“School is almost starting and I want to ask you a favor...sit with your child for five minutes and explain that there’s never a reason to make fun of someone for their height, their weight, their skin tone, their home life or the things they enjoy.
Explain there’s nothing wrong with wearing the same shoes every day.
Explain to them that a used backpack carries the same dreams as a new one. Teach them not to exclude anyone for being different. Explain to them that teasing hurts and that school is for going to learn, not to compete or spread negativity. Remind them some kids don’t go home to loving families so it’s important to be kind. It all starts at home.”

“I would like to put a huge shout-out and thank you to the owner of 1922 Libations & Bites. There were 11 of us who came in the other night after a memorial. He closes at 10 p.m. and it was already 9:20 p.m. We just wanted one drink to toast the passing of a friend and mother.
He was so gracious and made sure to let us know that he was happy to stay open as long as we needed. He even was sure to let us know that food was also still available knowing that we probably had not eaten.
He didn’t even hesitate.
I’ve gone there many times for a drink after work, but his extraordinary kindness that night definitely encourages me to be more of a regular.
If you haven’t stopped by here, I highly suggest it for exceptional drinks, yummy tapas and a welcoming smile.”

“I had a coupon for any specialty pizza at Domino’s. I ordered the extravaganza. I’m here to tell you that it was possibly the best pizza we have ever had. Cooked to perfection.
All ingredients were so fresh. The cheese was melted perfectly to combine and meld with all the goodies included on the pie and the garlic crust was incredible. Whenever I get something that someone made that is outstanding, I like to call them and tell them what a great job they did. When I spoke to the general manager, Tyric Ackerman, I learned he has been working there for four years and has recently started a fun game called Find the Pizza Man. He occasionally dresses up as a slice of pizza and hides somewhere downtown. The first to find him and take a picture wins a large pizza. Shoutout to Tyric Ackerman for caring about our community.”
