A Message from your PTSO President!
The wait is over! The GCA PTSO Cookbook is ready for purchase.
Our Georgia Cyber Academy teachers, staff, parents, learning coaches, and students contributed recipes for this cookbook. It is a combination of Appetizers, Desserts, Main Dishes, Casseroles, Side Dishes, Dips, and easy to read Conversion Tables. The recipes range from easy to make snacks, to delicious main dishes that we are sure you will enjoy making for your family.
Thank you to everyone who helped with this project.

GCA PTSO Gave Back!!!
When I asked the student, "How did you Give Back to your community?" she responded, "
We volunteer at elderly homes all around Georgia. WE not only help take care of the elders, we help them survive ! What we do is we help clean up their house, help them feel comfortable, help them eat ( including cooking), and of course help them get around and about everywhere. Sometimes we just go shopping for them !"
Congratulations to the PTSO's First Scholrship Recipitent!
Remember to be keeping an eye out. We will be offering one more Full CNA Scholarship before the end of the year.
