News from the Nest
I am so very grateful to have joined the Upper Dublin Cardinal Family! Thank you for making me feel welcome, sharing your thoughts, and letting me get to know you. It's only been 6 months since I arrived, but even in that short time I know that Upper Dublin is a special place ~ both within the District and within our larger community.
The last few weeks have been filled with learning, laughter, field trips, activities, and events. From field days to promotional assemblies, we've celebrated our students and their accomplishments this year. It was an honor to participate in many of these events. One sunny day in late May I was soaked in the dunk tank at Thomas Fitzwater and then participated in the Masked Singer at Fort Washington. I have thoroughly enjoyed being included in events like these, interacting with our students, staff, and families.
The graduation ceremony was an amazing culmination of our school year, celebrating not only our graduates and their hard work, but also the family, friends, and staff members who supported their journey over the years. I wish each of you fun and relaxation this summer with your families and friends.
While summer is an exciting time for many families, it also prompts change from the structured schedule that our students experience throughout the school year, which can be difficult for some students and their families. Please know that assistance is available throughout the summer. Many resources can be found by visiting the District's Counseling website.
On May 30th, we raised the Pride flag which is a symbol of love, acceptance, and equality. This flag represents our commitment to creating an inclusive environment where everyone feels respected and valued.
Raising the flag celebrates our diversity and the beautiful spectrum of identities that make up our community. It is inspiring to see the many activities and events within our community that promote a sense of belonging and honoring of individuality.
We are proud that Upper Dublin was the first school district in Montgomery county to raise the Pride flag five years ago, and we are thrilled to be able to continue the tradition of being among the first in Montgomery county every year to fly the flag!
Thank you for making our community a place where everyone can live openly and authentically.
