What is a prom?(0)
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. (Sometimes I really can’t believe I get paid to do this sort of thing!) I started wondering if any of the seniors there had been to a prom [...]
Two incumbents to be joined by Cooper on Wolfforth Council
With two of two precincts reporting, Wolfforth has a new face on the city council, in addition to two incumbents. Randy Gross and James Vardy, both incumbents, received 62 and 65 votes, respectively. David Cooper, who ran for the first time in Wolfforth, received 53 votes. Incumbent Ramiro Villarreal received 33 votes. The top three [...]
Character scholarships are the big story this week
My story on 18 Frenship students who received character scholarships from the Frenship Foundation for Leadership practically wrote itself this week. (I’ll be posting it tomorrow, probably.)

Easter events, anyone?
Meadow at Cornerstone Bible Church is always so on top of things! She reminded me today that Easter is coming up. In the past Frenship Today has done a listing of Easter events. I’m not sure if we will do a cover story on that this year, but we can definitely run a listing of [...]
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 [...]
