BURGLARS HIT SCHOOL.

Byline: Daily News

For the second consecutive year, burglars have broken into Harding Street Elementary School and stolen valuable office machinery, school officials said.

The burglars broke a school window early Monday, then made off with a fax machine, computer, laser printer, telephones and a telephone controlling unit, said school Principal Sarah Berry.

Harding PTA treasurer Mary Gallardo, who has two children at the school, said students are the ones who suffer most from the thefts.

``It just continues to happen, and we cannot afford to take these losses,'' Gallardo said.

To put a stop to the thefts, school officials hope to gather enough money from donations to have a security alarm system installed at the school, 13060 Harding St.
