Here are the top three stories today in Jackson:

1. The Jackson Zoo will start selling $2 tickets in the new year. Every Tuesday, starting on Jan. 4 2022, the zoo will host "$2 Tuesdays." The tickets can be purchased for another over the age of 2, and they will be available for purchase on Jan. 3. (WJTV)
2. Hundreds of free uniform bottoms are available for Jackson Public Schools students. More than 900 pairs of pants, shorts and skirts were donated from the Junior League of Jackson. They will be distributed through the Partners in Education Program. (Free: Yahoo! Finance, Subscription: Clarion Ledger)
3. A non-profit agency in Jackson is bringing Christmas to seniors who are living alone. The Good Samaritan Center will be delivering presents to seniors in the Delhaven and Golden Key Apartments. About 200 donors were 'Secret Santa' and provided the presents that will go out this week. (WDAM)
