The Catasauqua Area School District will be closed Jan. 16 in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
There is much wisdom to be gleaned from the words of Mr. King.
If you have time, spend a few minutes researching his thoughts and views on society and the world.

CMS is currently selling “Team Butter” T-shirts in support of sixth-grade CMS student Julian “Butter” Saleh. (See related article on page A1.)
Julian was recently diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Anyone interested in purchasing a shirt should complete an order form and return it to the school, with payment, between 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. during the school week. Delivery of the shirts will be to the school, where they must be picked up upon arrival.
All proceeds will go to the family to help offset costs that may accumulate during Julian’s treatments.
For more information, contact the middle school at 610-264-4341.
