Good morning, Racine.

A garage fire late Monday night on Racine’s 1200 block of Main Street damaged three vehicles and one motorcycle, knocked out power to nearby homes, and caused over $150k in damage, while firefighters responded swiftly (no injuries were reported and investigators have not determined if the fire was suspicious).

Racine Unified School District hosted an open house on August 26 at the new Olympia Brown Middle School addition at 2115 5 1/2 Mile Rd in Caledonia, which now serves grades six to eight and will include seventh grade next school year.

The school district is also completing $366,000 in repair work from a suspected drunk driver crash into two classrooms—ensuring classes begin on schedule.

Students and families toured a renovated section of Olympia Brown K-8 School on Tuesday during an open house—visiting new classrooms—and saw plans for updated learning spaces.
