Here's your local news at a glance for Thursday, the 10th of April.
Good morning, Gilbert.
🏘️ Community
Voices for CASA Children held an informal coffee chat on April 9 at 10 a.m. at Press Coffee, 355 E.
Germann Road to help local residents learn how to become CASA volunteers who support children in foster care—this session was part of CASA Volunteer Week with no commitment required.
🎓 Education
Students from Gilbert Public Schools and Queen Creek Unified School District secured top wins at the National Civics Bee on March 28 at the Combs Performing Arts Center in San Tan Valley.
Logan G. from Highland Junior High — part of GPS — won first place while Eastmark High students Annamay B. and Peyton J. placed second and third and will advance to the state finals on May 2 at ASU’s Thunderbird Global School of Management.
🏥 Health
As viral season ends, the Valley now faces high pollen counts in April—sprouting symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, and itchy ears that persist longer than a cold.
Health experts say children with these signs should be checked and treated with over-the-counter medicine and by reducing time outdoors on windy days.
