Happy Friday!

April ☔️ bring May 🌷. The rainy season has arrived and I, for one, love it. The weekend brings multiple rain chances, so be sure to check the forecast before venturing outdoors.

Ann Arbor Public Schools announced this week that it will be delaying the return to school buildings for students in grades 4-12 due to the current COVID surge. Concern over post-spring break impact and increased spread among younger individuals impacted the decision, said Superintendent Swift.

See the new plan to return to hybrid learning.

Parents are still deeply divided over the issue, with some pushing for students to return and others praising the district for its latest action.

Have a great weekend.
