Giffen Memorial Elementary School will shift to distance learning Thursday due to an unpleasant odor that is impacting large sections of the building.
The odor developed at school Wednesday. The source was a blocked grease trap in the plumbing system. The problem was repaired, and maintenance staff will continue working Thursday to rid the building of the smell.
