Monday happenings in Carson City: time to head Back to School
I don’t often have something new to say about Monday, but it’s not every day that the new schoolyear begins. That’s right, Carson City, summer vacation is officially over. Please give yourself a little more time to get to work: the school zones are back in effect, school buses will be making their rounds, and kids of all ages will be on the sidewalks and in the crosswalks. Good luck to all of our students and teachers, may this year be the best yet.
