Back to School
Dr. Kelly Pelletier and Angelo Intravaia
It’s the beginning of another school year and once again we were able to help provide school supplies to Riverside Elementary School. Thank you to all who made this possible, and thank you to Angelo Intravaia for being our delivery man.
It is so nice to have a newly paved Magnolia Homes Road and freshly painted school crossing lines. This will make going to school much safer for those who walk each morning. Another benefit of winning Corridor of the Year in 2022.
As adults it’s easy to forget the rhythm of the school year. That is, unless you have school-aged children at home or like many of our neighbors you work in the school system.
Time seemed to slow down when each school year began in our family. Every day was full of homework assignments, carpooling to and from school or sports practices and packing/unpacking lunch bags. The mundane of every day seemed to make time crawl.
Now for those of us on the other side of this short season of life, time seems to pass much faster.
Time no longer crawls but it’s on fast forward. Before you know it what seemed a lifetime ahead of us now seems like only years. This isn’t to sound morbid, but the opposite—It’s a reminder that time is precious and every minute we breathe is a gift. We can make the most of it by giving of ourselves to each other and our community.
Our neighborhood excels in providing opportunities to help others.
For example:
The People of Lockhart hosted its first fund-raising event this month—a lasagna dinner with lots of fun games and giveaways mixed throughout the evening. Nearly 65 were in attendance and at least 25% were from LBO. Thank you for taking the time to be there. It was a memorable event. And thank you to Lindsey Smestad and Lucy Barnes for serving on the POL board. You represent our neighborhood well.
Trash pick up is a regular need on Magnolia Homes Road. Many neighbors carry in their cars a garbage bag and trash grabber. If they pass trash along the road it takes no time to stop and pick it up. Using a trash grabber keeps you from touching the debris. It’s a simple, but effective way to give back to our community. And the best part? You don’t have to sign up to do it. Any time spent doing this helps make Lockhart a nicer place to live. You can get your trash grabber here.
See you at our next event - Wine Down on October 11, 2024 at Pete and Julie Mickler’s. See calendar for details.
Until next time,
Debi Walter, LBO Events Coordinator
