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 May 7? Catch up on the news from the Boards of Education and Selectmen, as well as the Board of Finance work group; the early bird might get the worm, but last minute shoppers will find great Mother’s Day gift ideas from local businesses; Friends Of Newtown Seniors raises the roof; a new gardening column from Sydney Eddison; and numerous other news stories, press releases, and regular offerings.

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/).
