Little Friends Update
This morning Little Friends gave an update on how they’re dealing with the affects of COVID-19. In an email they said they closed the Krejci Academy, the Bridge High School, the Mansion High School, and other programs last week as a result of the statewide stay-at-home order. Little Friends’ residential services are still up according to the press release as some students don’t have anywhere else to go. The tentative plan is to resume some programs on April 7, but the school is planning on that date to be pushed back as the coronavirus situation remains fluid.
