HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM PAPAR: There are so many great benefits to living in the Bay Area, one of those being our access to a variety of outdoor activities. Whether the water calls you or some hiking trails, we have the luxury of living life outdoors when we want—weather permitting, of course. This month we take some time to explore the nature around you with a story on Page 11, so be sure to take a look! Papar Faircloth, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM JAKE: Since December, some League City residents have been balking at League City City Council’s decision to create a new review committee for books residents flag as inappropriate or offensive. At the same time, Clear Creek ISD enacted tighter restrictions on school library materials available to students. We spoke to both sides of the issue to get the full story, so be sure to read our front-page story to learn more. Jake Magee, SENIOR EDITOR
