Thank you author Hana Khan and the students and families who attended the special event at WMS last evening. Ms.Khan also spent time at our elementary schools and had lunch with 5th graders at WMS during the day. She offered advice on reading and writing and reaffirmed the importance of telling stories that help us to see people like ourselves in literature.

There was a fuel spill on Main Street this morning that impacted power in the center of the city. WHS, WRVC, WMS, and Canal, and Central Office were without power for about 15 minutes but it has just been restored. If the situation changes, we will be in touch. Thank you,
