As we celebrate Dr. King's 94th birthday, CCSD is pleased to present this video of this year's competition winners showcasing their work and explaining their interpretation of the contest theme, "King's Kindness in Action."

The video premiered Friday morning, Jan. 13, at the annual University of Georgia Martin Luther King Jr. Freedom Breakfast. And congratulations again to this year's contest winners, who will be recognized at the Feb. 9 Board of Education meeting.

CCSD encourages and challenges members of our community to join us in bettering our physical, mental, and emotional well-being in 2023 together!

In a challenge to himself to become more physically fit, Superintendent Dr. Robbie Hooker has committed to running one 5K every month. Will you join him in this challenge?

Here's a great opportunity to get started! Participate in the Joshua Sampson Memorial 5K, which is to honor the memory and legacy of the late Cedar Shoals High teacher who passed away in late 2021.

The race will be held Saturday, Feb. 4, at 8 a.m. at Cedar Shoals, 1300 Cedar Shoals Dr., Athens, with registration beginning at 7 a.m.

Families of CCSD students may be eligible to receive free or discounted internet service under the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), provided by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

The ACP provides a discount of up to $30 per month toward broadband service for eligible households. The benefit also provides up to a $100 per household discount toward a one-time purchase of a computer, laptop, or tablet if the household contributes more than $10 and less than $50 toward the purchase through a participating broadband provider.

All households with a child who was approved to receive free or reduced-price school meals under the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program within the last 12 months, including children who attend schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP), are eligible for ACP benefits.

CCSD is a CEP district; therefore, all families with children enrolled in the current school year are eligible.
