Good Morning, Upper Merion! 👋
Happy July! This holiday week is buzzing with excitement. The 4th of July is the star of the show, and our massive celebration at Heuser Park is where the magic will happen (hello, awesome fireworks!). But the fun doesn't wait for Friday! This week is packed with bingo, free concerts, and community spirit. Speaking of spirit, a huge congrats to our 8U District baseball champs! What a week to be proud of our town.
Before diving into some of the awesome stuff, I NEED YOUR HELP! I’ve started working on making my first curated guide for the Upper Merion Area: Daycares and Preschools. In order to get into the guide (WHICH IS FREE) I need the owners and/or directors to fill out this google form. This helps me make sure I have the most accurate information to share with you. So, if you are that person, please take a minute to fill out the form. If you know that person…please share😊. I’d love to share it with all of you in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for considering!
OK, to the Spotlight…..

Not to be outdone by their older counterparts, the Upper Merion 8U District team saw the 9U team's championship from last week and decided to get one of their own! A massive congratulations to these little sluggers for winning the District title this past weekend. They're also heading to the state tournament!

THE BLUE ENVELOPE
📷UMPD website
While scrolling through Facebook between softball games this weekend, I came across the neat program offered by the UMPD, so I thought I would share. This Blue Envelope program is intended to promote interactions between law enforcement and drivers with special needs that are more positive, safer, and more empathetic. Check out the full details HERE.
