The schools were very cautious. When I went to get my kids at both JAE and FJC, doors were locked and you had to show ID to get in. They were being very cautious--which I appreciated. There was also a lot of additional supervisory people in the parking lots for the kids going to the buses.

Heard that Handy Pantry on Main St in Rocky Point was also robbed today. Wondering if there is any truth to that.
