HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM VICKI: Ten years ago this August, Community Impact published our very first issue in Frisco. At the time, the paper reached 54,000 mailboxes in the city. Today, more than 85,000 households get a paper every month, and many read our website every day. Thank you to our community, readers and advertising partners who have been a part of our story in Frisco. We can’t wait to see what the next decade brings! Vicki Chen, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM SAMANTHA: August is here, and that means it’s time for back to school. As many students return to the classroom, we take a look at our local public schools with our annual Education Edition. Inside you will find a story by Reporter Alex Reece about how Frisco ISD continues to grow, and with that growth comes more staff and schools (Page 32). You can also read about Prosper ISD’s latest discussions on a bond proposal (Page 26). Samantha Douty, EDITOR
