Kindergarten teachers in a Pennsylvania school district are seeing double this year as 17 sets of twins entered their school, all members of the graduating class of 2036. Morgan Weiser, the mother of Ridge Park Elementary twins Logan and Mia, told Fox News Digital, “There’s usually a couple of sets here and there, which is not abnormal. But to have 17 sets in the incoming kindergarten grade for our district is kind of wild.”<\/p>\n

It’s a first for the Colonial School District, which serves Plymouth Township, Conshohocken, and Whitemarsh Township, northwest of Philadelphia. The district’s community relations coordinator, Jessica Lester, told Fox News Digital, “This is a very unique situation. In recent history, no one can recall this many sets of twins entering kindergarten at the same time.” The phenomenon unfolded over the summer as the district’s registrar started picking up on a trend.<\/p>\n

Lester said, “She would periodically stop by my office to let me know the numbers of twins registered for kindergarten because she knew it was so unusual. Each time she stopped in with a new number, I figured I wouldn’t hear from her again, and then she would give me another update.” She added that district officials were “certainly surprised” as the numbers continued to grow.<\/p>\n

Lester added, “We are fortunate that the twins’ families also found some humor and excitement in this unusual occurrence.” Ridge Park Elementary School leads the pack with seven pairs, while Whitemarsh Elementary School welcomed six sets, and Plymouth Elementary greeted four sets. Twin-dergarten, as it’s been dubbed, started for the unique group of students in September, followed by a week of kindergarten orientation activities. Everyone couldn’t help but notice the abundance of twins.<\/p>\n
