It’s Friday October 4th. 

The carving of Mount Rushmore began on this day in 1927, taking approximately 14 years to complete in 1941. The original artist, Gutzon Borglum, died before its completion, so his son had to finish the job. He chose the four presidents specifically because of their impact on the U.S., each signifying a different trait. Washington represents the nation’s birth, Jefferson represents growth, Teddy Roosevelt was responsible for great development, and Lincoln represents preservation of the country. 

The Boerne Parks and Rec department wants to remind you that the Boerne City Lake will be closed to the public all day tomorrow. Only those who registered for the Annual Family Campout will be allowed in the park. A reminder to those who are attending the event, there is no alcohol, glass containers, or ground fires allowed tomorrow, and you must be a happy camper.

Both Boerne and Champion High Schools have been selected as Silver Members of the AP School Honor Roll. Both schools had more than 62% of students take at least one AP exam, 46% scored a three or higher, and 25% of seniors took at least 5 AP exams. Another reason why our kids are blessed to be in Boerne ISD.

Hill Country Family Services has some items on their wish list to help folks in need. The Corner Cupboard Food Pantry, which they run and operate, has been providing healthy food options, education and dignity for those who need it, and allows clients to shop for the items they need for their family. This month the pantry is hoping for healthy soup, oranges, canned chicken, healthy cereal, laundry soap and jelly, so if you have room in your shopping cart, keep our dear friends at Hill Country Family Services in mind…Hill Country Family Services is on Advogt off North Main.  And don’t forget to shop at Random Hangers or donate to the thrift store.
