When we first started discussing the idea of re-launching our Kaufman County Life magazine, there were plenty of questions that needed to be answered.
Who will get it? What will be its focus? Who is our audience? Is there even a demand for such a project? And, more importantly, what are we going to put in it?
The answer to all those questions is simple: this magazine will be about life — or, more specifically, life in Kaufman County.
Once a more rural part of North Texas, over the last decade we have witnessed tremendous growth in Kaufman County. Now as one of the state’s fastest growing areas, we saw a need to tell the stories of the people who live here in Kaufman County. We want to celebrate our communities’ accomplishments as well as delve deeper into the issues that affect you, the residents and businesses of Kaufman County.
Our inaugural edition focuses on those people who we see making a difference in the lives of our children. We’ve featured six Kaufman County educators who we believe go above and beyond their call of duty when it comes to our children.
John F. Kennedy once said, “Our progress as a nation can be no swifter than our progress in education. The human mind is our fundamental resource.”
Educators, whether they are in the classroom or in administration, help shape our nation’s future by properly preparing our children for life ahead of them. The six people we highlight in this edition of Kaufman County Life are but a sample of the wonderful educators we have in Kaufman County. We hope their stories inspire you.
In addition to our cover story on “Higher Learning,” we hope you will enjoy the other stories about people and businesses in Kaufman County. Be sure to read about the life lessons Brian Frosch teaches with his bracelets or about what has inspired to Nancy Schieffler to cook meals for hundreds each Thanksgiving.
Also, check out our Community Calendar, which highlights some of the fun activities planned in Kaufman County in the coming months.
Ultimately, with Kaufman County Life, we are excited about the opportunity to be storytellers.
We hope you enjoy reading those stories as much as we have
sharing them with you.
