Daniel Boone Area High School seniors have access to more than 50 scholarship opportunities for the Class of 2026, offering a wide range of financial support options for students planning their next steps after graduation.

The school’s Guidance Office has compiled the available scholarships in Naviance, where students can review eligibility requirements, deadlines and application details. The opportunities reflect a variety of interests, career goals and post-secondary plans.

Students who need assistance with the application process are encouraged to connect with their school counselor for guidance on completing forms, meeting deadlines and navigating next steps. School officials emphasize the importance of taking advantage of these scholarship opportunities to help offset future educational expenses.

Families are invited to enjoy an afternoon of laughter and amazement at the All Ages Magic Show featuring John Cassidy on Saturday, February 28, at 50 Sunnybrook Road in Pottstown.

Doors open at 2:30 p.m., with the show beginning at 3 p.m. Tickets are priced at $12 for children and $20 for adults. Organizers note that all ticket purchases are final and non-refundable.

Cassidy is a professional comedian, magician and balloon artist known for his high-energy performances and interactive style. He holds multiple Guinness World Records for balloon sculpting, including creating 747 balloon sculptures in one hour and crafting 13 balloon sculptures in a single minute.

Guests can enjoy drinks before, during and after the performance. Following the show, food will be available at Gatsby’s Pub inside the venue, including an $8 kids menu offering options such as chicken fingers or grilled cheese with fries and a drink, or kids pasta with a drink.

The event promises family-friendly entertainment packed with comedy, magic and impressive balloon artistry.

Entrepreneurs, students and community members are invited to attend a special luncheon conversation featuring Justin Rosenberg, Penn State alumnus and founder of honeygrow, on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, at Penn State Berks.

The free event will take place from 12:15 to 1:15 p.m. in the Perkins Student Center’s Lion’s Den (Room 101). Space is limited, and advance registration is encouraged.

During a candid 20-minute presentation, Rosenberg will share insights from his journey building honeygrow, a Philadelphia-based fast-casual restaurant brand founded in 2012. His talk will focus on the realities of entrepreneurship, including early missteps, strategic pivots and the critical thinking required when original ideas need to evolve. His experience underscores how resilience, iteration and learning from failure contribute to long-term success.

The session is designed to provide practical guidance for startups and students navigating uncertainty and refining business concepts.

Following the presentation, attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in informal networking. Guests can also enjoy a complimentary lunch featuring honeygrow favorites.

Since its founding, honeygrow has expanded to 71 locations across the East Coast. The brand is known for customizable stir-fries, salads and honeybar desserts made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients, offering a variety of health-conscious options including vegan and gluten-free choices.

The event is sponsored by the Berks LaunchBox and the Penn State Berks Flemming Creativity, Entrepreneurship and Economic Development (CEED) Center. Penn State Berks students, faculty, staff and members of the community are welcome to attend.

The Reading Royals will host a special “Pink in the Rink” and Women in Sports Night on Saturday, February 28, with puck drop set for 7 p.m. at Santander Arena.

The evening will celebrate the impact of women in athletics while also recognizing the ongoing fight against cancer. Community partners for the event include the SWAMP McGlinn Cancer Institute, Advancing Health: Transforming Lives, and Reading Hospital–Phoenixville Hospital.

Fans can take advantage of a Family 4-Pack starting at $19 per ticket, making it an affordable night out for families. The first 1,000 fans in attendance will receive a snuggie giveaway.

Before the game, attendees can take part in a Women in Sports panel discussion inside Santander Arena, highlighting leadership, opportunity and the evolving role of women across the sports industry.
