With Presidents Day celebrated on Monday, many area schools and city offices will be closed in observance of the holiday.

School districts closed on Monday include Washington, Highland, Sigourney, Keota, Winfield-Mt. Union, and Lone Tree. St. James Elementary in Washington is also closed. Hillcrest Academy, Mid-Prairie, Columbus, and WACO will have classes, as some districts are using Monday as a makeup for weather-related cancellations in January.

For municipal closures, the city offices of Washington, Kalona, Wellman, Sigourney, Riverside, Columbus, and Lone Tree are all closed. Washington trash pickup will still run on the normal schedule. Remaining open on Monday is the Winfield City Office.

Area schools and city offices will be back open on Tuesday, February 20.
