At the start of the Nov. 10 meeting, an East Penn High School Student Government Association representative updated the board on student activities, college visits and athletics and described new student engagement efforts.
The SGA report said senior orders for the Class of 2026 must be completed before Dec. 4 and listed recent and upcoming college visits: Moravian University, the University of Alabama and Penn State University this week, with King's College and Penn West California scheduled Nov. 11. Student groups reported recent and upcoming work: Interact Club ran an animal food drive on Nov. 7; the National Honor Society will induct new members on Nov. 12; and all high-school clubs will take yearbook photos on Nov. 11. The theater department performed The Diary of Anne Frank last week and the math team placed fourth out of 32 teams, with Thomas Amdur placing fourth among 128 competitors.
The superintendent’s district update reiterated those highlights and celebrated fall athletics: the cross-country teams finished 15th as teams at the PIAA state meet and senior Maddie McCartney won the PIAA cross-country individual championship; varsity teams advanced into postseason play, with field hockey headed to state semifinals Nov. 11. Administrators also previewed community events, including a TechConnect program planned Dec. 3 that pairs high-school students with senior citizens to help with personal device skills.
Dr. Campbell introduced Dane Buttafuoco as East Penn’s new director of community relations, who "started in the district today" and whose background includes a degree from Towson University and prior work as a TV news anchor, reporter and producer, most recently at WFMZ in Allentown. "We're very fortunate that Dane has chosen East Penn as her new professional home," Dr. Campbell said.
Board members praised the theater production and student accomplishments and welcomed the new communications director. The meeting also announced upcoming district events: the LCTI open house on Nov. 20, district Thanksgiving luncheons for senior citizens, bus drivers and crossing guards, and a district closure for the Thanksgiving holiday Nov. 27–Dec. 1.
The board encouraged community attendance at upcoming events and thanked students and staff for recent achievements.
