Dear Maple Glen Families,

We are excited to share that we are looking forward to some pleasant weather this coming week, which will assist us with our upcoming school events. Additionally, we would like to highlight some of the wonderful activities and achievements from this week, showcasing the hard work and creativity of our students.

Warmest regards,

This week, the MGES Chorus took center stage for two outstanding performances, showcasing the hard work and musical growth of our more than 70 student singers. The chorus delighted audiences with a unique selection of songs that highlighted a wide range of musical styles, dynamics, and vocal expression. Their confidence and enthusiasm were evident in every performance as they shared their talents with family, friends, and our school community.

Under the direction of Mr. Brittain, our students truly sang their hearts out. We are incredibly proud of our chorus members and grateful to Mr. Brittain for his leadership and passion in helping our students reach new heights. Thank you to all the parents who supported our chorus students with the early morning rehearsals.

I would like to recognize the Maple Glen Elementary Girls on the Run who completed their 5k a few weeks ago. The third, fourth, and fifth grade girls and their caregivers completed 3.1 miles in style! We are SO PROUD of all of you!

Special thanks to Mary-Eileen Zadlo for volunteering her time to coach again this season despite her daughter being too young for the program, and to Mr. Pestridge for showing up to support his fifth graders on a Saturday morning, during Teacher Appreciation Week no less! Thank you for your time and dedication to our students!

We’ve had a great year of events and are already looking forward to the next one. A flyer will be coming home soon regarding a few final things:

• We are collecting monetary donations to show our appreciation to all our incredible MGES staff, including, but not limited to, encore teachers, office staff, nurse, reading specialists, kitchen staff, custodians, etc.
• If you’d like to contribute, donate here.
• In gearing up for another successful year, we’d love to hear from YOU! If you’d kindly share a few minutes of your time, we’d love some feedback.
• Take our brief survey here.

On May 20, our Teaching and Learning Office hosted Middle School Math to help parents/guardians with students currently in grades 5-7 understand expansions to our middle school math program for the 2026/27 school year. For those who were unable to attend in-person, a recording of the presentation is now available.

As the school year comes to a close, there are still a few meaningful ways to celebrate the people who made it special. Honor a graduate with a commemorative brick or paver at Upper Dublin High School. Say thank you to a teacher, staff member, or bus driver who made an impact on your child's school year with a Cardinal Kudos. Each honoree will receive a special UDEF certificate in recognition of your gift. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or recognizing someone who made a difference this year, your tribute helps support innovative learning opportunities for Upper Dublin students.

If your child will not be returning to the Upper Dublin School District for the 2026–2027 school year due to a family move, school transfer, or other reason, please contact your child’s building office before the close of the school year to inform them.
