TIME FLIES
 

They say time flies when you're having fun.  Well, we must be having a blast because autumn is already here.  Students and teachers are gearing up for Fall Break, which begins Friday, October 12 and lasts through Tuesday, October 16.  In addition, the first quarter grading period will come to an end October 11.

This edition of IN FOCUS features three new videos.  In the first one, see how a group of Ravenwood students worked together to create a <MASTERPIECE>.   Also this week, a former NFL star shares some <WISDOM> with students at Brentwood Middle School, and another group of Williamson County secretaries and bookkeepers are treated to a <LUXURY LIMO LUNCH>.

We have plenty of other important information to pass along including the latest efforts to increase SECURITY at Williamson County elementary and middle schools.  Also, learn how to best protect your children from ILLNESS this cold/flu season.  Students at one local high school will be part of a new reality TV show called DRAG RACE HIGH, and a father takes his son to school for the first time since RETURNING HOME from Iraq. 

As always, check out our FUNDRAISERS and PHOTO GALLERY sections.  Plus, we have several new MUSIC/THEATER performances to tell you about.  Also, be sure to pass along the word to parents and business and community members to SIGN UP for IN FOCUS.  We want all Williamson County residents to be informed about their school district.  Enjoy this issue, and look for the next installment on October 25.
