Meal Delivery is happening for not only WCS students, but ALL children, ages 0-18, in the WCSD.
Lunch with breakfast for the following day can be picked up between 11 am - 1 pm at:
The Waterville Jr/Sr High
Deansboro Fire Department
North Brookfield Fire Department
Oriskany Falls Fire Department


Between the sun being out and the ability for students to clear out their lockers and pick up supplies, people seemed to be out more- walking, biking, and driving, but distancing as well.
We took advantage of the spring-like weather to check for blooms and spring-like things around town.


That included the banners re-hung by the DPW














At the Home Shoppe: "We Will Get Through This"



Think Spring tomorrow! There's plenty of fresh air to breath out there, and an abundance of technology to keep us connected while socially distant.

The staff at WPL has always been partial to the great variety of conversations had throughout each day. We're still available at 315-841-4651 for all of your musings, good natured rants, worries, and general talk about the weather. Stay well.

As light passes through these hexagon-shaped ice crystals, it is bent at a 22 degree angle, creating a halo 22 degrees in radius (or 44 degrees in diameter). A double halo, sometimes with spokes, may be seen on rare occasions when light reflects off water or ice.      The prism effect of light passing through these six-sided ice crystals separates the light in...
