It was wonderful to help cut the ribbon on the new Curley School playground dedicated to the beloved former principal Katie Grassa. It was great to join the Superintendent of Schools Mary Skipper and the many community and schools leaders who all worked so hard to make the new playground a reality.

For evidence-based health information, talk with your health care provider.

Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee...
