Cover Story
Pickleball – it’s the fastest growing American pastime since rollerbladers stormed the sidewalks in the 1990s. In case you are one of the few who’s not heard of it, the game is similar to tennis but played on a smaller court, involves a paddle rather than a racket and uses a perforated ball. While tennis courts are being reconfigured to accommodate pickleball’s smaller footprint at private clubs and neighborhoods parks, it has remained surprisingly difficult to find public court access close to Stone Oak.
Student Spotlight
Ronald Reagan High School senior Charlotte Cheslock cannot remember when she wasn’t dancing. She grew up watching from her stroller seat as her mother taught at Heather Stolle School of Dance and couldn’t wait to follow the family foot points. Her older sister (RHS class of 2021) also dances, and Charlotte started taking classes as soon as she turned two. She began assisting with the younger girls when she was in fifth grade and now is paid to substitute teach tap/ballet/jazz classes as well as demonstrate and lead stretches.

The time comes for all of us when we look at our elderly pet and wonder when they’ll cross the rainbow bridge.
