Community Invited To Make Noise Tonight For North Penn Seniors

LANSDALE, PA — The community is invited to light porch lamps, honk horns, clang pots, and make noise for the North Penn class of 2020 Thursday evening.

It's part of North Penn's unique graduation programming to honor members of the graduating class in what has become a very nontraditional senior year.

The virtual commencement will be aired on NPTV's YouTube Channel and the NPSD Facebook page, as well as Comcast channel 28 and Verizon channel 29, beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday.

Watch along with students and members of the school community, and then, at around 9:15 p.m., at the time when students are invited to turn their tassels, the "Light the Knight" festivities will begin in the surrounding area.
