[0:30] Hello, and welcome to this edition of Mornings. I'm Carly Buera.
[0:38] And I'm Dublina Kandu. We have a lot to tell you, so let's get right into it.
[0:42] The North Penn Marching Nights competed in the first U.S. band's show of the season
[0:45] at Upper Dublin High School against local high schools. Our Marching Nights captured
[0:49] first place with a score of 82.6. They also received caption awards for Best Overall
[0:54] Effect, Best Music, Best Visual, Best Percussion, and Best Color Guard. This
[0:58] weekend, they compete at Central Bugs. Good luck Marching Nights.
[1:05] North Penn's cybersecurity class got a special opportunity this week with an
[1:10] exclusive tour of the North Penn School District Technology Suite. Students
[1:14] are currently working on their school security audit project, where they try to
[1:17] think like a criminal in order to find vulnerabilities in school
[1:20] architecture. Various NP security engineers and architects led the
[1:25] students through the server room, informing students of the various
[1:28] backups and fail states the district has in case of an attack. If any sophomores
[1:32] or juniors are interested in activities like this, be sure to put cybersecurity
[1:36] in your class schedule for next year.
[1:40] High school is still a buzz with restoration and renovation. Here's
[1:43] this month's construction update.
[1:47] As we move into fall phase one of the North Penn High School renovation
[1:51] project continues to make strong progress. Let's take a look at the
[1:54] September 2025 milestones. In the netatorium, ceiling and wall painting is
[1:59] nearly complete. Just one small section by the bleacher remains, which will be
[2:03] finished once scaffolding comes down next week. The locker room painting has
[2:06] begun and sound panels in the ceiling are fully installed. Crews also have
[2:11] started installing ceiling panels in the pole locker rooms. NK pod floor
[2:15] grinding is underway during the early morning hours to reduce noise
[2:18] concerns while roofing crews continue hot air welding, flashing, and
[2:22] installing metal coping along the parapet walls. Plumbing work continues in
[2:26] wall roughins for gas lines, new eyewash station valves on the third floor of
[2:30] K pod and rough ends for water fountains in the netatorium. Electrical teams
[2:35] installed new panels in the basement pool equipment room and first floor
[2:38] storage area while adding outlets and lighting in classrooms and
[2:41] corridors. A brief shutdown on September 23rd allowed tie ins for the
[2:45] new generator and switchboard. Mechanical crews installed new ductwork
[2:50] and hot water pipes and third floor classrooms remove the old K pod air
[2:54] handler and receive rooftop units for the netatorium. Looking ahead, work
[2:59] includes continue painting, tiling, roofing, interior finishes and masonry
[3:03] restoration. In early October, we will see the installation of the new
[3:07] pull packs and rooftop units by the end of October. Both third floor K pod
[3:12] and the netatorium will begin to look like it will when they are due
[3:14] to open after Thanksgiving this fall. Thank you for following along as
[3:18] North Penn renovation project stays on schedule bringing us closer to a
[3:22] renewed and revitalized North Penn high school.

[4:51] I'm Josh Edelman, sending it back to the desk.
[4:56] Thank you, Josh. Pom poms and jerseys flooded Crawford
[4:59] Stadium as youth cheerleaders and footballers made their
[5:02] appearance. The last football game doubled as North
[5:05] Penn's annual community night. Aspiring athletes from
[5:08] the local community were able to spend time with our own
[5:10] football team and cheerleading squad. Our dedicated sports
[5:13] stars took the time to talk, teach and practice with the
[5:17] children, inspiring the next generation of athletes.
[5:28] For this use club spotlight, Logan Golden is here to tell
[5:30] you about Badminton Club.
[5:32] North Penn's Badminton is back with a thwack and better than
[5:42] ever. Whether you're a pro in the court or you've never
[5:45] touched a racket, Badminton welcomes all students and
[5:47] take a whack at the burden. One of the big things about
[5:52] Badminton Club is that it is inclusive. It doesn't
[5:54] matter who you are, what skill of you are, come on
[5:57] down and have some fun. We do hold tournaments for
[6:00] people who like that competitive aspect. But really
[6:03] this is more of a place that's supposed to be social, a
[6:06] soft landing spot after school to hang out with friends,
[6:09] have good time and exercise. So one of my favorite things
[6:13] about Badminton Club is that everyone's here, everyone's
[6:16] involved, anyone can come down. Even if it's for 10, 15
[6:19] minutes and you have to go somewhere else, we'd love to
[6:22] have you and we're planning our fall tournament. So keep
[6:26] staying tuned for dates.
[6:33] I love Badminton because it gives me a chance to get
[6:35] outside, touch grass and run around. And I think people
[6:39] should join Badminton Club because you make like a
[6:41] lot of new friends and I low key just made like three of
[6:43] them. So if you want to take a swing at Badminton,
[6:48] the next meeting is Wednesday, October 8th.
[6:51] Reporting for North Penn Television, I'm Logan
[6:53] Golden.
[6:56] We have Nora in the studio with Shreya and Ishrak to talk
[6:59] to you about homecoming. How are you doing Nora?
[7:02] I'm doing great. Thanks Carly. Hello North Penn. I'm here
[7:06] with Shreya and Ishrak and they are here to talk about
[7:08] the homecoming dance tickets, voting and the long

[7:17] want to buy one? Okay so tickets are going to be
[7:19] sold for $20 each and then they're going to be
[7:22] sold from 7am to 8am during night's own in Mr.

[7:39] guest forms that are found in your home office.
[7:41] You have to have them signed and approved so
