On Monday, the Delaware Greenways “cut the ribbon” on the Commons Blvd Trail, a spur off the Markell Trail. This pathway was phase one of the project, which will provide a connection from the existing Jack A. Markell Trail at the I-295 tunnel to the Churchmans Road Pathway.
Extra Credit for The Delaware Schools
Last month, three Delaware schools and 350 other schools earned A+’s from the Department of Education, receiving recognition as National Blue Ribbon Schools. Congratulations go to:
- Olive B. Loss Elementary School in Bear, Appoquinimink School District
- Thurgood Marshall Elementary School in Newark, Christina School District

And, while we are talking about national recognition.
