• Haverford College's last quarterback donates 55-year-old memorabilia (6abc.com) — A former Haverford College quarterback has returned to campus to donate his jersey, game ball, and a Maxwell Award plaque from the school's final football season in 1971. His visit, alongside a longtime teammate, highlights Haverford's athletic history and the college's strong current sports culture, where about 40% of students play varsity sports.
   

• Chester County Intermediate Unit 24 drops transgender policy (broadandliberty.com) — A Chester County cyber program has dropped its transgender student policy after legal pressure, and advocacy groups say Haverford School District is among many Pennsylvania districts with similar rules on pronouns and parental notification. For Haverford families, the story signals that local gender-identity policies could face challenges under recent Supreme Court actions, federal enforcement priorities, and organized parent groups focused on disclosure to parents.
