— The Westmont Hilltop school board on Monday approved Nov. 16 as the date for the annual Thanks and Thanksgiving Luncheon at the high school.

Students, faculty, staff and administrators hold the event to thank the community for its support. Students will perform choral and instrumental works.

A Thanksgiving-style meal then will be served to senior citizens in attendance.

The board learned from its athletic director that Derek Goss, a former Westmont football player who has just returned from his second tour of duty with the Marines in the Middle East, will perform the honorary coin toss at Westmont’s home game against Penn Cambria on Oct. 27.
