I'm proud to share that a big financial boost is headed for Windham Hospital, which is great news for strengthening health care closer to home. See below for more details.

Happy 2026-2027 school year to all of our students. I am rooting for your success and fully support your educational journeys. Good luck! This is a good time to remind drivers about school bus safety and the penalties for failing to stop at the right time.

I hope to see you on Sunday for our second annual Norwich Public Schools Back-to-School Bash at Kelly Middle School! All NPS students are invited to attend this free event, where we'll hand out backpacks, school supplies, and more, including haircuts. Many thanks to TMJ Marketing Solutions, Black Dragon Martial Arts Academy, Senator Cathy Osten, and Rep. Larry Pemberton for helping sponsor this event.

The countdown to the Norwich Public Schools Back-to-School Bash has officially begun!

The Norwich Public Schools Back to School Bash is getting closer! We'll be ready to go at Kelly Middle School from noon to 4 p.m. on Sunday, August 23rd. We hope to see you at this free event for all NPS students.

Finally, some relief from last week's grueling temperatures. Plenty of rain is coming behind it, and that's good. It is much needed.

There is a Juneteenth flag-raising event in the Dave Ruggles Freedom Courtyard tomorrow at 5 p.m. I hope you get a chance to check it out.

I hope your summer is going well. This newsletter includes a solid mix of events and updates from the Capitol that I think you will find noteworthy, from Pride Month and Juneteenth to bills that passed - or didn't - this session.
