“This is the moment to act — for our environment and for our future.”

On Friday’s World Environment Day, UN Secretary-General António Guterres renews his call for urgent climate action: cutting emissions, accelerating a just transition away from fossil fuels towards renewable energy, protecting forests and oceans, and other critical measures for people and planet.

Our Old South crossing guards are amazing! Thank you for keeping us safe!

It’s School Crossing Guard Appreciation Week!

Crossing guards help keep our roads safe, especially for students walking or biking to school. Rain or shine, they show up to help our community stay safe and connected.

Take a moment this week to say thank you and recognize the difference they make every day. 💛
