5 Things You Need to Know Today: Feb. 20

From entertainment for children on break to the tax rate; we have what you need to know today.

1. School vacation week hits its midpoint today. The Marlborough Public Library will be hosting crafts and a video game tournament in the afternoon. More information is available on the Library's website.

2. We have a list of all the honors students at Marlborough High School available here. Due to the large number of exceptional students, few places have the full list, but Marlborough Patch does.

3. We want to see your vacation photos. We want to see them so badly, in fact, that we are featuring a contest where you can win a $25 gift certificate to a local business. So enter here and see if your photos have what it takes to win.

5. Did you know the residential tax rate for 2013 sits only slightly above where it was in 2001? It took a dive from that point before coming back up this year. It is the highest residential tax rate the city has seen since 2001.
