New Canaan Week in Review

A look at the top news for the past week.

In case you missed a day, here's a quick roundup of all the lead stories from New Canaan this week. There's always a lot going on, so take this opportunity to catch up if you missed something!

New Canaan music teacher Kathleen Dorfman appeared on America's Got Talent playing violin in the 3 Penny Chorus & Orchestra. The group made it all the way to the semi-final round. They did not advance, but their Facebook page says they loved the experience and, not to fret, the music will continue to flow. 

In police news, a woman was charged with stealing more than $1,300 worth of sunglasses and eyeglasses and a juvenile allegedly fessed up to police about drugs and paraphernalia he had in his car during a speeding stop. Additionally, in Animal Control news, PIN codes are in full effect at New Canaan's Spencer's Run, so be sure to register your pet so you can continue to use the dog park. 

State test scores were released this week and Superintendent Dr. Mary Kolek was satisfied with the results overall, though she said they'd be analyzing the data in coming weeks to find areas where improvement was necessary. 

Two New Canaan friends opened up their first store together in Fairfield, athletic specialty shop The Authentic Athlete. They hope to expand as the grow and eventually open up a shop in their home town, so make that happen and go visit!
