Tower to be built on Harmony school property
Tuesday, November 03, 2009
WESTOVER - Harmony Area School Board heard two announcements at last night's meeting from district Superintendent Dr. Gunter H. Moritz.
Sprint, which provides Internet service, is constructing a new tower on school property. There is currently one there but it isn't high enough and the new one will be 10 feet higher, will not sway, will be firmer and will have a fence around it, Dr. Moritz said.
A graduation project by a student will be the construction of a Snack Shack to be placed near the gymnasium. It will not be permanent and is movable. The architect has reviewed the plans and there are no restrictions. It will have a George Foreman grill, pizza toaster and a refrigerator.

l a district-wide Parent Involvement Policy for the 2009-10 school year for Title I.
