Welcome back to school! All schools are back in session for the new school year. Families are adjusting to their new schedules in their households. The fall sports seasons are kicking off and will keep the schools busy. Grab your sweatshirts, stadium seats and get out and cheer on the kids! It means a lot to them when the sts are full at their competitions. They appreciate the community support.
