In the same way the Eagles' Super Bowl win brought us all together for one giant celebration, our community continues to show up for each other in amazing ways every day. Whether it’s on game day or in moments of need, there’s no shortage of people in our area stepping up to make sure no one stands alone—just ask Sarah House.

Sarah, a local Cheltenham teacher, was recently involved in a car accident in Springfield, and the outpouring of help from neighbors and bystanders was like something straight out of a highlight reel. Thanks to their swift and heroic actions, Sarah is safe and recovering.

It’s these unsung moments of kindness and community spirit that make up the special place we all call home. From cheering on the Eagles to jumping in to help someone in need, our community always rises to the occasion.

Thank you to everyone who embodies these values and continues to make this a place where we all have each other's backs. And GO BIRDS!

Thanks to the students and faculty at Glenside Elementary for inviting me join their pre-Eagles parade rally!
