1. Wilton BOE Recruits for School Building Committee (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton's Board of Education is seeking local volunteers for a new School Building Committee that will help oversee major construction projects and state reimbursement for all four Wilton schools. A BOE subcommittee will coordinate closely with the town-appointed group as it reviews architects for Cider Mill work and prepares for projects planned through summer 2027.
   

2. Moody's Reviewed Wilton's Aaa Ratings; Boards Not Told (goodmorningwilton.com) — Wilton's top-tier Moody's Aaa bond rating has been reaffirmed, but the town could face another review if its long-delayed FY2025 audit isn't finished soon. The article details how draft financials were posted to a bond disclosure site before Wilton's finance and selectmen boards were fully briefed, raising transparency questions ahead of a special Board of Finance meeting.
   

3. Jay Manuel, 'America's Next Top Model' Star, Relists His Wilton Home (cottagesgardens.com) — A striking contemporary estate at 300 Sturges Ridge Road in Wilton is back on the market for $4.695 million, owned by TV personality and creative director Jay Manuel. With nearly 7,900 square feet, a saltwater pool, luxe indoor amenities, and resort-style outdoor spaces, the home stands out from traditional Colonials while remaining within commuting reach of New York City.
   

4. CT high school football top performers from the past week (thehour.com) — Wilton running back Dennis Dustin exploded for 201 rushing yards and five touchdowns in Wilton High's 41-6 win over Westhill, earning a spot among Connecticut's top football performers of the week. The statewide roundup showcases standout efforts from players across many schools, but Wilton fans will especially appreciate how dominant their offense looked in this early-season matchup.
