You might have noticed some changes in the SeptemberCapital District Parent Pages, which hit stands earlier this month, starting with the glossy cover, magazine format and full color on every page. We have spent all summer planning this new iteration of your favorite local parenting periodical, and we are so excited to debut it with the start of the new school year a traditional time of change and growth as kids begin adjusting to their new classrooms. Mail your story ideas and pictures to Capital District Parent Pages, P.O. Box 100, Delmar, NY 12054, or e-mail [email protected]. Stay up to date with us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter at @CDParentPages and @Robertsk_cdpp. What hasn’t changed is all the great content we have been providing our readers since 1997, in our print edition and online. Over that time, our look has morphed once or twice as we strived to stay relevant, but we have remained your go-to source for the comprehensive calendar listings and local parenting resources that make your life easier. Plus, you can always count on us for well-researched, thoughtful articles about the events and trends that affect you, the Capital District parent. Our focus remains on keeping our stories and content local. The faces you see on these pages and the people quoted in our stories are part of your community. They are your fellow parents, neighbors, pediatricians, hair stylists, teachers and PTA members. In recent years, we have welcomed a stable of local columnists who write about parenting from a Capital District perspective. The Family Chow reviews local restaurants on the criteria that concern you service, taste and, most importantly when you are dining out with kids, family friendliness. Our Kitchen Table Talk columnist Felicia Bordick covers a broad spectrum of topics, from school testing to appreciating everyday wonders, and as a former educator in Bethlehem schools, she knows what she’s talking about. Jodie Fitz spends her days in constant motion, testing new, kid-friendly recipes to share in her Let’s Cook! column. And our newest columnist, Albany mom Jennifer Steuer, shares the ups and downs of raising preschool-age triplets. We hope you like our new look, and we would love to hear your feedback. Our readers are the reason for our success, and for that, we thank you.
