BATH AREA Gab Over by Pete The Fence G. Ossip Hi gang, here we are another week later. Have you been enjoying the beautiful weather? It’s almost leave-the-windowsopen weather. Bittersweet, I’m not ready for shorter and colder days though. I guess we had a bad storm Monday night? I’m not really sure as I slept through it, but I read there was a tornado warning for Monroe County, not sure what we got ‘round these parts though...I saw that My Place Pizza in Bath is hiring. Anyone lookin’ for work? We send our condolences to the family of Harvey Haupt who passed away on August 12. Harvey was a lifelong resident of Bath...The Uptown Northampton Street Fair has been rescheduled to May 22, 2021. It sure is going to be strange not attending the fair in September this year...Last week the Nazareth Area School District announced they would drop in-
person classes and will be switching to a hybrid program instead, which would combine in-person classes and remote learning. A 100 percent cyber option is also available. That plan was voted upon by the board on August 18, after we went to print on this issue. It was stated that children would be required to wear a mask in school. Sports and band programs will continue based on previous guidelines put in place. Further details can be found on the school’s website, at https:// www.nazarethasd.k12.pa.us/... Northampton Area School District announced the approval of their Plan B hybrid plan. Middle school and high school students will be in the classroom two days a week and Elementary students will be in the classroom five days a week. Masks will be required for students on buses and in schools, and all NASD staff. Breaks from masks are planned every half hour for students K2nd grade and every hour for students 3rd-5th grade...Lamont McClure Jr. with Northampton
