Glenside Elementary celebrated its kindest scholars at its first PBIS assembly of the school year on Thursday. Five students from each grade were chosen as Students of the Month for exemplifying the focus agreement of "Be Kind." Scholars walked through the spirit tunnel of their pom-pom-clad classmates as parents and guardians watched their students receive their certificates. 

During the assembly, students were introduced to the focus agreement for October, "Be Safe." The school meets once a month to celebrate scholar achievement around the focus agreements, share information on upcoming events and fundraisers, sing chants and cheers, practice mindfulness and close with the singing of the school song.

Congratulations to all the Student of the Month recipients for September!

To keep students safe and prepared, CSD conducted school bus safety drills throughout this week. With the help of school safety officers, and facilities and transportation staff, students practiced disembarking the bus from the rear emergency exit in case of an emergency. 

“Safety First! School bus evacuation drills teach our students how to respond if there's ever an emergency on the bus,” said CSD Supervisor of Transportation Dawn Woods. “Practicing these drills helps ensure that everyone stays safe and calm while exiting the bus when there’s an emergency.”

After exiting the bus safely, students were reminded why bus safety is important in an emergency situation. 

“Just like we have fire drills for building safety, we need to practice for emergencies on the bus as well,” said Myers Principal Jason Lytle. “While it’s never happened in all my years as a principal, it’s important to be prepared.”

For their annual celebration of learning, the Glenside Elementary School kindergarten classes enjoyed the fourth annual Community Helpers Fair on Friday, May 30. Throughout May, students learned about different types of communities and community helpers. During this unit, kindergarteners learned the characteristics of rural, suburban and urban communities. They also learned about important community helpers, including police officers, firefighters, teachers, doctors, postal workers and construction workers. The classes created crafts and writing pieces to display their learning. As a culminating activity, teachers Kirby Brown, Caitlin McCalister and Catherine Bergmueller collaborated with the Cheltenham community to plan a community fair. More than 20 community helpers came to the Glenside bus loop to share their roles with the kindergarteners. Helpers brought essential supplies, tools, trucks, vehicles and giveaways. A special thank you to the Cheltenham School District Administration team who attended this meaningful event.
