A former Eastern Pulaski School Board member will be memorialized on the schools’ campus. Carol Short asked board members Monday for permission to install a bench in memory of her father, Richard Werner, who passed away just over a year ago.
He represented Harrison Township on the school board from 1968 to 1978. Short said she’d like the bench to face the elementary school building, since he helped get it established during his time on the board. The school board unanimously approved her request, and the board’s current Harrison Township representative, Joe Cunningham, expressed his appreciation for Werner’s service to the school. Short added that he enjoyed every minute of it.
Board members also accepted a $250 donation from Gibraltar Design, an architectural and engineering firm that has worked on multiple projects at Eastern Pulaski. The company has been giving the school corporation regular donations for the past few years.
