North Penn Neighbors for Progress

Last night we were invited to the 
North Montco Technical Career Center’s annual holiday dinner and it was a huge success!

This year’s theme, A Taste of Italy, showcased the incredible talent of NMTCC students across multiple programs. Every part of the evening was student-prepared and student-led—from the food to the experience itself.

Participating programs included:
• Culinary Arts
• Bakery & Pastry Arts
• Service Occupations
• Advertising Design
• Construction Carpentry
• Graphic Arts
• Machining, Manufacturing & Engineering
• Property Maintenance & Renovation

From expertly prepared dishes and desserts to the setup, presentation, and overall ex*****on, this event was a perfect example of hands-on learning and real-world skills in action. It was Incredible work by the students and instructors who made this night possible and we would like to thank them for all of their hard work!

The student journalism of the The Knight Crier continues to shine a light on community issues.

For the last one and a half years, the discussion of School Police Officers in the North Penn District has been moving up through its phases to reach the full board.

A ton (2 technically) of support! Thank you to everyone that was able to contribute!

On Election Day we asked you to bring non-perishable food donations to the polls and you responded. Thank you for helping us to help others in our community. So much food came in that we are still sorting and gathering donations, but we have a few numbers from the scale at Manna on Main Street. The Towamencin Democratic Committee donated 1026 pounds of food to our local food bank with the Montgomery Township Democratic Committee close behind at 1002. The Lansdale Democratic Committee estimates their donation to be over 1000 pounds and numbers are still coming in from Hatfield, Upper Gwynedd, and North Wales. We estimate that you gave at least 4000 pounds of food for needy families on Election Day. That's two tons! Thank you for your generosity! We are all in this together.

We are humbled and thrilled to share that our North Penn Neighbors for Progress slate has been elected to the North Penn School Board, backed by a clear and resounding mandate from our community.

Thank you to every voter, volunteer, neighbor, educator, student, and friend who supported our campaign and the positive vision we put forward. You knocked on doors, wrote postcards, hosted meet-and-greets, and showed up for our schools in ways that made all the difference.

We are deeply grateful for your support, encouragement, and guidance. To those who may not have voted for us, we hope to earn your trust in the years ahead. This outcome reflects our shared belief that in North Penn, public education should be inclusive and transparent and that every student deserves a high-quality education where they can learn and thrive.

As we take office, we promise to listen carefully, lead responsibly, and keep working together to strengthen our schools and our community. That work begins now, and we’re ready to get started.

Thank you, North Penn Community, it is an honor and a privilege to serve you!

💙 THANK YOU, NORTH PENN! 💙

What a journey it’s been! Over these past months, we’ve knocked on thousands of doors, joined dozens of community events, and had countless meaningful conversations with neighbors from all walks of life.

Our candidates haven’t just talked about showing up — they’ve been there, attending public board and action meetings, serving on committees, and staying engaged in the work that matters most to our schools, families and students.

We’ve listened, we’ve learned, and we are ready to deliver the future our community deserves. Now it’s time to finish strong. 💪

🗳️ Tomorrow, November 4th, is Election Day!
Head to the polls, and make your voice heard for North Penn’s future.

🥫Reminder: we are collecting non perishable food items at all polling locations. Please bring something if you can! Your neighbors in the community need it more than ever.

Let’s do this, North Penn! 💙

Please take the time to listen to the statements from our District Superintendent Dr. Bauer, School Board President Cathy McMurtrie, and the Chair of our Safe Schools Committee Jonathan Kassa given at last nights Action Meeting at the ESC.

We thank the current Board and Admin for their years of policy implementation and focus on school safety, that helped ensure that the incident a few days ago didn’t result in the worst case scenario.

We are also all forever thankful to our local law enforcement and school security for successfully de-escalating a very delicate situation. May their bravery not be forgotten
