Lynchburg City Schools said E.C. Glass High School and Dearington Elementary School are on lockout due to police activity in the community.

Students at a Lynchburg elementary school saw the impacts of Hurricane Ian and decided they wanted to do their part to help shelter pets.

LYNCHBURG, Va. Thanks to the generosity of her community, one Lynchburg teacher is helping her students continue to learn during the summer. Members of her gym wanted to do something for the community and thats when she thought of Books for Lynchburg, a book drive for her students at Dearington. She is hoping this book drive fills that gap. Shes partnered with Givens Books Little Dickens, a local book store, as part of the campaign. They will then work with Lynchburg Parks and Recreation to get the books to students starting July 13.
