Quinlan Restaurant to host Potluck Dinner and Auction Fundraiser

 


    Mama's Family Café in Quinlan will be hosting a potluck dinner and auction August 21. The dinner starts at 4 p.m., with the auction starting at 5 p.m. The event will benefit the "Hearts for Amanda" fundraiser. The café invites people to bring their own side dishes and desserts. The event will also feature live music and the restaurant recommends that people bring their own lawn chairs.

    "Hearts for Amanda" is a fundraiser dedicated to Amanda Stringer, a Quinlan resident who is battling Stage IV endometrial cancer. Stringer's mother, Tammy White, says that Stringer does not have much time left. "The doctor's prognosis is that she has six months to one year left," White said. White also says that the fundraiser will help boost Stringer's morale and help them with trips to Parkland Memorial Hospital for doctor visits.

    If unable to attend the event, Mama's Family Café is still accepting donations for the fundraiser. The café invites the residents of Quinlan to come together as a community and celebrate Stringer. Contact Hearts for Amanda for more information about the event.

      The Quinlan Independent School District announced new, adjusted school hours for the 2021-22 school year July 16. Each school will open their doors at 7:15 every morning Monday through Thursday, as Quinlan ISD is a four days a week school district.     Cannon Elementary School, Butler Intermediate School, and Thompson Middle School hours will be 7:40 a.m. to 4 p.m., while Ford High School hours will be 7:40 a.m. to 4:05 p.m. PK3 Students will have two separate time intervals: the first running from 7:40 to 11:40 a.m. and the second running from 12 to 4 p.m. While these hours seem longer, they are the same amount of hours each student has to be in school during a week.      While some parents seem to like the idea of four days a week school, some have been critical of the long hours. Marissa Graves, who has a child enrolled at Cannon Elementary, has been open about her concern. "7:40 a.m. to 4 p.m. seems to make for such a long day," Gra...
