Dear Patrons, Vermillion is reworking the water lines in town. The water has been an issue for our PreK building more than once so far. Today we were without water. We were able to remedy the situation and continue on. Admittedly it is a small distraction but not a show stopper. We have a temporary solution. The city is working feverishly to get things working again. Sometimes we need to be able to deal with adversity and this may be a great lesson for us. Joel Bickford
