That question was one of 100 that second-graders got to answer in an academic contest last week at St. Joseph's School in Mechanicsburg. As a reward, they have been invited to an in-school pizza party in April hosted by the teachers, Mrs. Bruzga says.
Contestants line up sponsors who can pledge a certain amount per question answered correctly.
Most just donate a flat amount, Mrs. Bruzga says. But first the state has to agree a new school is necessary and decide whether South Middleton can afford to pay for it. The district has started the 11-step process called PlanCon to get necessary approvals. To date, South Middleton has submitted Parts A, B, and C dealing with project justification, sketches of a proposed building and land acquisition. Each is on file in the district office for public review.
