HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS MONTH
FROM PAPAR: There are a variety of reasons why the Pearland and Friendswood area continues to appeal to families and homeowners, one of those being the highly desirable public schools in Alvin, Friendswood and Pearland ISDs. Your elected o cials have several bills pertaining to education this legislative session that could change public school systems, from funding to security and even teacher retention. Our story on Page 10 focuses on one of the major education bills lawmakers are working on this legislative session. Papar Faircloth, GENERAL MANAGER
FROM JAKE: Space sure is cool, huh? It’s even sweeter now that we know the astronauts who will y on the Artemis 2 mission to the moon next year. But there’s plenty of space- related news happening on Earth, too, such as planned expansions to the Houston Spaceport—a hub designed for local aerospace companies—and planned upgrades to Space Center Houston, a local museum that gives visitors a close-up look at the Johnson Space Center. Check out our front-page story this month to learn more about all the exciting advancements coming to the area. Jake Magee, SENIOR EDITOR
