On Tuesday, Fayetteville Superintendent Dr. Jeff Harvey announced a change in dates for the Christmas break. As a result of an overwhelming number of their staff and students out sick over the last few weeks, their Christmas break will begin earlier than originally planned. The last day for students will be Friday, Dec. 16. Students will still return from the break on Monday, Jan. 9. Dr. Harvey expressed the hope that the extra few days away from school will help ensure everyone is well for family gatherings.
