“Being a part of NPTV, you have the opportunity to join a true broadcast setting, produce news programs, school board meetings, athletic events, and overall bring to the screen students who do great things. Students have great chances to learn the TV business and be involved in a great thing right here at their own high school. So we urge you to come out and get involved following our info meeting,” stated NPTV co-advisor Mary Faikish.

The meeting will cover information pertaining to the club and coverage opportunities for new members as well as where monthly event signup sheets will be proposed to those in attendance and published on the Google Classroom (pec3fr0).

You get to be at a lot and see a lot of of the action at the North Penn high school and district events. We are all over the place, and students get to find themselves all up in on the action at games, concerts, forums and front row seats to all of that while having a great time with a great crew running the show,” said NPTV co-advisor Bob Gillmer.
