To the Editor:
I am compelled to acknowledge the many Ridgefield groups who have united in the challenge of teaching music in our district during COVID-19 this past year, in the face of so many hurdles that could have disrupted learning far more had they not thought outside the box.
Specifically, I want to point out the wonderful collaboration of the Ridgefield public schools music programs and teachers, as well as Ridgefield Music Matters - with the student-created Ridgefield Music Mentors program.
The RMM tutoring program was the brainchild of several students even before COVID began. As teachers and students were struggling last spring with the disruption to learning that is almost always in-person and hands-on, it was clear that this interruption in music would be detrimental to RPS students.

Wood, the global consulting and engineering company, recently completed its role as owner’s engineer on Oman Shell’s first utility-scale, photovoltaic (PV) solar project in the Middle East, designed to cut emissions from industrial activities.
The development will supply renewable electricity to a large ferrochrome production facility, displacing the equivalent gas-fired power generation taken from the grid and saving more than 25 000 tpy of CO

The landmark project is focused on improving the utilisation, energy efficiency, and carbon intensity of energy production operations, accelerating solar energy development in The Sultanate of Oman, and helping to meet growing demand for cleaner, more sustainable energy.

March 10, 2021LITCHFIELD The Prospect Mountain girls basketball team found itself down by 10 points early in the second quarter in Sunday s Division III quarterfinal tilt at Campbell.
And, the Timber Wolves also found themselves down by 11 early in the fourth quarter.
But both times, the Prospect girls rallied, cutting the gap to one possession both times, but they never quite got over the hump, dropping a 40-35 decision to the Cougars. We didn t take enough outside shots in the long run, said coach Rick Burley. We told them we had to shoot more.
