For many during COVID-19, work roles have changed as people pivot to fill the needs of this TLS community. Alana (Mrs. Stuart) worked for a decade in preschool after getting her degree in Education from Midway College.

And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first, they have to understand that their neighbor is, in the end, just like them, with the same […]
Winter Break at The Lexington School just happened. Some families took a vacation while others maintained a regular routine with a little bit of rest.
