• BEST grants awarded to new teachers

  RISD students were scrambling back to classes this past week. Along with the new students were a whole new slate of first-year teachers. At the beginning of each school year, the Rockwall ISD Education Foundation, Inc. presents each new teacher — new to Rockwall and new to the teaching profession — with a grant of $200. The funds are to assist the teacher in offsetting the expenses of setting up a classroom.

Opinion

• The day my soaking turned to gushing

  I got one of those dreaded telephone calls while away from home on a recent Saturday night.
  The good news is that the call had nothing to do with car wrecks or emergency rooms.
  But the news was bad enough.
