There's no day, like a snow day!

At 7:30am on Friday morning, the golf course, Memorial Park and Flood’s Hill were covered in fluffy white snow. By 3:30pm, the grass was showing. The children* of Maplewood grabbed their sleds, and sled they did. What a day! And exactly what we all needed. Now if we could avoid the freezing rain…

School’s back!

After last week’s virtual return to school, starting on Monday, January 10, schools will return to in-person learning. SOMSD has issued new isolation and quarantine guidance, which can be found here and also follow the New Jersey Department of Health’s recommendations.
