I had an occasion to drive past the boat launch area near Montgomery Park this past weekend. It was beautiful to see the newly planted trees starting to take life. I continue to be so pleased for the borough and commend their tireless efforts to revitalize and beautify our community.

Montgomery Virtuoso performed for record-breaking crowds in last weekend’s spring musical. On behalf of all of the students involved, we would like to thank the school, community, and surrounding community for their support of our music and theatre program.

On the sport’s front, two of our senior track members have broken school records in the pole vault. Kiana Gough and Dominic Galanti finished their regular season by setting records and are gearing up for post-season competition.

The Montgomery Elementary school held its Spring Fling on May 3. It was great to see so many families turn out to support the school and the students involved in the carnival.
