An interview by Cliff Lavergne took readers inside local elementary education, stopping at schools including Barkers Mill Elementary near Tiny Town Road and St. Bethlehem Elementary, where one young student's affection for principal Terry Workman and “St. Bee” captured the warmth of a good neighborhood school.
A standout feature by Kimberly Haynes Titlebaum, inspired by Rudyard Kipling, reshaped the poet's form into a reflection for parents — the kind of original, literary touch that set the young magazine apart from a plain listings guide.
A profile of photographer Monica Quattrochio celebrated a local artist behind the lens, in keeping with the magazine's early and lasting habit of championing the community's creative talent.
“Thanksgiving Fun” brought the season's spirit to the pages with ideas for celebrating the holiday, and a Marketplace feature pointed readers toward local businesses.
In the archive, the November number marks the magazine's first Thanksgiving with the community — balancing local schools, original writing and the arts, and beginning a long tradition of gathering and gratitude the publication would share year after year. The Titlebaum piece in particular showed a magazine willing to take a creative risk in its earliest months, giving readers something to savor rather than skim.
