The district's musical production of The Addams Family is scheduled for Feb. 5–8 in the Theodore Clouse Auditorium.
A representative of the Neshaminy Education Foundation told the board the foundation will fund seven classroom grants totaling $16,848 for its annual classroom grant program and named winning staff members across district schools. The foundation said the next NEF meeting will be Monday, Feb. 2 at Maple Point and invited new board members and volunteers to attend.
