It’s official: Princeton Regional Schools is no more. Don’t get too panicked - only the name was traded in.

The Board of Education, at their meeting on February 7,  traded in PRS for the much more stylish PPS, which stands for Princeton Public Schools.

As most high school graduates head back to the classroom this fall to begin their first semester of college, others will head to exotic destinations like Peru, India or Tanzania, doing service-work, a language immersion program or whatever their hearts desire. These students have decided to stay out of the classroom for a year and take a "gap year", a practice that is becoming increasingly common in the U.S..

Perhaps we are fated not to see the ground until the spring thaw.  Or so it seemed this morning, when we woke to a snowfall that came earlier than predicted.  This radar snapshot at 2:30pm shows one storm leaving and another one coming.

Princeton declared a snow emergency at 10am this morning.  More coming this evening.  Keep track of the forecast on the National Weather Service site.
