Good Morning, Upper Merion!

Happy FriYay! The weekend is so close, you can almost taste it, just like all the Holiday food my students have been bringing…..each day….which I’ve been eating. 🤦‍♂️

• Montgomery County is opening applications for Advisory Board Positions—this is your chance to have a voice in shaping our community.

• Looking ahead, plan to Celebrate Chanukah at Light Up Conshy on Dec. 26—it’s a festive event you won’t want to miss!

• And sports fans, don’t forget: Varsity action heats up this Friday with wrestling and track. #GoVikes! I can’t forget college football playoffs begin tonight too. This Indiana native is hopeful IU keeps their magical season alive by beating the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame.

Ok, quite a line up today and tonight, so let’s get to it!

Ciao for now!
