Upgraded technology, along with a new stage curtain, are recent additions to St. John Neumann Regional School, Palmerton.

The augmentations were made possible thanks to a recent $25,000 donation courtesy of the Lafayette Council No. 2522, Knights of Columbus.

In turn, the money was used to purchase 17 Google Chromebooks, as well as a new state curtain that replaced the one that was original to the building.

During a school forum held Thursday, the students extended their appreciation to the members of the K of C, who were represented by Frank Hager, Paul Papay and Earl Ott.
