Project Learn Lawns Signs Get New Design

By Dylan Allender

Dylan Allender and Elie Lubin show the Project Learn lawn sign.

Colorful and bright Project Learn School (PLS) lawn signs are on the lawns all over the Philadelphia area. Project Learn has been using this type of advertisement for many years. This year the signs are very different. The colors, blue, yellow, orange and white, were chosen to look like the new PLS brochure. They were made by Eric Moore, a PLS parent. He was chosen to design the signs because he is good with computer images. Eric said it was not hard to make the sign; he used a program called Adobe In-Design so it did not take long. He started on Sept 10th with the design and was finished on Sept 14th. Eric’s favorite part about making the signs was, “all the lovely colors.”  He worked with Aisha Anderson-Oberman, the admissions director of the school, and PLS parents, Janet Gala and Donna Waxler.

The lawn signs are used to let people know when PLS is having an open house. The signs have the school’s phone number on it  so people can contact Aisha.  This helps Aisha plan for the open houses.

    You may not see many signs in Mt.Airy because most of them were stolen from people’s lawns. The school does not know who took the signs, but Donna Allender who put them out, is sure it was not a Henry School student. “I placed a sign on Sedgwick Street on the lawn of a friend at 12:30 and went to the Co-op around the corner. I stopped for coffee and at 2:00, I drove past the house. The sign was gone. School was still in session so it had to be an adult who took the sign,” said Donna. People used to think that missing signs were taken by children, but now it’s clear that it’s not always them. All the signs in West Mt.Airy were stolen, but none in East Mt.Airy and Chestnut Hill were taken.The school hopes whoever is taking the signs will stop.

Look for PLS’ beautiful signs whenever you are in East Mt.Airy and Chestnut Hill.
