Martindale residents recently enjoyed the 28th annual Fourth of July parade, with over 50 floats, food, drink and information booths, live music and fellowship. The Latham Family float led the parade, honored with the special distinction of being the only family in the parade 28 years ago. Car clubs, sports teams, elected officials, Martindale police, fire and EMS, as well as Caldwell constables and commissioners made up the multitude of colorful floats.

A one-size-fits-all approach to public education is becoming increasingly obsolete. Despite the overuse of standardized exams to measure the effectiveness of instruction in Texas, each student brings a unique set of academic, social, and emotional needs to the classroom that must be nurtured and developed. Recognizing and addressing these needs individually is crucial in cultivating well-rounded, successful individuals. Individualizing the educational experience is not just about academic excellence; it’s about creating an environment where every child can thrive holistically and prepare for success past their K-12 education.

I left my vintage Triple Crown mug at a coffee shop, and I almost burst into tears when I realized my mistake. I figured the sweet owners and staff at the café, where they know me as the English- speaking lady who prefers her yellows runny and her whites solid in her menemen, would likely hold onto the treasured mug, assured of my return. Nevertheless, I feared for the safety of the deteriorating black decals on the ivory ceramic. Would they scrub the inside AND the outside of the mug? Would they simply keep it preserved with the crusty remnants of French press I’d rolled in there with? I was panicked, to say the least.
