Week Ending May 13/22

Fox Sighted in the area:

A parent informed us on Friday afternoon that a fox was spotted on the south side of the apartment at 77 Davisville.

We called animal control to alert them, but parents are recommended to ensure their children know to not approach unfamiliar wildlife.

Thank you for your care and attention.
