Good morning, Whitewater
It’s a quiet day in the city today, with no public meetings scheduled at month end.
It’s also chilly, with a frosty morning drifting into a mostly sunny day, with a high of 59 degrees, according to the National Weather Service. The Farmers’ Almanac predicts that we’ll have “clearing skies and pleasant temperatures.”
In our school district, there will be a 6:30 p.m. meeting of the PTA at Lakeview School.
Today is a school-related day in Wisconsin history. On this day in 1845, according to the Wisconsin Historical Society, Wisconsin adopted free education for its young residents. (It was called free education, but it could not have been free in the larger sense of that word.) The first free school opened about six weeks later.
