Welcome back, Upper Moreland! We were thrilled to see so many smiling faces last week on the First Day of School.
Our Primary School was buzzing with activity last month! 🏫✨
🌟 Our Kindergarteners learned how to find their classrooms & navigate the school at their Orientation last week. They participated in a fun scavenger hunt to discover important locations like the cafeteria, art room, & gymnasium. They even hopped on a school bus to learn all about bus safety! Teachers, school staff, and community sports & activity groups were also on hand to chat with families about all they have to offer.
🌟 Grades 1 & 2 AND New Students to the District visited UMPS and had a great time meeting with our Principals, touring the building, & getting all their questions answered.
Special thanks to the HSA for providing our kiddos with new class shirts & popsicles!
Kindergarten families - tonight's the night! 🍦
Join us at 5:30 PM & meet Dr. Criss, Mrs. Sullivan, & your fellow Class of 2037 Golden Bears! Enjoy popsicles & fun on the playground, sponsored by the Upper Moreland Elementary HSA.
*Please remember to park in the front (main lot). The playground is located behind the school.

Sophia, a Junior at UMHS, organized an incredible Summer Olympics event for students aged 5-21 in the Extended School Year (ESY) program. The day was full of fun as we celebrated everyone's abilities!
The event kicked off at the Olympic Museum, where students learned all about the history of the Games. Next was a Pass the Torch relay race, where students demonstrated teamwork & speed. Adapted sports like seated tennis allowed everyone to compete - similar to Wheelchair Tennis in the Paralympics.
Students cheered as classmates tried their hand at the long jump & shot put. For the art lovers, there was the option to create Olympics-themed paintings & participate in artistic gymnastics. It was a day all about having fun and feeling proud of what everyone could achieve!

Congratulations to Ms. Baron's 1st-grade class for winning the global reading competition and earning the title "2024 All-Pro Reader Team"! The competition, organized by the Share the Magic Foundation, was called READBowl 2024: The World Championship of Reading. It required Ms. Baron's students to read & log their minutes over the four weeks leading up to the Super Bowl.
As a reward for their achievement, UMPS was visited by NFL Super Bowl Champion Malcolm Mitchell - author & Founder/CEO of the Share the Magic Foundation. This afternoon, Malcolm led a Reading Rally where students participated in a high-energy, pep rally-style assembly that included a magic show & read-along. At the Reading Rally, each student received a free copy of his book, "My Very Favorite Book in the Whole Wide World."
Malcolm's mission is to inspire young people to read & to provide motivation that reading is the key to achieving one's goals. A BIG thank you to the Share the Magic Foundation, Booster, & the UM Elementary HSA for making this event possible!
This month, our 2nd-graders at UMPS celebrated diversity & culture by exploring dances from around the world in their Music class!
