Preteen Miss Five Hills Romella Spitzer, a Williams/Ledger Elementary fourth grader, sits beside her sister, Samantha, as they create artwork together. It is one of the activities that help keep Samantha calm. This inspired Spitzer to apply and receive a $1,500 grant from the Fort Hood Area Thrift Shop to assist Copperas Cove ISD in creating sensory classrooms in every elementary school.
“In addition to assisting students with their education and helping them learn life skills so that they can be independent as adults, sensory classroom equipment also helps students who a struggling with their emotions like when their parents are deployed,” Spitzer said. “It allows them to cope and be mentally and emotionally prepared to learn in the classroom and ultimately become productive adults in society.”

Dozens of children across the Copperas Cove, Killeen, Fort Hood and Harker Heights area got down to business selling lemonade and lemon-themed treats as part of Lemonade Day weekend.
There were several stands set up throughout Copperas Cove Saturday and Sunday.
Davira Rios, a first grader at Clements/Parsons Elementary, held her lemonade stand, called Davira’s Lemonade, at her house on Sunday afternoon. This was her third year participating in Lemonade Day, and she was excited to be able to make money selling lemonade. Davira sold lemonade and cherry limeade along with cupcakes and cake pop bites for donations.
