Morenci Area Schools would like to dispel the rumors that the school yard was hit with vandalism over spring break. The alleged vandalism was done by Somerset Crane Service last Monday. Somerset was hired by Adrian Mechanical to set the rooftop units on the high school roof. After the lifts were completed, the crane and trucks had to be pulled out of the yard, thus tearing ruts into the yard. Adrian Mechanical has contracted with T & R Total Lawn Care, LLC to repair the yard and T & R will begin the repair once the weather cooperates.
