Switch Gets Flipped on New Sign Outside RBR

We were very excited to see the exterior of going all high-tech in the fall when we drove by one day and saw the school's new electronic sign that had appeared at the corner of Harding and Ridge roads.

And so we waited, and waited, and waited some more during all our trips driving up and down Ridge Road to see the sign lit up.

So when the switch was finally flipped Feb. 22, and the sign began to shine information like a beacon to drivers passing by, we wondered what the hold up had been.

Turns out, the school had to wait three months for JCP&L to run electrical across the street for the sign to get power, according to a spokesperson for the school.

But now that it's plugged in, so to speak, the sign is a valuable tool to get the word out about all that's going on at RBR, and it can be programmed from within the comfort of the school building, she said.
