Today, we pause to remember 9/11 -25 years later and all those whose lives were forever changed. We remember the first responders who ran toward danger, all the lives lost, and the amazing bravery and courage that they showed. Today let us honor the fallen by remembering each of them, and honor them by caring for one another and our community.

We remember. We honor. We carry them with us every day.

Wishing all the administrators, teachers, support staff, paras, janitorial staff, bus drivers and of course the kids a great first day of school! Stay safe and have a great year! For the community leave extra time the next few weeks as drivers learn their routes and parents figure out how to navigate the bus schedules/drop of schedules. It’s gonna be a great year!

Tips to stay cool in the heatwave. Make sure you are checking in with neighbors, friends and family. Remember your pets paws can burn on the hot concrete and they need to hydrate also! Cooling centers are available I Glastonbury at Welles-Turner Library, Riverfront Community Center, and Academy Building. If you are looking for outside Glastonbury call 2-1-1. Don’t wait until you are thirsty to drink. Hydrate!! Thanks for the graphic Climate Psychiatry Alliance.
