SUMMARY: Sarah Broadbent, a fifth-grade math teacher at Pedal Upper Elementary School, was named as one of six State finalists for the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Math and Science Teaching. The awards are considered the highest honors for STEM teachers in the nation. Broadbent’s nomination was due to her deep knowledge of math and her ability to connect with students through various learning styles. Although she doesn’t teach for recognition, the nomination serves as an honor for her 12-year teaching career. If chosen, she will receive a $10,000 prize from the National Science Foundation and be recognized at the White House, inspiring her colleagues and students at the school.

SUMMARY: Residents of Ward 2 in Jackson are frustrated with the deteriorating condition of a bridge on Aelia and Beaverbrook Drives. A large hole has formed in the middle, with the asphalt sinking across the road. Citizens blame poor construction underneath the bridge and ongoing flooding, which hides the damage. The issue has persisted for over a year. City Councilman Stokes emphasizes the need to prioritize safety, criticizing funds spent on non-essential projects. A retired resident is frustrated with ongoing repairs and the city’s lack of response. Councilwoman Tina Clay was unaware of the issue and encourages residents to report concerns.
