Rachel Cummins has been baking from scratch since she was 4 years old. Now, a decade after opening Sweet Lemon Kitchen in downtown Georgetown, she's taking the brand to a new entertainment destination.

The background: Located at 812 S. Church St., Sweet Lemon Kitchen has been a fixture of downtown Georgetown since Cummins converted the historic home into an inn in 2014 and then a breakfast-and-lunch cafe in 2016, she said.

In 2020, Cummins added dinner service, now offered Wednesday through Saturday from 4:30-8:30 p.m., per the restaurant’s website. In 2022, she expanded again with the opening of The Little Lemon at the Library, a grab-and-go cafe inside the Georgetown Public Library.

On the menu: The menu is built around organic ingredients, house-made pastries and locally sourced coffee.

What's next: This summer, a third location is on the way. Cummins is bringing another Little Lemon to The Junction, a 60,000-square-foot entertainment and dining complex under construction at 210 Blue Springs Blvd.

Crews completed work on the west side of Rockride Lane and began working on the east side.

The Texas Education Agency released results June 10 from this year’s State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness end-of-course exams.

The overview: High school students who took the year-end exams this spring made gains in all subjects, TEA data shows. Texas Education Commissioner Mike Morath said students’ academic progress was due to “focused instruction and high expectations” in the classroom.

What you need to know: Individual STAAR results are shared through the state assessment portal. Each Texas student receives a unique access code for their results. Families can find the code on the first page of their child’s report card or contact their school, according to the TEA.

Texas public school students in third through 12th grade take the exam each spring, and it is used to measure student progress and teacher performance.

What's next: The TEA is scheduled to release STAAR scores for third- through eighth-grade students June 16.
