‘Fantastical Fashion’ exhibit set to open at Pickens County museum
PICKENS — Twelve-year-old Teagan Leamey, a homeschool student in Pickens County, has a new exhibit opening at the Pickens County Museum this week.
Leamey, who is a member of and frequently attends events at the museum with her family, has served as a

Treat kids to lunches that meet all needs
School lunch may seem like a relatively easy concept for parents to master. However, day in and day out, enterprising moms and dads grow anxious over what to put into kids’ lunch boxes or bags.
Parents have foods they want their kids to eat, and then there are foods their grade-schoolers will actually consider. Schools may also place limitations on what kids can bring to school due to allergies or school rules on sweets versus healthy foods. Then there’s the packaging itself. Parents may weigh the benefits of everything from clever accessories to eco-friendly

Promote healthy weight starting with school lunch
Although there are a variety of theories behind the growing obesity problem plaguing North American adults and children, the most consistent findings point to caloric intake as the culprit. Here’s a simple equation to get to the root of the problem:
Calories eaten > calories spent = weight gain.
