The Energy Transfer Veterans Memorial Rink is located at 4901 West Chester Pike, next to the Shoppes at Marville, where the Starbucks and Bonefish Grill are. Flight on Ice's Newtown Square Rink debuted in 2021 and has quickly become a beloved fixture in the community. The rink has delighted thousands of visitors in just two short years, garnering accolades such as "Best of Delco 2022 & 2023 Fun Day Family Outing," as voted on by readers of the Delaware County Daily Times.

This year, with the expansion of the newly landscaped Beer Park, the Flight On Ice and Tired Hands teams are collaborating to create an even more captivating winter wonderland. Patrons can look forward to an array of family-friendly fun, including a weekly makers market with rotating food trucks, a kids zone with moon bounces from One Stop Party Shop, spacious heated tents for comfort, a large LED TV Display to watch an Eagles game or a movie, cozy fire pits to enjoy your S'mores, open-air gazebos, and much more.

We are always looking for ways to enhance our guest experience, and we are thrilled that Tired Hands has agreed to join us this season." Jean Broillet IV, Owner of Tired Hands, echoes Schaffer's sentiment, "We are absolutely blown away by how the local community has embraced our Beer Park since we opened this past Spring, and we are excited to keep it going through the winter with our friends at Flight. The footprint will change a bit, but the same killer beer menu and great vibe will continue, with plans for some fun holiday-themed additions". Flight is known for its level events and will release their full schedule soon, but keep an eye out for the annual Tree Lighting, an Eagles Autism Skate, Santa on a Firetruck & Santa on Ice Days, Silent Headphone Skate Parties, Holiday Movie Nights, a Country Christmas date with Audra McLaughlin, a Delco Christmas Party with DJ Jay Roy and a Kids Noon Years Eve Party on December 31st, just to name a few.

"We are committed to carrying out the DCVMA's mission of educating and inspiring our youth on the liberties made affordable to us by those who served this great country," said Schaffer. "This season, we will roll out new fundraising programs, including a DCVMA IPA from Tired Hands, to help achieve our goals."

Got a question about life in Philly’s suburbs? Our suburban reporters want to hear from you! Ask us a question or send an idea for a story you think we should cover.

The Marple Newtown School District is embroiled in tense contract negotiations with its teachers.

Representing more than 320 instructors across the district’s six schools, the Marple Newtown Education Association says the district spends the lowest percentage of its budget on teachers salaries in comparison to surrounding districts in Delaware County.

“We’re in this job for kids. We want what’s best for kids. But, we also need to value ourselves as well,” said Andrew Davis, president of the teachers union and a guidance counselor at Paxon Hollow Middle School.

More than 3,600 students attend the well-performing school district. With a student-to-teacher ratio better than the Pennsylvania average, students have the resources to perform at a high level.

While the teachers union has applauded the district for hiring more teachers in recent years, it has warned the board that if compensation issues aren’t resolved, the district could face a mass teacher exodus.

Davis said morale is already at an all-time low amongst teachers.

“It looks like we’re just fighting for ourselves, but we’re fighting for ourselves because we want to be in there with your kids, educating your children and your families, and making Marple Newtown a fantastic place to continue to live and grow,” Davis said.

More than 40 teachers left Marple Newtown in 2022.

“These people were going specifically to make more money at different districts and just to get out of the situation that they were in,” said Mike Snow, the head negotiator for MNEA and a math teacher at Marple Newtown High School.

Teacher wages are often determined by years of experience, also known as steps. The teachers union says the district has implemented six step freezes since 2009 that have had a permanent impact on educator salaries.

Snow said there are teachers who have been employed at the district for 15 years, who should be on step 15 — who are actually being paid on step 9. Snow said at least 115 teachers have been impacted by at least one step freeze and it has had a huge impact on career earnings.

According to Snow, some educators at Marple Newtown have lost between $40,000 to $150,00 in career earnings.

In addition, the teachers union said Marple Newtown has painfully low starting salaries for educators in comparison to neighboring districts. Starting salaries are below $50,000. Snow said all of this has occurred while Marple Newtown runs a surplus in its education budget and invests millions of dollars in capital projects.

A large part of the negotiation is focused on the percent salary increase, or the increment. Part of the increment is used to move teachers to the next step.

Union negotiators believe a lower increment would make themselves more affordable for the district and taxpayers in the future, while always allowing for teachers to be moved to the next step.

The union has put forth a proposition which would raise teacher wages, including starting salaries, and fix the salary schedule following the step freezes. He said fixing the step freezes comes with a “large upfront cost,” but it will create a situation where money won’t be the main point of contention for future negotiations.

“Our current proposal has it to the point where we can accept below county average raises in the future and we will be happy,” Snow said.

In a written statement provided to WHYY News, Marple Newtown Board President Matthew Bilker said they stand by the offer the board has put on the table, because it “will ensure that the district’s salary schedule is competitive while maintaining our current level of benefits.”

“Our board directors are not privy to all of the details of internal contract discussions that occurred between prior negotiating teams representing the district and union. We do know that any past step freezes would have been negotiated and agreed to by both the union and the school district, and that step freezes that have occurred over the past decade do not necessarily correlate with pay freezes,” the statement read.

The school board said it is facing a different employment environment than it was pre-pandemic, on top of a nationwide teacher shortage.

“Our goals during these contract negotiations are to ensure our salaries are competitive with other peer districts in Delaware County, to promote teacher retention, to acknowledge our staff members who have been loyal to our students and community, to promote growth and adjustments within the salary scale, and to raise the starting and max salaries for teachers,” the statement read.

In recent weeks, community members in the district have thrown their support behind the teachers. The public showed up to the March school board meeting in full force to speak directly before the board.

The current contract between Marple Newtown and the teachers union ends in June.

A popular Philadelphia bagel shop is planning to open seven new locations by the end of 2023, including its first three outside of the Philly region.

Spread Bagelry, best known for its hand-rolled, Montreal-style bagels, is set to open four new stores in the Philly suburbs, two locations in Charleston and an outpost in Savannah over the next several months. The small chain has opened at least one store each year since 2019, the Philadelphia Business Journal reported.

Spread Bagelry customers can see the bagel-making process firsthand, watching as the baked goods are paddled from the oven. The shop offers 15 types of loose bagels, as well as coffee and sandwiches made with fish and meat almost entirely prepared in-house. Spread also makes its own cream cheese, including gourmet flavors like apple brown butter, jalapeño lime and maple bacon.

Montreal-style bagels differ from other types because they are hand-shaped, boiled in honey water and baked in a wood-fire oven. The result is a crispier and sweeter bread, noticeably different from the traditional New York bagel. The process pulls its inspiration from Polish and other Eastern European immigrants who brought the method with them to North America.

Since opening its doors in Rittenhouse Square in 2010, Spread Bagelry has expanded steadily in the region, most recently opening a location in Cherry Hill. As the company began looking for ways to expand, commercial landlords began offering attractive deals to bring the shop's "activated energy for the morning and lunchtime crowds" into their towns, Jamie Schrotberger, the CEO of Spread, said.

"We were (already) looking to expand outside of the region, but we were also trying to get the learning experience of operating a store outside of Philadelphia," Schrotberger continued. "We saw opportunities in different towns and cities, and thought about which ones really resemble Philly and the suburbs. We decided on Charleston and Mt. Pleasant, a suburb just outside of Charleston, as an ideal landscape for a Philly crowd that could enjoy our products and whose demographics are similar to those we see in Philly or out on the Main Line."

The first of seven stores will open in the Promenade at Upper Dublin in May, followed by stores in Ambler and Mt. Pleasant scheduled to open in early June. Three stores in Wynnewood, Charleston and Savannah are slated to open between August and September.

Spread Bagelry's 17th store will open in Newtown Square around Thanksgiving. The Bucks County location is expected to be 50% bigger than the company's typical shop, Schrotberger said.

Spread Bagelry may establish different hours of operation and culinary offerings for each store depending on consumer needs. Though the stores are typically open from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m., the company is exploring longer hours as a way to potentially add new products and develop community-specific menu offerings.

"Every store is unique and based on the neighborhood surrounding it," Schrotberger said. "We have our more artistic store on South Street or our store in Bryn Mawr, which is right near the train station and was designed to look like a vintage train. I think that because every store's design is focused on its neighborhood, there will be some added features even though the core of the business is the same."

After this year's expansion, Spread Bagelry is eyeing locations closer to home in New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

NEWTOWN — Get ready for a night of fun, food, and community at Newtown Square’s Circle at Sundown, 5 to 8:30 p.m. Sunday, May 21.

The township’s second annual community street party will be held in the heart of Newtown Square in the streets of St. Alban’s Circle and Chapel Road.

“This event is all about bringing people together, promoting local businesses, building stronger community connections, and celebrating the hard work of those who make our town more livable,” said Paul Seligson, chairman of the Newtown Square Business Association.

Gather in the Circle, Newtown Township, and the Newtown Square Business Association are teaming up to bring the community the biggest street party, yet.

Don’t miss out on mouth-watering food from popular local restaurants including Tiffin Indian Cuisine and Fresco Pizza Grill, or on the sweet treats from Newtown Square Farmers Market vendors Heavenly Sweet Chocolates and Dough Sweet.

Troubles End Brewing, Collegeville, will once again be serving up ice-cold beer in a beer garden, and food trucks such as Twisted Elegance and Tone’s Spot will offer more culinary delights.

The party includes a number of activities for families and kids, including face painting, outdoor games, and chalk art led by a local artist.

Dancers from the Top and Twirl dance studios will pump up the energy with live performances, while local musicians will add to the good vibes. People can take part in a community yoga session from Yoga in the Circle, test their woodworking skills with Board and Brush, create seed bombs with Willistown Conservation Trust, and say hello to Garrett Williamson’s sheep.

Local boutiques such as Bunny Hare’s and Grace and Kate Boutique will hold sidewalk sales.

“We’re committed to creating a more sustainable community by activating a mixed-use and charming central area of town that is walkable to nearby neighborhoods,” said Linda McIsaac, founder of Gather in the Circle, a community-led nonprofit focused on fostering a more vibrant Newtown Square.

The event will minimize its environmental impact by using recycled and borrowed materials for the design, and by encouraging the use of eco-friendly products and recycling. Various civic groups such as the local library, historical society, firehouse, and area green organizations will be on hand to showcase their work.
