Hello, and welcome to this edition of Mornings. I'm Carly Buera.
And I'm Dublina Kandu. We have a lot to tell you, so let's get right into it.
The North Penn Marching Nights competed in the first U.S. band's show of the season
at Upper Dublin High School against local high schools. Our Marching Nights captured
first place with a score of 82.6. They also received caption awards for Best Overall
Effect, Best Music, Best Visual, Best Percussion, and Best Color Guard. This
weekend, they compete at Central Bugs. Good luck Marching Nights.
North Penn's cybersecurity class got a special opportunity this week with an
exclusive tour of the North Penn School District Technology Suite. Students
are currently working on their school security audit project, where they try to
think like a criminal in order to find vulnerabilities in school
architecture. Various NP security engineers and architects led the
students through the server room, informing students of the various
backups and fail states the district has in case of an attack. If any sophomores
or juniors are interested in activities like this, be sure to put cybersecurity
in your class schedule for next year.
High school is still a buzz with restoration and renovation. Here's
this month's construction update.
As we move into fall phase one of the North Penn High School renovation
project continues to make strong progress. Let's take a look at the
September 2025 milestones. In the netatorium, ceiling and wall painting is
nearly complete. Just one small section by the bleacher remains, which will be
finished once scaffolding comes down next week. The locker room painting has
begun and sound panels in the ceiling are fully installed. Crews also have
started installing ceiling panels in the pole locker rooms. NK pod floor
grinding is underway during the early morning hours to reduce noise
concerns while roofing crews continue hot air welding, flashing, and
installing metal coping along the parapet walls. Plumbing work continues in
wall roughins for gas lines, new eyewash station valves on the third floor of
K pod and rough ends for water fountains in the netatorium. Electrical teams
installed new panels in the basement pool equipment room and first floor
storage area while adding outlets and lighting in classrooms and
corridors. A brief shutdown on September 23rd allowed tie ins for the
new generator and switchboard. Mechanical crews installed new ductwork
and hot water pipes and third floor classrooms remove the old K pod air
handler and receive rooftop units for the netatorium. Looking ahead, work
includes continue painting, tiling, roofing, interior finishes and masonry
restoration. In early October, we will see the installation of the new
pull packs and rooftop units by the end of October. Both third floor K pod
and the netatorium will begin to look like it will when they are due
to open after Thanksgiving this fall. Thank you for following along as
North Penn renovation project stays on schedule bringing us closer to a
renewed and revitalized North Penn high school.
In the studio to give you today's lowdown. How are you doing Josh? I'm

I'm Josh Edelman, sending it back to the desk.
Thank you, Josh. Pom poms and jerseys flooded Crawford
Stadium as youth cheerleaders and footballers made their
appearance. The last football game doubled as North
Penn's annual community night. Aspiring athletes from
the local community were able to spend time with our own
football team and cheerleading squad. Our dedicated sports
stars took the time to talk, teach and practice with the
children, inspiring the next generation of athletes.
For this use club spotlight, Logan Golden is here to tell
you about Badminton Club.
North Penn's Badminton is back with a thwack and better than
ever. Whether you're a pro in the court or you've never
touched a racket, Badminton welcomes all students and
take a whack at the burden. One of the big things about
Badminton Club is that it is inclusive. It doesn't
matter who you are, what skill of you are, come on
down and have some fun. We do hold tournaments for
people who like that competitive aspect. But really
this is more of a place that's supposed to be social, a
soft landing spot after school to hang out with friends,
have good time and exercise. So one of my favorite things
about Badminton Club is that everyone's here, everyone's
involved, anyone can come down. Even if it's for 10, 15
minutes and you have to go somewhere else, we'd love to
have you and we're planning our fall tournament. So keep
staying tuned for dates.
I love Badminton because it gives me a chance to get
outside, touch grass and run around. And I think people
should join Badminton Club because you make like a
lot of new friends and I low key just made like three of
them. So if you want to take a swing at Badminton,
the next meeting is Wednesday, October 8th.
Reporting for North Penn Television, I'm Logan
Golden.
We have Nora in the studio with Shreya and Ishrak to talk
to you about homecoming. How are you doing Nora?
I'm doing great. Thanks Carly. Hello North Penn. I'm here
with Shreya and Ishrak and they are here to talk about
the homecoming dance tickets, voting and the long
awaited HoCo Court reveal. So let's get right into it.
When are tickets selling and where should I go if I
want to buy one? Okay so tickets are going to be
sold for $20 each and then they're going to be
sold from 7am to 8am during night's own in Mr.
Fluck's office which is the main lobby. And then the
week of homecoming, the Monday and Tuesday, we're
going to be selling during all school lunches.
Okay and what should somebody do if they want to
bring someone from another school? If you want to
bring someone from another school, there's
guest forms that are found in your home office.
You have to have them signed and approved so
you can turn them in when you're buying your
tickets. I heard something about Crown the
Proposal. What is that? So as she is hosting a
new competition this year called Crown the
Proposal, if you have a HoCo proposal that you
want to submit, you can send it into our
Instagram at npsga and they're all due by
October 9th and on October 10th we're going to
be announcing the winners who receive two free
tickets to the HoCo dance. Okay I think we've
