As schools across Delmarva slowly bring students back to the classroom, Worcester County schools plan to go full throttle. In a few weeks, all students in Worcester County will have the option to return to in-person learning. Superintendent Louis H. Taylor is encouraging all students to return to classrooms on November 16th. Parents must let their child's school know whether they will continue online or opt for in-person. Some parents worry, that's too soon.

The Time Machine is a weekly feature I've enjoyed researching and compiling on The Pocomoke Public Eye since 2011.  I have fond memories of growing up in Pocomoke City and welcome reader contributions we can share about things you've read, remember, or were told relating to our Pocomoke/Eastern shore area...a sentence, a paragraph, or more all fine. Just email it.
