FROM THE EDITOR
Happy May !
May brings with it such renewal and hope , with the graduation of students taking their next steps into the world and students moving from one grade to the next . A summer full of opportunities and adventures awaits .
It is also the month where we honor our mothers ! Whether you still have your mother or not , we all had women who shaped us . As mothers ourselves , we try to take the best of what we have observed and apply it to raising our own children . Motherhood is a 24 / 7 kind of job , with no retirement date , though our duties change through the years . Whether you are changing diapers or being a chauffeur for soccer games , every stage is important in the raising of children to be capable , caring adults .
In this issue , we honor mothers and give some ideas on how to take care of yourself ! We also share ideas for passing down traditions and honoring our mothers who are no longer with us . We highlight some local companies that are working on family-friendly policies and share how to give a great Mother ’ s Day tea . If you are reading this in print , the recipes from the tea are available on our website .
We hope you have noticed our fantastic contests . We must thank our great sponsors and advertisers who have been so generous to our readers . Head on over to our website to see what we have for you to win this month !
We are proud to have our graduation gallery available on our website . It is a great way to honor your graduate with a picture and a statement of support or achievements and plans ! It is a free way to share your senior ’ s accomplishments with family and friends !
