Niles West, Niles North Closed Thursday

Here's what's happening in Niles and Morton Grove for Thursday, Sept. 5.

• Niles West and Niles North High Schools, as well as Skokie-Morton Grove District 69 elementary schools, are closed. Many Jewish families are observing Rosh Hashanah today. 

• Do your kids want to be firefighters? They can, for a little while, at "Captain Bill Presents: Safe In Your Home" at the Morton Grove Public Library at 4 p.m., for grades 2 through 6. If this is the Captain Bill we're thinking of, he's a real captain. 
• Two local teams face off in boys golf at 4 p.m.: It's Maine East v. Northridge Prep. 
• Garbage pickup in Niles is delayed one day due to the Labor Day holiday. If you normally have Thursday pickup, it will be Friday. For a normal Friday pickup, it will be Saturday.
• Looking ahead: the Niles Teen Center has movie night tomorrow, Friday Sept. 6.
