Dear Readers,

As the heat of the dog days of summer begin to give way to ... well, the heat of a new school year, we are pleased to share stories that celebrate the spirit of community, service, and growth. From safety to celebrations, we have a range of friendly topics we hope will intrigue and inspire you.

Diving first into community news, join us as we welcome principals Craig Wilson and Daniella Ogundare to Double Creek Elementary and Jarrell Middle School, respectively. These new and energetic leaders are already reaching out in the community with fresh perspectives, determined to shape young minds and cultivate environments that foster creativity, curiosity, and inclusivity in our ISD.

We are also delighted to announce the launch of our ISD’s new police department. As a parent, I am reassured to see our school district’s commitment to student safety align with my own. I look forward to its future growth and many positive interactions between our kiddos and the new law enforcement team.

If you’re ready for a family day out, save the date for Holy Trinity church’s legendary annual bazaar on September 17. This special event has long been a cherished tradition within our community, bringing together friends and families for a day filled with food and fellowship.

Another story we love is about Lee McDaniel—the remarkable lady with the warm smile in the rotunda of the Williamson County Historical Courthouse. When she is not helping citizens and visitors, she is a passionate advocate and a legal paraprofessional who has devoted her time and expertise to help veterans and first responders navigate the complexities of preparing essential legal documents for free.

As always, our mission is to inform, entertain, and strengthen the bonds of our community. We hope the stories in this August issue will accomplish just that.
