There isn't always time to sit down and read the news. So in case you missed any of the week's stories, here's a look at what happened in the greater Media area over the course of the week.
This week, you told us about your dad's and submitted your best dad photos for our contests. Thanks so much for sharing. We told you about Nativity BVM School's graduation and final, last day of school. And we told you about a dog that was found starved and neglected in a flea and feces-filled basement and is currently in critical condition at the Delaware County SPCA. Donations for the dog's care are welcome at the Delco SPCA.
Below is a full list of this week's stories.
