Happy Sunday, Glen Burnie! Let's get you all caught up on what's happening locally to start today off on an informed note.

Mostly cloudy. High: 56, low: 50.

Here are the top stories today in Glen Burnie:

1. Santa Claus is coming to town for events throughout the greater Severna Park area. Here is a list of appearances featuring photo opportunities, treats, activities and performances that are fun for the whole family. Santa will be joined by Mrs. Claus and the Grinch for some of the festivities. Click on the link and enjoy the festivities! (Severna Park Voice)
2. Thanksgiving travel is starting early this year and experts expect air travel to hit pre-pandemic levels. So, what does that mean for travelers? Thanks to COVID-19 vaccines and a number of safety protocols, many more people are saying, "OK, we're going to fly to grandma's this year for Thanksgiving." Airline industry experts are telling passengers to arrive early and bring a great deal of patience. For domestic flights, that means arrive two hours early, and for international flights, arrive at least three hours early. (Wmar2news)
3. The Board of Education last night formally approved two changes to the current school year calendar, closing school on Jun. 20, 2022, in recognition of Juneteenth and building in a two-hour early dismissal for staff and student personal wellness on Dec. 23, 2021. (Press Release Desk )
