"It is my belief that every student who has a day off from school should understand the meaning of it," said Kent Center School Principal Rima Zelvis at the school's Veterans Day ceremony last Friday. |
The evolution of Kent Center School's foreign language program into the 21st century sparked debate at the Board of Education meeting last Thursday night. Parent Rob Giampietro championed the adoption of Spanish into a program that already includes French. |
The Board of Finance is urging all Kent residents to participate early and often in this year's budget-making process.

| WE WON AGAIN!
The Litchfield County Times, including LCT and Passport, are proud to announce that we have won the first place, General Excellence award in the prestigious 2008 Missouri Lifestyle Journalism Awards.
In announcing the General Excellence Class I award in the non-daily circulation category, the judges wrote: “This old-school publication covers the arts in its area in depth, with seriousness and panache. The Litchfield County Times recognizes that art, in all its forms, is as pervasive and important to its area as snow is to the Colorado high country or wine is to California. In the weekly sections, in the monthly magazine and sometimes on the front pages, the paper treats all the arts as newsworthy and essential to the community. The writing, photography and design work in tandem to produce a quality product that publications many times larger would be proud to claim.” | |
