The Daniel Boone Area School District is recognizing its school leaders during National Assistant Principals Week, celebrating the important role they play in daily school operations.

Assistant principals across the district are acknowledged for their work as leaders, mentors and problem-solvers, helping to support both students and staff while fostering positive school environments.

District officials highlighted their contributions to instructional support, student development and school culture, noting their impact on building confidence, encouraging creativity and inspiring a love of learning.

The district expressed its appreciation for the dedication and leadership assistant principals bring to the school community each day.

Fans of daytime television will have the chance to see two familiar faces live as Laura Wright and Chris L. McKenna take the stage in Pottstown for a special event presented by SoulJoel’s.

The pair, known for their roles on “General Hospital,” will share stories about their on-screen relationship, off-screen friendship and behind-the-scenes moments from the long-running soap opera. The event will also include a live Q&A, giving fans the opportunity to engage directly with the actors.

Attendees can choose between general admission tickets for $49 or a limited VIP experience for $99, which includes priority seating, as well as a post-show meet-and-greet with photo opportunities and autographs.

The venue will offer a full bar, with food available before the show at Gatsby’s Pub, located on-site.

Both performers bring extensive experience in television and film, with Wright earning a Daytime Emmy Award for her role as Carly Corinthos, and McKenna recognized for his work across multiple television series and films.

Pottstown Hospital has been cited by the Pennsylvania Department of Health after closing its intensive care unit (ICU) earlier than permitted under state regulations.

State law requires at least 60 days’ notice before discontinuing hospital services. However, while Tower Health had announced the ICU would close on January 6, 2026, the unit was shut down on December 24, 2025, approximately 13 days ahead of schedule.

Hospital officials stated the early closure was due to staffing shortages, noting there were not enough nurses available to safely operate the unit. Prior to closing, the ICU had already been reduced to a limited number of patients, who were transferred to other facilities days before the shutdown.

The violation was documented in a state inspection report released in March 2026, following ongoing community concern over recent service reductions. In addition to the ICU closure, Tower Health had previously announced the shutdown of other services, including the endoscopy center and a cancer treatment location.

Despite the changes, the hospital remains open, with officials stating that many services have been shifted to other Tower Health facilities as part of broader financial restructuring efforts.

The American Red Cross Southeastern Pennsylvania is encouraging residents to give back by donating blood during a special campaign running from March 30 through April 12.

In partnership with Life is Good, donors who participate during this period will receive a limited-edition T-shirt as a thank-you gift, while supplies last.

Organizers emphasize that blood donations play a critical role in saving lives and supporting patients in need, urging community members to schedule an appointment and take part in the effort.
