The Henderson News · Gunter, TX
Nearby: Gunter, TXAs Veterans Day approaches, our nation rightly pauses to honor the men and women who have worn the uniform of the United States Armed Forces. We express our tremendous gratitude for their sacrifices, applaud their service, and reflect on the true cost of freedom. Having served on active duty in the U.S. Army, I deeply appreciate those tributes. But as a veteran who now leads a public school district, Veterans Day always turns my attention toward a group of heroes who rarely receive a medal or stand in a parade: the military-connected children sitting in our Texas classrooms. I know firsthand the cost these children pay. I remember what it felt like to zip up a duffel bag and look into my children’s eyes, knowing that for the next nine to twelve months, a grainy screen or a brief phone call would be our communication to bridge the thousands of miles between us.

Fun News Daily · Denton, TX
Nearby: Denton, TXYes — Launch Family Entertainment is now open in Denton. According to Cross Timbers Gazette, the company opened a 30,000-square-foot center on Friday inside Golden Triangle Mall at 2201 S. Interstate 35, its fourth Texas location alongside Arlington, Lewisville and West Houston. The interesting part is not the opening itself. It is what the opening tells you about where the indoor family entertainment business is heading — toward bigger footprints, food and drink built in, and malls hungry for tenants who pull crowds on a Saturday. And Denton is about to become a test case, because Urban Air Adventure Park is also prepping a Denton location, per the same report. Here is the expert read on what changed, why the details matter, and what families should watch for before the grand opening on Saturday, Dec. 5 — including a free-jump offer with a ladder worth understanding.
The Henderson News · Wylie, TX
Nearby: Wylie, TXNext week, Henderson ISD will conduct a full-scale reunification exercise involving students and staff from Wylie Primary and Wylie Elementary schools, along with district personnel and local emergency responders. There is no emergency associated with this exercise. We are practicing so that if the day ever comes when we need these procedures, our people and our partners are ready. Reunification is the process we would use to safely bring students and their families back together if an emergency required us to evacuate a school and move students to another location. Texas schools are required to plan and practice for emergencies, including evacuation, and to include reunification as part of their emergency operations plans. This exercise helps us meet those responsibilities while giving our staff and community partners an opportunity to practice the entire process together.
