Millburn-Short Hills Magazine Back-to-School 2018 | Page 10

editor’s letter S eptember is a great month for personal reinvention; we’ve returned from sum- mer break having traveled and tried new activities, and we want to shake things up a bit. Not coin- cidentally, the Millburn & Short Hills Magazine Back to School issue has a lot to say about fashion. In “Fashion Forward,” Short Hills’ own Rachel Zoe reflects on attend- ing Millburn High School, where she learned how to love learning from her beloved English teacher, Ellen Krueger — who is still on staff there. She shares the benefits and pitfalls of constantly being in the limelight, and what she hopes her two young sons learn in school. And she has words of hope for other mothers of boys who wish they had more fashion decisions to make other than choosing one dark color over another. For mothers of girls and the young ladies themselves, our fashion round- up, [“Back To School in Style”], gives a heads up on new styles and accessories available this season. School is a natural venue for try- ing on new versions of yourself, but every parent knows that growing up in our society isn’t always a lighthearted affair. Our Neighbors column high- lights a member of the community who leaves a notebook and pens in a woodland mailbox so passersby can write anonymous, and often confessional, feelings. Here’s hoping that the upcoming school year is a fun, productive one for you and yours. ■ CINDY SCHWEICH HANDLER correction In our May issue’s Top Doctors & Dentists special advertising section, the name of periodontist Cheryl Goren Robins, DDS, was misspelled.
