Dr. Megan O'Brien, School Board President
Dear School Community:
As April ends, we are looking forward to a very busy May and June to close out the school year, especially the upcoming Red & Blue Fair and Color Day festivities. The Board would like to congratulate Dr. Chris Jahnke and Ms. Susan Medina on their well-earned retirements, and we wish them all the best with their future plans. Once again, we are thrilled to congratulate Ava Bartlett, a senior in the Welding Technology program at Eastern Center for Arts & Technology for earning a bronze medal at the PA state SkillsUSA competition. We are so proud of all of our students' achievements and are grateful for our dedicated team of administrators, faculty and staff who keep our district moving forward.
Warmly,
Dr. Megan O'Brien, President (Go Reds!)
