Jason Arehart was recommended by the Lower Moreland School Board as the newest English and Social Studies teacher at Murray Avenue.
Joe Emrick was a staple in Lower Moreland. He served as an Economics and Social Studies for nearly 15 years in the district. But he chose to pursue his political career and was recently re-elected as the State Rep. for the 137th Legislative District. Because of his government responsibilities, he formally submitted his resignation to the school and there was a vacant position for the full-time teacher at Murray Avenue Middle School for the classes he taught. At its most recent meeting Tuesday night, the Lower Moreland School Board recommended Emrick’s replacement in Jason Arehart. “We are really excited to be able to recommend to you Jason for the English/Social Studies teaching position at Murray Avenue School,” Superintendent Dr. Marykay…

Lower Moreland School Board agreed to put 650 new lockers in Murray Avenue Middle School.
Earlier this month the Lower Moreland School Board approved the purchase of 650 new lockers to be installed in Murray Avenue Middle School. The Board met for its special meeting last week and approved a payment in the amount of $130,195 for the lockers from School Essentials, Inc.

"The age and condition of the lockers is extremely poor and many fail to operate properly." On average, the total comes to about $200 per new locker. The new lockers will be ready for the following school …

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.
Last week it was learned that two middle school students in the Lower Moreland School District created a Facebook group with the goal of selling their personal belongings to other kids in the district. According to the school, the items sold on Murray Avenue grounds "mainly included athletic gear and electronic equipment," but there were also numerous pictures of weapons that appeared on the page that were to be sold by minors. Superintendent Dr. Marykay Feeley, teachers and faculty are now working on a solution to create awareness and make students conscious of the dangers of social media. On Tuesday, May 22, Deborah McCoy will speak with Murray Avenue students in a presentation about online issues such as cyber bullying. She is …

Two students in middle school are at the helm of a Facebook group where kids from the school district are buying and selling anything from iPods to pocket knives. And in some cases, the transactions are happening at school.
Has your kid come home from school with a different iPhone case or pair of sneakers? What about a pellet gun or a switchblade? Well it probably came from Facebook. These items can be found regularly at Phre$h Stuff of Lower Moreland, the social media group created by two Murray Avenue Middle School students. It's an exclusive online marketplace filled with kids of all ages from the Lower Moreland School District that are taking part in auction style and buy-it-now transactions. And some of these transactions are being conducted at the middle school by one of the group's creators. Phre$h Stuff of Lower Moreland first started granting members access to the page on Tuesday. And within days there were hundreds of listings from its 117 members …

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 …
