CARMEL, Ind.
– Teachers in the Wabash Valley received a surprise donation last week from a local Verizon retailer.
According to Round Room LLC, a Verizon Authorized Retailer, all 526 of its TCC stores donated appreciation boxes to more than 500 schools across the U.S.
Local schools receiving supplies included Woodrow Wilson Middle School in Terre Haute; South Knox Elementary in Vincennes; and Veale Elementary in Washington.
The company’s eighth annual Teachers Rock Supply Giveaway took place during the week of Feb. 15 to show support for teachers who are juggling many education hurdles caused by the coronavirus pandemic. Since 2014, TCC has donated more than 40,000 supply packs to deserving teachers across the country.

MIDDLETOWN Schools will send students in pre-kindergarten through fifth-grade back to school buildings nearly full-time beginning March 15 four days per week, while keeping those in grades 6-12 continuing under a hybrid model, despite appeals from parents who say experts’ data supports full reentry.
Students will continue to learn remotely on Wednesdays.
The proposal, debated over the course of a five-hour virtual meeting, was approved by the Board of Education earlier this week by an 8-1 vote, with member and attorney Christopher Sugar as the sole dissenter.

Jackson was the seventh president of the United States, holding office from 1829 to 1837. Prior to his election, he was major general in the War of 1812 and became a national hero after leading U.S. troops in the defeat of the British in the Battle of New Orleans.
Jackson has no significant connection to Philadelphia, and more troubling is his history of mistreating Indigenous people and his ownership and harsh treatment of enslaved Black people.
