Jenny Meriney became frustrated last winter when foul weather forced her to sit through a television scroll of school delays and cancellations, or shuffle downstairs to turn on the computer for her district's snow day status.
"It was really hard to wake up in the morning during winter and find where it was listed and if we had a delay. We were already up, and you can't really go back to bed again," said Jenny, an eighth-grader at Mellon Middle School.
So, she decided to combine her love of texting and her gift for problem-solving to create PITText Alert, a service that will provide text message notifications of school delays or cancellations for a $5 fee per cell phone.
