Dear School Community:

Fall is in full swing with our athletic and arts programs, and we're looking ahead to American Education Week. I want to encourage everyone to view the Jenkintown School District 150th Celebration video at the link below. Our students, staff and alumni are absolutely wonderful representatives of our district, and the documentary truly captures the enduring character of our school community. During our Homecoming festivities on Friday, October 25th, we inducted our inaugural group of alumni to our new Hall of Fame. It was a pleasure hosting our distinguished alumni and their families, and we hope to continue this tradition into the future. Thank you for reading, and stay tuned for some important news in November!

Warmly,

Dr. Megan O'Brien
