By now, all of the tri town schools are back in session. I wish you all a great school year and remind you to be aware of bus stops and our students who walk to school. Montgomery may have noticed a change in bussing routes as well as some extra traffic this week. Montgomery has adopted a new bussing and school schedule in which the entire district is running their school day at the same times. Our administration has been working diligently to ensure the safety of the students and logistics of the busses.

This is our last August issue for 2013. I am eager to hear about the various fall festivals and events planned around our area. Please contact me with your events. I will be highlighting these events beginning in September.

Revitalize Montgomery continues to work to beautify our community. They are to be commended on their efforts. The committee encourages community members to attend their meetings as well as take part in their various projects.

The Montgomery Area Historical Society is working with the Montgomery Area Public Library to feature historical and/or community window displays. Current photos highlight summer events held in the borough and surrounding area.

The Montgomery Borough Council holds its meetings at Borough Hall on the second Tuesday of every month. Start time is 6:30PM. The public is encouraged to attend.

Also, take a moment to visit the Montgomery Borough website (www.montgomeryborough.org). On the site you will find interesting information about the history of our town as well as news concerning the Watershed project and Revitalization project.
