This is the time of year when we get to start over. We head out to buy school clothes and supplies. We start setting our alarms to get ready for those early mornings, and we gather all the information we need to make sure our children have the best school year yet.

DO SOUTH MAGAZINE

Our Do South experts have done a lot of the work for you!

In this section, they'll tell you about educational opportunities, facilities designed to help your kids when they need it most, a church you may soon call home, great ways to stay in shape and learn new skills, and where to go for your children's health care and dental needs.
