The cover feature, “How the School System Is Going Green,” spotlighted the local schools' environmental efforts, showing how sustainability was taking root in area classrooms — a forward-looking education story as the school year began.
“Good-bye Mommy, Good-bye Daddy” addressed one of the hardest realities of military family life — the goodbyes of deployment — with compassion and practical support for the children left behind, a subject of profound relevance in a Fort Campbell community. “Education, a Different Perspective” and a Learning feature rounded out the back-to-school coverage.
The health pages helped readers “Drop the Spots” on skin concerns, and “Stress-Free and Budget-Friendly Labor Day Entertaining” helped host the holiday weekend. The recurring departments round out an August number that meets both the practical and the profound — from a budget-friendly Labor Day to a child's goodbye at the airport.
Pamela Magrans's “How the School System Is Going Green” started from the small economies every family knows — turning off the lights, shutting down the computer, nudging the thermostat down a couple of degrees — and scaled them up to a whole district. In a struggling economy, the piece showed how the same instincts that trim a household's utility bill, applied across dozens of school buildings, could add up to real savings for the community.
