Digital Edition of the Norwood News Is Out!

by David Cruz

Have two weeks flown by already? They must have since the latest edition of the Norwood News is out filled with plenty of news you can share with your community.

This edition we look at the implications behind the impending closure of Shrine of Saint Ann’s Church in Norwood, one of six churches slated for closure in the Bronx. Michaela Ross picks up the story and what parishioners think on the closure. The feature In The Public Interest focuses on ways the city Education Department intends to fix the overcrowding issue in school districts, a step in the right direction for parents in the ballooning School District 10.

We then feature a new CPR training school breathing new life in Wakefield, Montefiore Medical Center’s latest opening and familiar staples–Out & About and Neighborhood Notes.

Spread the word, tell your friends, and stop by one of the 300-plus locations that carry the Norwood News. Or just read it from the convenience of your computer and ‘like’ us on Facebook!

Welcome to the Norwood News, a bi-weekly community newspaper that primarily serves the northwest Bronx communities of Norwood, Bedford Park, Fordham and University Heights. Through our Breaking Bronx blog, we focus on news and information for those neighborhoods, but aim to cover as much Bronx-related news as possible. Founded in 1988 by Mosholu Preservation Corporation, a not-for-profit affiliate of Montefiore Medical Center, the Norwood News began as a monthly and grew to a bi-weekly in 1994. In September 2003 the paper expanded to cover University Heights and now covers all the neighborhoods of Community District 7. The Norwood News exists to foster communication among citizens and organizations and to be a tool for neighborhood development efforts. The Norwood News runs the Bronx Youth Journalism Heard, a journalism training program for Bronx high school students.
