Happy Fall! What a beautiful time of year in Cypress. The weather is starting to cool down, and our sunrises and sunsets are enchanting. The trees and flowers are still in bloom, and early morning and evening walks dazzle our senses and support our mental and physical health. With September comes our focus on education. So this month, you will have a healthy dose of it: from school openings, homeschooling, and hosting international students to providing sponsorships abroad and scholarships to students around Cypress. Check out our story about Basham's Little Free Library at OnSite Certification in Waller. It provides a library for the children of Waller, who lost their public library over two years ago. And, since we have a new church in the neighborhood, we thought you would like to learn about the new pastor and his family. Please remember to be on the lookout for all the amazing acts of kindness and generosity you find around the community and send me your tips or, better yet, your stories regarding them. It is good practice to recognize the admirable qualities of others. And, it makes my day to hear about them from readers. So as they used to say back in the day, "Keep those cards and letters coming in!" You can reach me at jackiedevine@peelinc.com.
