Shady Grove Middle said no to a cell tower
ReplyDeleteWe are one happy nation
ReplyDeleteBreeding interdependence
That promotes alienation
Striving to make a difference
And bring about salvation
From the mundane chores
By spreading information.
Neelsville MS has said NO also, but it doesn't look like they are following their policy!
ReplyDeleteDaly Elementary said NO to a cell tower, but MCPS erected one anyway. AND Daly ES is less than a mile away from Neelesville MS.....but when MCPS has schools with high FARMS rates, they know that parent participation is low as well which makes it easier for them to bully their way in and do whatever they want.
ReplyDeleteThe neighborhood surrounding Neelesville MS don't even go to Neelesville! They get bused over to MLK MS!
