Morning, people of Round Rock! Rose Mendez here with the Wednesday edition of the Round Rock Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and breezy. High: 80 Low: 45.

Here are the top three stories today in Round Rock:

1. The Life Academy, located at 3620 Hillside Drive in Round Rock, opened on Mar. 3 and offers child care services and private education. The Life Academy offers holiday and summer camps, before and after school care for public school students, and classical and faith-based education. (Community Impact Newspaper)
2. The Williamson Museum hosts its annual week-long "Summer History Explorers Camp" for kids between third and sixth grade.

From our sponsor:

Where should you invest as a Round Rock resident with a $149,000 nest egg? Thanks to a change in the legal code, there’s a new investment Round Rock residents need to know about. In fact, Bloomberg asked experts where they’d invest $100,000 right now and many of them chose it.

This may surprise you, but it’s fine art.

Growing your nest egg with art isn’t new. Wealthy families like the Rockefellers have done it for centuries.

Here’s why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

Translation: Art could be one of the best investments for uncertain times.

Luckily for you, we found Masterworks. This revolutionary platform lets you invest in art by Warhol, Monet, Picasso without spending millions.

The best part? Anyone from your area can skip their waitlist*.
