Five Things to Know About East Penn This Week

Here are some highlights of what's happening in East Penn School District this week.

  1. Did they mind their Ps & Qs? Well, this is the week that elementary school parents will find out. It’s Parent-Teacher Conference Week. That means early dismissal for grades K-5 and an extra bit of insanity for elementary school parents.
  2. Where there’s conferences, there’s book fairs. At least at Alburtis and Lincoln elementary schools. So, if you are in the market for some easy reading for some elementary school kids in your life, these are the places to go shopping this week.
  3. Eyer Softball Battles on Home Turf. Eyer Middle School softball takes on Nitschmann Middle School at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
  4. Beantown or Bust. The Eyer Student Council heads to Boston Wednesday to Friday. Be sure to try the ‘chowda’ kids.
  5. Not sure what a THON is? Then your best bet is to start with the Lower Macungie Middle School miniTHON on Friday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m. From there you can move up to a full-size THON.
