\nCorrespondent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Music education at Mt. View Jr. Sr. High School has hit another high note with a donation to purchase an additional electronic piano.<\/p>\n

District director Dr. Christine Plonski-Sezer presented a personal check for $1,800 to superintendent Francine Shea at the board\u2019s meeting on Monday evening, Nov. 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope the district will use this to purchase another piano for the piano lab,\u201d Plonski-Sezer requested, \u201cand dedicate the piano in memory of Hendrick Marr.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marr, a former music teacher who served the district from 1957 to 1993, died in October. He had also been the organist and choir director at the First Congregational Church in Harford for many years.<\/p>\n

Starting at the beginning of this school year, the high school music program was expanded with the purchase of two electronic pianos, coupled with the loan of three other pianos by an area music company at no extra charge to the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn addition, the pianos have a split keyboard,\u201d explained Shea, \u201cso that two students can play on one piano at the same time.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a board meeting earlier this month, Plonski-Sezer spoke of the positive influence Marr had as her music teacher at Mt. View, and expressed her hope that the district would memorialize him in some way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should always keep the music going,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Director Sondra Stine questioned why school building doors were being propped open.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole purpose of our new security system is to keep our students safe,\u201d she said, directing her comments to district maintenance director Robert Taylor.<\/p>\n

Taylor informed the board that installation of the security system is complete in the elementary school, and is nearly complete at the high school.<\/p>\n

It was indicated that the door to the district office entrance had been seen propped open.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s probably when there\u2019s food being delivered to the cafeteria,\u201d Taylor said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, somebody better be there when the doors need to be propped open like that,\u201d Stine strongly suggested.<\/p>\n

Taylor was asked, if the security system is complete, why an alarm does not sound indicating that the door is open.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat part of the system hasn\u2019t been turned on,\u201d Taylor replied. \u201cThere was a problem at one point with it, and it was turned off for repairs. I guess it wasn\u2019t turned back on. It\u2019s my fault that was overlooked, and I will see that it gets done.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other business:
\nThe district thanked the following companies for donations toward fan buses to the soccer playoffs in Hershey on November 15: Barhite Excavating, Bingham\u2019s Restaurant, Burning Bush Petroleum, Cameron Welding, Clifford Auto Center, Clifford Supply, Endless Mountains Pharmacy, Lenox Dairy Bar, Lenox Propane, Pocono Transportation, and Wilder Diamond Blades.<\/p>\n

Chaz Ross, Clifford Twp., was appointed junior high wrestling coach, and Shaun Pellew was approved as a volunteer for the boys junior high basketball team. November 18 was approved as the official start date for Gail Wnorowski, Director of Special Services, and start date of November 19 was approved for Danielle Webster, elementary cafeteria monitor.<\/p>\n

Outgoing board directors Elwood Williams and Dava Rhinehart-Cowan (absent from the meeting) were acknowledged for their service to the district.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis country has been good to me,\u201d Williams, the board\u2019s current president, stated, \u201cand it has been my pleasure to give something back by serving on this board.\u201d<\/p>\n

The varsity boys and girls soccer teams were honored with Pride in Mountain View certificates for their accomplishments during the past season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
