Aledo goes pink

Don't be surprised if you experience a delay driving through Aledo today. It won't be a traffic accident or a train. At least we hope so. Because that would disrupt a pink parade for 6-year-old Jessie Hall, a Stuard Elementary School student who is facing brain surgery for a rare disorder that causes seizures. Expect to see a lot of pink as Jessie rides north on FM5 and Highway 1187 followed by a caravan of well-wishers. Even her neighborhood is decorated to welcome her home. Stay tuned.

Lockers for teachers

I've heard of lockers for students so they don't have to lug piles of books around all day. But what about teachers and administrators whose computers are overflowing withe files? They can use a new system called Web School Lockers to store files that they want to retain and share them with fellow staff members.
