Congratulations to Charlene Germany, Metro Atlanta Crossing Guard of the Year!
Ms. Germany is the crossing guard for Winnona Park Elementary School and had 10 nominations from the community. She is passionate, friendly, caring and vigilant about making sure the children (and adults) cross safely on the way to and from school. All the children know her name and she loves seeing them every day. We are so proud of her!!

From our friends at Decatur Booster Club:
Do you have an adorable dog who needs his/her 15 minutes of FAME?
We are looking for the dog who will be the face of the race for the 2019 Run with the Dogs 5K.
Contest Rules:
This event benefits Decatur High and Renfroe Middle School athletic teams by providing uniforms and equipment for over 850 athletes. Come out and support the Bulldogs and send us your dog photos and they could be the NEXT face of Run with the Dogs t-shirts!
Come have some fun on Saturday, January 12th. We want you and your adorable dog to come support this event!

Wednesday is International Walk & Roll to School Day so be on the lookout for even more of our city’s schoolchildren walking and biking to school. Slow down and give children (and all pedestrians) the right of way.
In 2017 we had over 2400 children participating in grades pre-k through 8th grade, 60% of the enrollment. This year we expect even more children. If you are a parent, please encourage your child to walk or bike to school.
A special thanks to all of our school champions who encourage children to walk or bike to school. For more information about the program click here.
