IN Chartiers Valley Fall 2017 | Page 6

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Welcome to the fall issue of IN Chartiers Valley magazine .
The end of summer doesn ’ t mean the end of outdoor family fun . From hayrides to spooky attractions , be sure to take advantage of the wide variety of fall festivals and activities in your community . There are dozens of falltastic events to choose from in this issue .
If you ’ re a dog lover , be sure to check out our listing of wag-worthy playgrounds . It ’ s great exercise for your pet and gives him or her a chance to socialize with other furry friends . Dog parks are also great for us — to meet up with neighbors and friends as well as get to know other owners and their dogs .
Also , don ’ t miss our special section titled , “ The Changing Face of Education .” The future looks bright for our students — and not just from the glow of their smartphones . As teachers work to incorporate new methods for teaching , students are adapting to new methods of learning .
Wishing you a fabulous fall !
