Now this is why I joined Twitter — prom updates.
The Perkiomen Valley School District in Collegeville, Pa. and the Jenkintown School District, both of which are in Montgomery County, are using the microblogging service.
They are spreading school news and information to the masses, or, well, 62 and 21 Twitter accounts, respectively. To be fair, though, neither of them suffer the following of users like Sexplatorium.
“Now, parents will know where to go to get the information they need,” said one of the followers, Mary Ellen Polaski, mother of a 10th grader. “You don’t have the time to go all over the [district] Web site, finding out what’s going on. This is one-stop shopping.”
