This month, as we dread the impending end of summer, it’s time to celebrate some amazing lakeside kids for this year’s back-to-school issue! We are so excited to feature local kids excelling in and out of the classroom, including accomplished athletes, top scholars, burgeoning makeup artists and designers, talented theater students, and impressive recent high school graduates ready for new adventures and more!

Also inside this issue is the latest area school ratings and the most imperative dorm essentials. Read about back-to-school themed home maintenance tips by Nikki Calden REALTOR of Allen Tate, discover the hottest kitchen renovation trends with Sarah Fiel of Home Theory, and learn the ins and outs of pet insurance with Angie Becker of The Becker Agency. And Jana Ritter of Town of Cornelius Parks & Recreation has some exciting updates on all things pickleball and tennis.

We are excited to welcome Xhale Construction Inc, Sublime Home Improvements, Compass College Consultants, Uplift Pelvic Health, LLC and Geekspeoplelike.com to the Lakeside Living family of community sponsors and to have Home Theory add our Mooresville magazine to their marketing mix. Our community sponsors are top-notch, highly-rated and testimonial-rich local businesses.

We hope you enjoy the last bit of summer and the start of the new school year!

Welcome July and Happy Birthday to the USA! We are excited to have The Parkers of the Catarina Bay community to help us celebrate the month. Susanna, Rob, Stevie, Caroline, and Bobby work hard and play hard and are such an asset to our Cornelius community. Thank you for sharing your story with us!

In this month's issue, we share where to catch the July 4th festivities, the rules for our American flag, how to stay safe during summer travel, Disney trip tips, what makes an outstanding college essay and a delicious summer sangria recipe. Our nonprofit spotlight is on Caterpillar Ministries, a Huntersville organization that provides necessary resources and education programs to low income families.

Doug Lampert of Renewal by Andersen of the Carolinas tells us how energy-efficient windows can help us to beat to heat, Nick Vannelle introduces The Carolina Factory's new performance coach, Ronny Hinton, Kim Serydynski of Race City Garage Door helps with how to vet a good garage door company, Martin Conway of Homewatch CareGivers explains elder abuse and offers tips for protecting our senior neighbors, and Harlan Cato of Beltone Hearing Aid Center shares the history of Beltone.

In the dog days of summer, we are always looking for Cornelius pets to showcase in our Pet Pages! Please send any photos of your pets to Caroline Campbell at [email protected]. Also, we are always looking for interesting Cornelius neighbors to showcase in our monthly cover features. If you know residents we should know, send them our way.

For area businesses looking for a positive, community-focused platform to add to your marketing mix, please consider sponsoring our local, positive, family-owned publications. Thank you to all our community business sponsors for helping us to connect and celebrate our community each month. We are excited to welcome Xhale Construction and Sublime Home Improvements to the Lakeside Living family as new community sponsors.

Enjoy the holiday week and stay cool!
