Good morning, Kissimmee.

The Early Learning Coalition urges families to enroll children who turn 4 on or before Sept.

1 in its free voluntary prekindergarten program to build school readiness. The nonprofit, which runs learning hubs including one at Hart Memorial Library in Kissimmee — a key site for early education — aims to give kids a head start before kindergarten.

Vineland Lakes High School, a new tuition-free alternative charter school in Osceola County, offers accelerated learning with individualized courses, career options, and extra support for non-native English speakers—its program partners with Second Mile to help students catch up and graduate faster while the school prepares to move into a new building in the coming weeks.

After last week’s practice games, eight public high school football teams in Osceola County start their season on Friday night at 7 p.m. Coaches are planning changes and new plays — a fresh start for the season — as teams aim to win.
