The 2016 celebration also featured musical entertainment by members of the Pennsbury Concert Jazz Band. The event was organized by Ann Langtry, Coordinator of Communications, and Robin Peters, Partnership Program Assistant.“In addition to benefiting students, partnering with Pennsbury offers many advantages for community agencies and businesses,” said Langtry. “Partnerships with Pennsbury offer image enhancement opportunities, provide greater visibility in the community, and offer the personal satisfaction that together, we are helping to shape the workforce of the future.”
The recipients of the outstanding partnership awards for the 2015-2016 school year included:
- Davis Acura, for its generous support of the Pennsbury Odyssey of the Mind Program;
