STEPHENSON — Students at Stephenson Area Public Schools get the day off today, Thursday, May 28th, because of flooding after a large hail storm.

Superintendent Steve Paliewicz said a couple inches of water were found in six rooms of the lower Elementary School after yesterday’s storm. Because of this, the decision was made to close the school district for the day.

Paliewicz said they hope to have everything cleaned up later today.
