11 It’s a Ringer
Dormont Horseshoe Club continues to draw members and
looks toward the future.
15 Special Section: The Changing Face of Education
The future looks bright for our students—and not just
from the glow of their smartphones. As educators work
to incorporate new methods for teaching, students are
adapting to new methods of learning.
21 Fall-tastic!
The end of summer doesn’t mean the end of outdoor
family fun. Get spooked at a haunted barn, kick up some
leaves or take advantage of the wide variety of fall festivals
and activities in your community.
25 Wag-Worthy Playgrounds
This fall, let your furry friends run free (or for a small fee)
