Colts and Patachou Foundation partner to upgrade school and fight hunger
INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Colts announced a $1 million gift to support PataSchool to transform school kitchens in Indianapolis into spaces to help provide healthy meals to students.
“For many children, school breakfasts and lunches are the only guaranteed meals of the day, with school meals accounting for half of a child’s daily calories,” said Colts Vice Chair & Owner Kalen Jackson, said in a press release.

The PataSchool is an initiative of ThePatachou Foundation, which according to the organization works to restore working kitchens in schools, hires and trains culinary staff and provides free, scratch-made meals.
“One in five kids in Indianapolis is living with hunger, and the lack of access to quality food negatively impacts school attendance, behavior in and out of school and overall health,” Jackson added.
The Colts say the goal of the partnership is to serve 1.2 million meals to 3,500 students in Indianapolis over the next five years.

“Just changing so much as your eating habits or introducing a new food they may never even heard of can do so much to just kind of expand their mind to look further than the environment they are already in,” Colts Linebacker, Zaire Franklin told WRTV.
The partnership already supports Circle City Prep Elementary School on the far east side and Purdue Polytechnic High School on the near eastside.
Tuesday’s announcement now adds Adelante Schools at Emma Donnan School #72.

Pleasant stretch continues with dry days into midweek | May 30, 2026
TONIGHT
Partly cloudy and cooler with lows dropping into the low 50s. An east northeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph eases a bit overnight, and the quiet weather pattern holds with no rain concerns.
TOMORROW
Mostly sunny with a pleasant late May feel and highs in the upper 70s. Winds stay light from the east southeast around 5 mph, and the day looks dry from start to finish with comfortable humidity for outdoor plans.
TOMORROW NIGHT
Mostly cloudy and milder with lows near 60. Winds go calm for a time, and it stays quiet across central Indiana with an easy overnight setup and no meaningful weather issues.
MONDAY
Mostly sunny and a touch warmer with highs around 80. A light northeast breeze around 5 mph develops in the afternoon, and this continues to look like one of the cleanest days of the stretch for being outside.
MONDAY NIGHT
Mostly clear and seasonably mild with lows in the upper 50s. Light northeast wind around 5 mph fades later in the evening, and dry weather holds through the night.
TUESDAY
Sunny and pleasant again with highs in the upper 70s. An east northeast breeze around 5 to 10 mph, with a few gusts close to 20 mph, adds a little movement to the air, but the overall feel stays comfortable and quiet.
TUESDAY NIGHT
Clear and cool with lows in the mid 50s. Winds become light and variable, and this looks like another calm overnight stretch with no weather trouble.
WEDNESDAY
Sunny and warm with highs around the upper 70s to near 80. Wind stays light, becoming east northeast around 5 mph in the afternoon, and the dry stretch continues with another solid day for outdoor plans.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Mostly clear and mild with lows near the upper 50s. Light and variable wind keeps the night quiet, and the settled pattern stays in place.
7 DAY FORECAST
The broader pattern stays very calm through the middle of next week, with dry weather favored and temperatures running close to average for the end of May and start of June. Highs generally hold in the upper 70s to low 80s, nights stay in the 50s, and the next better rain chance does not arrive until next Saturday. That means several straight days of usable weather across Indianapolis before the pattern turns more active again later next weekend.

IndyCar driver Felix Rosenqvist had the busiest week after winning the Indianapolis 500
The Indianapolis 500 is kind of unusual in that it’s the biggest race the series has to offer, and it comes in the middle of the season after an entire month of preparation.
That’s exhausting, and for the winner, attaining a lifelong dream like that means one thing: one hell of a wild week before you have to do it all over again.
IndyCar is in Detroit this week for the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix, but Rosenqvist hasn’t had much downtime since the biggest win of his career.

According to IndyCar, immediately after winning the race, Rosenqvist’s media obligations got under way and those continued for several hours after the race.
Then, on Monday, he had more interviews and a photo session and the Victory Celebration that night.

Then it was on to New York for more interviews, trips to the Empire State Building, Times Square, and even the red-carpet premiere of Indy 500 Grand Marshal Brendan Fraser’s new movie, “Pressure.”
On top of that, he still had more to do in Indy and threw out the first pitch at a Tigers game ahead of the Detroit Grand Prix weekend.

I’m exhausted typing that. He lived it, and still has to race this weekend.
And, oh yeah, this is coming about two weeks after he became a father.

“Obviously, (I’m) tired, but I had fun with it,” he said. “(There were) a lot of interviews, but you’ve got to strike when the iron is hot, right? Also, I feel like I’m representing motorsports in a way maybe we normally (can’t). It’s kind of cool. It’s good for the sport.”

It’s great for the sport, and especially after the closest finish in Indy 500 history and one of the most exciting. It’s also great to ride the momentum and get back to racing as soon as possible.

Rosenqvist will look to become the first driver to win the next race after winning the Indy 500 in quite some time, but he’ll have to do it from the middle of the pack. He’ll start the Chevrolet Detroit Grand Prix in P16.
Championship leader Alex Palou starts on pole with Will Power alongside him on the front row in P2.

Circle City Orchestra wraps up season with ‘Sound Bites’ fundraiser
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Circle City Orchestra will close its 2025-26 season with a special “Sound Bites” concert on Sunday.
The concert begins at 4 p.m. at the Athenaeum’s Basile Theatre. Admission is free, with a suggested donation to support the nonprofit, all-volunteer orchestra and “keep the music going.”
Craig Mince, president of the Athenaeum, said the venue has been home to the orchestra for several years — a connection that runs deeper than most might expect. The Athenaeum once hosted a full-time orchestra of its own, and welcoming Circle City Orchestra back into the space has felt like a natural homecoming.
“We love having them,” Mince said. “It harkens back to an old Athenaeum orchestra that used to be in the building full-time. We’re happy to have music back in the building again.”
Phil Kranyak, principal cellist with the orchestra, started playing cello in third grade but stepped away from the instrument for 17 years before joining Circle City Orchestra. He said the group’s welcoming culture made the return feel seamless.
“We are inclusive in every sense of the word,” Kranyak said. “Whether you’re picking up an instrument for the first time or coming back after a long pause, it is so easy to step into this orchestra.”
Andrew Wu, an oboist who joined about a year ago, had a similar experience. Wu played violin, saxophone, and oboe through graduate school before taking a roughly 10-year break. He said the orchestra gave him a meaningful way to reconnect with both music and community.
“Music is such an important part of people’s lives,” Wu said. “Being able to express yourself through music and connect with a greater audience — and within your own orchestra — is just wonderful.”
The orchestra says it is always looking for new musicians.
Rehearsals are held every Wednesday at the Athenaeum, and new faces are always welcome. Mince said nearly every rehearsal brings at least one first-time attendee, and the orchestra embraces that.
Musicians do not need to commit to a full season – the orchestra asks only that members participate in rehearsals for the concert cycle they plan to perform in.
