📰 News we're reading
• 'Cannot fit another desk': Several Severna Park schools face crowded classrooms (wcbm.com) — Several Severna Park schools are dealing with crowded classrooms, with some core classes reportedly topping 40 students after teachers were reassigned to higher-poverty areas under Maryland's Blueprint education law. Parents and local educators worry these larger classes will limit individual attention and make it harder for teachers to tailor lessons to students' needs. 
• Football's Back: Bruins Win Thriller; Falcons Clipped by Severn (severnaparkvoice.com) — Severna Park football fans saw the Falcons drop their season opener to Severn School, 36-10, in the first-ever football meeting between the town's two schools. Ben Greenlee scored Severna Park's lone touchdown, and the team now looks ahead to hosting Northeast on Thursday evening as Broadneck rides momentum from a dramatic win over St. Mary's.
