🏫 Towamencin Rite Aid To Become A School
The former Rite Aid building at Valley Forge Road and Sumneytown Pike in Towamencin will become a school. Township officials approved a plan to convert the roughly 11,400-square-foot facility into a new Goddard School location, granting the project a parking variance. There will also be some minor tweaks with the driveways. Goddard is a national network of franchised early childhood education providers similar to Montessori schools.
🚨 Update On Montgomeryville Motel Deaths
James Short | North Penn Now
The investigation into two people found dead inside a locked motel room in Montgomery Township remains under investigation. Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele confirmed the people died of gunshot wounds at the Knights Inn on Bethlehem Pike and does not anticipate his office will proceed on it. But the county coroner will have to rule on whether it was a murder-suicide; that conclusion is still pending.

🐶 Rescue of the Week
James Short | North Penn Now
Meet Teddy, a 10-year-old Boston Terrier being fostered through Home At Last Dog Rescue.
Teddy is looking for a new home after his owner was unable to care for him; he was initially rescued from a Lancaster puppy mill. He is likes walks, but prefers to dictate where he goes. He is independent, crate- and house trained and while he likes other pets on his own terms, he would be best off as the only pet in his new home.
If you are interested in adopting Teddy or would like more information, you can reach out to Home At Last Dog Rescue at [email protected] or visit the group's website.
