Today's riddle: What do evil hens lay? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Greenwich Police Urge Precautions to Avoid Injuries on E-Bikes and E-Scooters (greenwichfreepress.com) — Greenwich Police are urging parents and young riders to take e-bike and e-scooter safety seriously after recent local injuries, while the Board of Selectmen delays action on a related ordinance. Officers stress helmets, obeying traffic rules, slower speeds, and extra caution at intersections and driveways. Families are encouraged to talk now with kids about safe, lawful riding in town.
2. Greenwich School Board Agrees on Timeline to Fill 2 Republican Vacancies (greenwichfreepress.com) — Greenwich's Board of Education has set an aggressive late-August schedule to fill two suddenly vacant Republican seats so new members can be sworn in before the September 3 meeting. Applicants must be Greenwich residents and U.S. citizens, and the board is balancing transparency, confidentiality, and quorum concerns as it prepares interviews and a final appointment vote by early September.
3. U.S. News reveals Connecticut's 10 best high schools for 2026-27 (greenwichtime.com) — Greenwich families can take pride that Greenwich High School is ranked No. 2 in Connecticut and 194th nationally in U.S. News' 2026–27 Best High Schools list. The rankings, based on test scores, graduation rates, and college readiness, also spotlight other top-performing schools across Fairfield County and the state.
4. Why is there no Greenwich entrance/exit for I-684? You can (sort of, kinda) blame the Dutch and the English for the routing of the highway itself, but not, it turns out, for the lack of an egress (christopherfountain.com) — If you've ever wondered why there's no I-684 on- or off-ramp in that far northwestern corner of Greenwich, this piece breaks it down. It traces how colonial border disputes shaped Connecticut's panhandle, then explains how 1960s engineers routed I-684 briefly through Greenwich without exits to protect reservoirs and minimize environmental impacts.
5. Sound Bath & Sunset Healing (greenwichsentinel.com) — Greenwich residents looking to unwind can head to The J House on August 27 for a candlelit Sound Bath and Sunset Healing in the hotel's heated outdoor pool. Led by biofield therapy practitioner Holly Conetta, the session focuses on balancing subtle energy fields to ease physical tension and mental stress, offering a restorative, spa-like experience close to home.
