Officials at the middle school have taken measures to remove the group from Facebook and will use this incident to bring awareness about the dangers of the internet.

Sure, a bad egg got in, but there is no need to condemn the whole student body for one idiots mistake. From personal relations to the owners of the "black market", they just wanted to make some money. … more ›

All three schools at LMTSD recently had solar panels installed on the roof tops.
The solar panel project is complete at the Lower Moreland School District. All three schools - the High School, Murray Avenue and Pine Road - have installed solar photo-voltaic panels on each of its rooftops. The project was supposed to be completed by November, but because of a hard substance (which was later found to be glue) found on the high school roof, construction was pushed back. The solar panels that were installed generate a combined quantity of 575 kilowatts of electricity, which is about one-third of the High School’s electrical demand. The panels will eliminate 4,674 tons of CO2 emissions, or the equivalent of saving 1,402 acres of trees or not driving 12,800,000 vehicle miles. You can see live energy updates from the High …
