Glowbar, a premium 30-minute-facial boutique, celebrated their opening today at 33 Elm Street. The small shop, owned by Rachel Liverman and Neha Govindraj, joins the brand’s two other locations located on Manhattan - both in Tribeca and the UES.
While speaking with the Westport-Weston Chamber of Commerce, Liverman said “"We wanted to expand into Connecticut and Westport was the obvious choice.” She continued to say “Everyone has been so welcoming, this was the right choice."
The facial space offers both memberships and one-off appointments in the newly constructed storefront behind historic Brooks Corners. Facials are performed by trained estheticians and are done with COVID-19 precautions in place.
Superintendent: No COVID-19 Cases to Report Today
Dear Westport Families and Staff,
I am pleased to share with you this evening that we had no new cases of Covid-19 reported today.
As a reminder, families are asked to report positive COVID-19 cases of students using our reporting voicemail or email regardless of whether the students are in remote or in-person models of instruction. Please follow this link for more information on reporting.
Additionally, we want to remind families that students with pending Covid-19 tests should not return to school until receiving negative results. This approach is critical in helping us continue minimizing the potential for transmission in our schools.
Respectfully,
Thomas Scarice
Superintendent of Schools
