Dear Sir,
On behalf of the Mary Snow Parentrreacher Organization, I am requesting approval to
install a school sign at the comer of Essex and Milford Extension Streets. 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.
