What is a prom?(0)

May 13, 2013

On Saturday evening, I was happy to attend the Silver Prom at Wilshire Place Assisted Living, where Girl Scouts had planned a prom for seniors living there.

FISD cancels classes

I doubt anyone from Frenship ISD or other districts announcing closures this morning had to do more than peek out the window to see that school would not be happening today. It’s a mess out there, and may be getting worse. @NWSLubbock just tweeted about 20 minutes ago, “Heavy snowband approaching Reese Center/West Lubbock. Expect [...]
