🌱 A Local 10 Year Old Publishes Chapter Book + Remembering 9/11 Info

Good morning, everybody. It's me, Elaine Thompson, your host of the Round Rock Daily — back in your inbox with all the most important things happening in town. How's your week going so far?

First, today's weather:

Plenty of sun. High: 93 Low: 70.

Here are the top stories in Round Rock today:

1. Highschoolers in the Young Men's Service League made up a lot of the volunteer groups that came to help place flags and organize different aspects of the Remembering 9/11: Flag tribute at Veterans Memorial in Round Rock. Diverse groups of volunteers all joined in to honor those that lost their lives on 9/11, and they have encouraged the public to come and enjoy the memorial and the freedoms we have today. (FOX 7)
2. Parents who are looking for a private school for their children to attend, this 2022-2023 guide to options in Round Rock, Pflugerville and Hutto is varietal with tuition prices included. Parents can expect the cost of tuition to be anywhere from $5,000- $16,000 per year, depending on the institution. (Community Impact Newspaper)
3. Can we brag on one of our littler locals, Pranshi Mehta? She is a fifth grader at a Round Rock ISD Elementary School and has written and published her children's chapter book, 'Hope.' Pranshi said she wanted to write a book about a young girl going on adventures and even saving her dad to show that children can save adults, just like adults can save children. (Facebook)
