Superintendent highlights Minnithon, art and music honors and storm response

Superintendent Brown used the Feb. 10 board meeting to thank facilities crews for clearing heavy snow and to highlight recent student achievements across academics, arts and athletics.

Brown said crews worked to clear roads, parking lots and sidewalks after one of the largest storms in recent years and that the district implemented asynchronous online learning that day. He then announced the Minnithon team at Neshaminy High School raised $82,428.97 for pediatric cancer — roughly $12,000 more than last year’s record — and congratulated students on organizing creative fundraisers.

Other recognitions included senior Michael Eckert’s selection as a Big 33 all‑star quarterback for the May 24 game, 12 students advancing from the Pennsylvania Junior Academy of Science regional competition to the state meet at Penn State, 14 high school artists selected for the Pennsylvania State Education Association 'Touch the Future' exhibit, and an eighth‑grade composition by Kyle Graves to be showcased at the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association meeting in April. Brown also reminded the community of Gym Night this Friday, with the theme 'inventions with intentions.'

The superintendent turned the meeting over to Jan King and other Foundation members for a separate recognition of a memorial donation to the Neshaminy Education Foundation.
