A Message from Dr. Ortiz, Principal of Sandy Run

Good afternoon, Sandy Run Families,

While our week at school has been filled with many highlights and positives, like so many of you my heart goes out to all those with family and friends impacted by the terrorist attack in Israel. I hope that a peaceful outcome is soon realized and healing can begin. In times like these, it is important to remember that we as a district are steadfast in our stance against hate of any kind, and the antisemitism that parts of the world have seen this week. Here at Sandy Run and in Upper Dublin as a whole, we are fortunate to have such a strong, united community. This strength has certainly been tested in various ways over recent years, but we have remained together and have seen the best of who and what we are.


Through the good times (such as 8th grade promotions, SRMS musicals, sports teams’ victories, and more) as well as the bad times (such as tornadoes, pandemics, and wars), one thing has been a constant, positive throughline: the strength of the UD community. I am truly fortunate to be both a graduate and proud employee of the Upper Dublin School District, and I have great gratitude to be a part of such a committed, caring, and united community. Thank you for all you do, and I hope you, your friends, and your families are well.


Sincerely,

Dan Ortiz

Field Hockey Beats Abington

Earlier this week, the SRMS Field Hockey team took on a tough Abington team and came out on top. The Cards have gotten off to a strong start, and it is great having our teams competing back on the SRMS campus - with a strong crowd, and a home field advantage, the SRMS Field Hockey team is sure to win a few more games!

SRMS Students of the Month

Last week, Dr. Ortiz and Ms. Nuskey welcomed a group of students recognized for their great efforts both inside and out of the classroom with a Student of the Month award. At Sandy Run, we are so lucky to have fantastic students all across our building - their leadership, citizenship, academic commitment, and simply friendly nature was on display throughout the month and we appreciate all of the efforts!
