Good morning, Cheyenne. Here's your local news at a glance for Wednesday, the 18th of June.

COMMUNITY NEWS

The emmer comes with recipes and information to guide residents in preparing nutritious meals.  KING FM

CRIME NEWS

EDUCATION NEWS

  • Laramie County School District 1 trustees voted unanimously on Monday to raise meal prices for students and adults in Cheyenne to cover rising food and labor costs and meet USDA guidelines—new prices will take effect in the upcoming school year.  Cap City News
  • Cheyenne’s Laramie County School District 1 Board of Trustees is pushing for a stricter cellphone policy to boost student focus and support teachers, though new changes will likely be implemented in the second semester of 2025 to 2026. A draft policy will be developed after summer with staff and a board vote is expected in December to allow a 45-day public comment review (addressing demands for stronger rule enforcement).  Cap City News
  • Laramie County School District 1 trustees approved the All-City Children's Chorus to begin raising funds for a trip to New York and Philadelphia in June 2026 — the trip is set for June 16–21 to coincide with the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. The chorus will cover its estimated $3,050.50 per student cost by fundraising individually and in groups through activities like chocolate sales and singathons — with a local concert planned before departure.  Cap City News
  • On Monday, the LCSD1 Board of Trustees approved contracts and amendments to improve online learning, school security, and support for students with disabilities. Superintendent Stephen Newton said the board renewed the Edgenuity contract, updated school resource officer services worth up to $720,000, and increased concurrent enrollment funding to help more high school students earn college credit—showing a commitment to student success.  Cap City News

ENVIRONMENT NEWS

  • Supercell thunderstorms last week produced hail as big as baseballs across Wyoming, Montana and Colorado that broke windows and injured wildlife. A rancher in Montana reported an injured hawk and warned that heavy hail damaged pastures and vehicles near Cheyenne — urging residents to store their cars in garages.  Cowboy State Daily
