Thank you to all our wonderful advertisers who support and enable us to bring educational messages to our readers. Look for a list of our premiere advertisers inside. Learn about these valued local businesses and read what they have to say about POP. In this tough economy and changing world of journalism, I have had many people ask, “Why are you still printing?” My answer still remains, mothers and fathers spend long days on their computers for work, they like the idea of putting their child on their lap at night and not their laptops. Readers can pick up and put down POP and read the whole publication in a short period of time or over the month of issue. Readers might read an article in the doctor’s office and know they can go home later to finish it, or refer to it either with their own hard copy, or our online version.
We hope you will continue to support our local advertisers and remember to thank them for keeping our “preschooler” alive and well!
This anniversary issue is packed with wonderful articles. One very noble story is Grandparents Raising Grandchildren. Managing Editor, Tory Hartmann, interviews a few grandmothers who share their heroic stories of how they came to be the fulltime caregiver of their grandkids. Attorney Robert Vale reports on the need for a special will and or trust when grandparents take on the responsibility of their grandchildren and Bob Livingstone looks at the psychological aspects of this unusual child rearing arrangement. Don’t miss Dr. Jason Clark’s article on vaccines. This controversial issue of when to vaccinate and how many vaccines to give a child at a time is something all moms and dads should read.

Back-to-school is the theme of our September issue and what better school to shoot our cover photo than the elementary school my daughters attended, Meadow Heights! Not only did they go there but we lived right next door and I was the neighborhood guard and watering volunteer of the Montessori garden over the summer.
Thank you to Lisa Rosenthal who writes for the San Mateo Office of Education for sharing her articles with POP. The bullying article was submitted by her and next month we will learn all about Anne Campbell, our new Superintendant of Schools. Congratulations to Anne! I have first hand information that she will be terrific in her new role. She was the vice principal of Abbot Middle School when my daughters attended. She is a great asset to our schools.
