Scenes around CCSD...
- a holiday concert by students in the Stroud Strings after-school orchestra program at Howard B. Stroud Elementary. This is the second school year of the program, which is part of a partnership between CCSD, the University of Georgia’s Community Music School, and local nonprofit AthFest Educates. Read more in this press release from last spring.
- Community Service Day at Alps Road Elementary, where staff, students, and many local businesses and community partners came together to prepare garden beds to start a vegetable garden at the school.
- A College and Career Day Fair at Clarke Central High, where representatives from several colleges, employers, and organizations spoke with students to discuss their options for after high school.
- a "s'mores lab" in Mary Lynn Zimpfer's chemistry class at Cedar Shoals High, where students had fun while studying stoichiometry.
