Art and science teachers from Enge-Washington joined forces to bring cheer to students earlier this week. The teachers made signs, blared music and honked while visiting more than 40 addresses to their students, including the towns or Kosse, Thornton, Old Union and the lake areas. The children greeted the teachers in return from porches and yards, with some making signs to show back at the instructors. Contributed photo.

WiFi connectivity was recently introduced to Hawkins Park to the City of Groesbeck via the sponsorship of the local Farmers State Bank, located across the street from the park gazebo. City and bank officials gathered to celebrate the development, intended for those passing through or students in need of WiFi with a hankering to work outside. Connectivity covers the entire park and portions of the block, so that those interested need only to park and log on. The router is weatherproof.

A check totalling $9,000 was presented for the first five years of service for the WiFi.

Though Groesbeck ISD campuses are currently closed to students in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19, the Board of Trustees met as scheduled on Monday, March 16 to make several decisions for the district’s eventual return to normal operations.
