Last Wednesday, we took a field trip to the Rhodes on Pawtuxet to go to the Senior Prom! A gala event hosted by Navigant Credit Union. The event was a formal event which had a live band, great food, and even better company. We had a great time dancing the afternoon away!💃🕺🪩

Thank you to the East Providence School Department for their assistance with ensuring we continue to provide the highest level of service during this closure.

Extreme heat is expected in the coming days, please take precautions to stay safe and check out available hours for the city’s cooling centers.

High temperatures can be dangerous, especially for older adults, young children, and those with underlying health conditions.

Here are a few important heat safety tips:
☀️ Stay indoors during peak heat hours when possible (10AM-4PM)
💧 Drink plenty of water, even if you don’t feel thirsty
👕 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing
🚗 Never leave children or pets in a parked car — not even for a minute
🐾 Make sure pets have access to shade and fresh water — do not leave pets in your car
🤝 Check in on neighbors, family members, and vulnerable loved ones

Know the signs of heat-related illness, including dizziness, nausea, confusion, or rapid heartbeat. If symptoms become severe, seek medical attention immediately.

Please stay cool, stay hydrated, and stay safe.
