Davis Playground Under Construction

Crews have been working this week to build the playground at the new Davis Elementary School.

Workers from Snider & Associates, Inc. were busy Thursday morning, installing space-themed playground equipment at the top of the hill at Davis Elementary School. The equipment, manufactured by BCI Burke Company, will offer various play features when complete, including three slides, with two that were described as "really high," and a row of swings. Following the installation of the play features, the crew will also install a carpet to preventing moisture build up and then line the lot with mulch.

It is right next to all the kids playing. Someone is going to get sick and …   more ›

First Day of School Ends Slowly at Davis

Parents remained positive during Tuesday's dismissal at Davis Elementary School, even though most waited more than 30 minutes to pick up their child.

The district's transportation plan for the new Davis Elementary School seemed to work well, if albeit a little slow, at dismissal time Tuesday afternoon, with only a small amount of traffic backing up on to Maple Avenue.  Staff members donned in navy blue Davis Elementary School T-Shirts, helped facilitate the process by taking the names of parents in line and alerting staff in the building to ready the appropriate children. Two members of the Upper Southampton Police Department were also at the school, directing the traffic both in the street and on the lot. Cars drove in a serpentine through the parking lot until they reached the long drive parallel to the front of the building. There drivers were instructed to stack their cars in rows …

Have you seen all the water and poor drainage in the back of the building? It's a disgrace. Mosquitos flying and hanging around stagmant water that smells right next to the black top where all the kids must play. Balls go in the water kids and monitors try to get them. God forbid anyone has a cut or gets MERSA. Disgrace. The township and School board should be ashamed of themselves. These parents…   more ›
