Fayette County Teachers Now Eligible for COVID Vaccine
Texas teachers are now eligible for the Covid vaccine according to state health officials and Fayette County already has a plan in place to get shots in arms.
“We’ve been working on this for quite some time – we’ve been working with the school districts to identify their teachers who fall in the 1A and 1B categories and have requested vaccines specifically for those teachers. We were notified today that we have enough doses coming to cover all the teachers who want the shot who fall within those categories,” said Craig Moreau, Fayette County chief of emergency management.
Local Snow Birds
During the recent ice storm, wild birds were left out in the cold, literally. They tended to stay closer than normal to homes and residential bird-feeders. Karen Forest of La Grange used the opportunity to capture a number of stunning images of the birds in the snow and was kind enough to share some with us. Photos by Karen Forest
