By Pat Trevino | 9/24/2026

The Little Gobblers Football League began their morning in a powerful way this week, gathering players and cheerleaders around the flagpole for See You at the Pole 2026, a moment filled with prayer, unity, and team spirit.

Sponsored and organized by the Little Gobblers Football League, the event brought the young athletes together before school to read Scripture, sing, and pray aloud. Coaches said the children prayed with conviction and sincerity, lifting up their schools, teachers, classmates, teammates, friends, and families. The sound of their voices joined together in prayer created a moving scene that reflected both their faith and their bond as a team.

League leaders emphasized how meaningful it was to see the players and cheerleaders stand side‑by‑side, supporting one another not just on the field but in their spiritual lives as well. They described the gathering as a reminder that teamwork extends beyond football — it includes character, courage, and shared values.

Parents and volunteers who attended said the moment showcased the heart of the Little Gobblers program: building young athletes who are confident, grounded, and willing to lead with faith. The children closed their gathering with a resounding “Amen and AMEN,” marking the start of the day with gratitude and strength.

For the Little Gobblers, See You at the Pole wasn’t just a prayer event — it was a celebration of unity, purpose, and the team’s commitment to lifting one another up.

Yorktown Public Library to Host Autumn‑Themed Toddler Time Event

By Pat Trevino | 9/21/2026

The Yorktown Public Library is preparing to welcome local families for a special autumn‑themed edition of its popular Toddler Time program. The event, scheduled for Tuesday, September 22 at 9 a.m., is designed to give young children a warm and engaging start to the fall season through stories, music, and hands‑on creativity.

Library staff say the morning will center on early‑childhood learning and social development, offering toddlers a chance to explore new sounds, textures, and movements in a friendly setting. Children will hear seasonal stories, including the picture book Millie‑Mae in Autumn, which introduces little readers to the colors and feelings of fall. After storytime, participants will move into a craft activity where they can stamp and build their own bright, circular‑ring autumn tree on paper, a project created specifically for small hands and developing motor skills.

The Friends of the Yorktown Public Library are sponsoring the event as part of their ongoing support for early‑literacy programming. Library staff say they hope the autumn gathering will bring families together, introduce new visitors to the library, and continue building a welcoming space for Yorktown’s youngest learners.

Toddler Time will take place inside the Yorktown Public Library. Families interested in attending may simply arrive at the scheduled time; no registration is required.
