Back To School

It's that time of year again when our children will be heading back to school. Bus stops will be bustling with youngsters in their new shoes and backpacks. Buses will be stopping at every corner; some on their usual route, familiar with streets, some new to the job, new to the neighborhood and perhaps driving slowly to be sure they don't miss a stop. Whatever the case, we must be patient and put the safety of our children and our neighbors' children first. So give yourself a little extra time in the morning and give those buses and our kids the right of way.

Back to school also means sports registration, scout registration, dance registration and all that goes along with being part of a large school community. Get involved in your community and make a difference. Volunteer, whether for your child's after school activity or in the local fire or ambulance departments. Be a part of the great Floyd community. Remember, change starts with one.
