1. It's been a long, cold winter, and today is one little fur ball's chance to change that. That's right ladies and gentlemen, today is the day we've all been waiting for since this winter's first blizzard: Groundhog Day. According to tradition, if it is cloudy when a groundhog comes out of its burrow, it will leave the burrow, and winter will be over soon. If it is sunny, however, the groundhog will see its shadow and retreat back into the ground, leaving us with six more weeks of winter. Let's hope Levittown is cloudy today!

2. Stokes and Sparke Elementary Schools, in the Island Trees School District, are holding their joint PTA meeting tonight at 7 p.m. at 101 Owl Place.

3. Who doesn't want to have a little magic up their sleeves? The Levittown Public Library will host a magic workshop for children in third through sixth grade this afternoon at 4 p.m. as an after-school treat.
