A Half-day at School, and a Wrestling Match

You Need To Know Half-time: Today is a half-day for all local schools, giving kids a head start on their winter recess. Watch out for kids playing afterwards.

You Need To Know It's Reverse College Day: It doesn't mean parents should look for big checks in the mailbox, but rather that they should look for their college-bound students at Watchung Hills Regional. The day gives high schoolers a chance to query the older students about colleges they are attending and thier experiences.

You Need To Know Wrestlers: Watchung Hills Regional's varsity wrestlers will be looking to pin down a win when they travel to Edison and the Bishop Ahr High School for a match today.

For tonight's speaker and topic, check the AAI website.

You Need To Know Bad Kitties: The Tap Room at the Somerset Hills Hotel features live music by Bad Kitty at 10 p.m.... as intriguing as that sounds, you shoul also know that Rolf's is featuring the Bob Lanza Band and its special holiday show.
