Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope you are having a wonderful week. Some local children just finished school and a few have a couple more weeks. My daughter (Montgomery County) was excited to wrap up this year and get summer started. We will spend most of our summer at local pools, enjoying walking/nature trails and visiting the lake. Where will you be? Congratulations to all the families with graduates this year, we are sure it is a very bittersweet time for you.
