It’s time for everyone to come to the same table and talk.

We see it in our own organization as well as outside entities — people work in silos, and the COVID-19 pandemic aftermath only heightened that fact. Folks have tunnel vision and only see instances from their own perspective and not another’s.

Parents send their children to school each morning with the expectation that they will safely return home each afternoon. We entrust their safety to the teachers and staff of their respective schools with the understanding that they care for our children as much as we do.

Four years ago, I started a small internship here at the Saratoga Sun.

I started with zero pay, zero idea what I was doing, and zero plans for the future. I don’t think I was engaged with the idea of the internship very much at first. I thought it might be fun, and that it might look good on my resume, but I don’t think I saw myself consistently returning to work at the Sun every summer I was home from college.

Hey Y'all. Our Special this week is a Southern favorite. Would you believe I am from the south and have just tried this for the first time. It was so amazing I had to share.

This recipe is from Southern Living Magazine.

Dear Editor,

Good on Powell High School for taking a firm stance on cellphones in school.

The new policy approved this year requires students to keep their phones off or on silent throughout the school day. It’s tough, I’m sure opposed by many students and it comes with serious penalties, but for the sake of our students I think it’s the right decision.
