This sign would replace the existing sign, which is rectangular 10" x 12", (approximately), on a metal post. The proposed sign would be six sided, 96 inches high and 12 inches across, with the wording Mary Snow School and Expect The But visible from north and southbound traffic on Essex Street. The access w the Mary Snow School is difficult to find for those not acquainted with the area. We feel that the proposed sign will be much more visible and inviting for students, parents and visitors. - Enclosed are the proposed plans, submitted to the PTO by Bangor Neon. Thank you for your consideration of this matter. ,�S�incceerreellyy, Stephen BSshop Principal Cc: Alan Kochis, Bangor Schools Kristi Solman, PTO Denise Brookings, PTO q4 0 0 RarxErq T ?ED SIDE
