Tolton girls soccer piled it on early against Jefferson City in its regular-season opener en route to a 4-0 victory. All four goals came in the opening half. The Trailblazers (1-0) started hot, with an Emma Mallet goal four minutes into the match, which was moved from Tolton to Jefferson City and its turf field because of the inclement weather. After a lull in scoring, the final 12 minutes of the first half featured three Tolton goals — two of which came in the last three minutes.

When April Ferrao made the decision to run for the Columbia School Board, she had to quit her job at the city-county health department, one of her favorite jobs ever. City ordinances state that employees must take a leave of absence if they run for public office and resign immediately if they are elected. This reality put Ferrao, who had worked for the city for just about a year, in a difficult spot. She initially took a leave, but it expired Monday, she said.

Ferrao looks to bring years of CPS experience to School Board
