Three individuals who have positively impacted thousands of Pennridge students during their combined four decades of service to the District have been named winners of the 2019 “Friend of Education Award by the Pennridge Community Education Foundation.
High school technology education teacher Allen Androkites, Penn Central Middle School librarian MaryLou Ashworth, and bus driver/children’s book author Maria Hough will be honored at PCEF’s ninth annual A Lovely Evening on Tuesday, April 30 at The Sellersville Theater.
In addition to the award presentations, the event will also feature performances by the PHS String Ensemble, the jazz band, the chamber choir, the Fematas a capella group, and selections from the STARS presentation of “Cinderella.”
