Pick of the day: Back to school


It’s the day of the year families look forward to and dread all summer: the first day of school, at least for the children in Vance County Schools. So watch out for school buses, walking children and parents driving like lunatics to get to school on time, whether to drop off or pick up their children. Meanwhile, Kerr-Vance Academy and Crossroads Christian School start up next Monday. Vance Charter School, because of construction delays on its home at Henderson Mall, begins classes Aug. 24, a week later than originally planned.
