I can’t believe it is already July; time is flying by way to fast. So, with that being said, here is wishing all of my followers A HAPPY 4th of JULY, enjoy and be safe.
Another great week with temps that were tolerable, some more rain fell, and just an overall great week in the weather department. However, if you like hot temps and high humidity, this upcoming week will be for you. That is what the forecast is looking like with a heat advisory issued for most of the week. So, if you are outside, drink plenty of water and find some shade.
There are a lot of changes going on at Palmyra Middle School, the concrete bleachers are being taken down. They have been a there in place for many many years, however due to the deterioration of the concrete they are unsafe and being taken out. I know this is a sad moment and there are so many memories there at the football field and bleachers, but I totally understand why they have to be taken out. Maybe if you contact the central office at PHS a person might be able to get themselves a concrete brick from the old bleachers.
