Rooftops watched closely for signs of trouble

The roofs of city schools are stable, and there are no trouble spots to be worried right now about under all that snow.

Still, with the number of significant storms we've had in a short period of time, the buildings are being monitored.

Kevin O'Maley, chief facilities manager for the Manchester Department of Public Works has crews out regularly to remove snow from rooftops around the city, including our schools.

"We are well ahead of this problem and we currently have no indication that there is any reason for concern," said O'Maley.  "We will continue to watch and take appropriate action."

We thank our city workers for keeping us all safe!

WANTED: Community professionals to participate in Career Day

On Wednesday, March 29, 2017, Manchester High School West is hosting a school-wide Career Day. The structure will be different from similar events that often follow a "career fair"-type format in which professionals representing various fields set up displays and wait to be approached by interested students. At West, every teacher will be matched with a guest speaker related to his or her subject area. For example, in the math department, one teacher may host an accountant while other math teachers host a stockbroker or a carpenter. Students will follow their regular schedules and be introduced to a different career field with each class change. Speakers are asked to give a hands-on or interactive presentation to the classes they meet. West is offering full-day and half-day sessions for interested professionals. Lunch will be provided in all sessions. Full day. 7:15 am - 3:00 pm Morning only, 7:l5 am - 11:30 am Afternoon only, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm Members of the com...
