WILTON When Anastasia Rogozinski was about to enter Wilton High School in 2017, she researched club offerings to see what might be of interest.
She happened upon a “Read to Me” club, which connected high shoolers with their elementary counterparts in a way that was dear to her heart reading.
When she got to Wilton High, however, she realized the club wasn’t active, so Rogozinski decide to ramp it up again. Now the senior says the club is still going strong and growing.

WILTON Despite overwhelming objection from staff members, the Board of Education is unanimously supporting a fulltime in-person return for students at Middlebrook School, contingent on COVID-19 case numbers.
On Thursday, Jan. 7, Superintendent of Schools Kevin Smith explained his rationale for proposing the return beginning Monday, Jan. 25, for grade six, Thursday, Jan. 28, for grade seven, and Friday, Jan. 29, for grade eight.
As in other schools, Wednesdays would remain a remotely taught half-day.
“It’s predicated on a stabilization or a decline in the average daily case count of COVID-19, at least here in Wilton,” he said, describing that while the numbers dipped down last week, it’s expected they will rise through mid-January.
