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 July 3 includes how our local school district is assessing reopening of schools in the fall; will vote-by-mail be accommodated this year? How to keep your mask-wearing ears a little happier; a very special quilt; news from the Legislative Council; and how one writer in town finds happiness in the coronavirus atmosphere. You’ll find our regular offerings and lots of great around town photos that you don’t want to miss. (And have a Happy Fourth of July!)

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/).
