Chapel Hill Elementary School Breaks Ground

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

The tenth elementary school in the Chapel Hill-Carrboro school district broke ground on Monday.  The school, which is scheduled to open for the new school year in 2008, is off Eubanks Road.  Easily accessible to neighborhoods in Carrboro and north Chapel Hill.

The building plan is ambitious, but our excellent school district needs an additional elementary school.  So,get those bulldozers going!

As a Chapel Hill realtor, I know how important schools are to our community.  If you have a question about Chapel Hill real estate or our school district, contact Reg Morgan.

Great Day for Baseball!

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

This is a great weekend to have fun in Chapel Hill!  After I show some clients some great condos in Southern Village, I’ll be taking the boys to see Carolina take on Penn State at Boshamer Field.  Baseball game time is at 1pm, and today all kids get to take the field for the national anthem!

Tomorrow the baseball team plays again at 1pm, but the big story will be at the Smith Center.  Duke vs. Carolina!   This is always the biggest game of the year and the last of the regular season for the Heels.  The ACC tournament starts on Thursday down in Tampa - a big win over the Blue Devils will send them off in style.  And, if you go to the baseball game first you’ll be entered for a chance to win tickets to the basketball game!
