HIGHLIGHTS FROMTHISMONTH
FROMKATHIE: Growing up, I had some amazing teachers. In addition to the usual courses, I learned to keep an open mind and to be honest and kind. Challenges during the pandemic have placed added pressures on our local teachers and exacerbated sta ng shortages locally (see Page 30). If you work in a school, please know you are appreciated. Kathie Snyder, GENERALMANAGER

FROMDANICA: While the rate of opioid prescriptions locally is decreasing over time, the rate of opioid-related emergencies has risen in the Cy-Fair region in recent years— especially since the start of the pandemic. We spoke with local experts this month about why we are seeing those numbers trend up and what area o cials are doing to help prevent opioid addiction and overdose (see Page 32). Danica Lloyd, EDITOR
