At The Newtown Bee, we are working on articles every week for our readers’ education and enjoyment, and subscribers get the first — and sometimes exclusive — look at stories in print.

What’s in the works for the edition of April 9 is a first look at Earth Day in Newtown; reports from the Board of Selectmen, the Board of Education, and the Board of Finance work group, as well as the Legislative Council; encounters with wildlife; and a former educator is taking a hike to raise awareness about a devastating illness. That’s just some of what you will find in the pages of The Newtown Bee this week.

There are plenty of stories and breaking news posted to newtownbee.com, but you’ll find full coverage in our print edition. For complete news about Newtown, join our subscribers in being in the know (https://classadz.vdata.com/Legacy/NewtownBee/Circulation/Subscriber/).
