The Cobb Alcohol Taskforce has been missing the youth voice in our efforts to curtail underage drinking. We hope that you know of two outstanding youth in your schools, churches, household or community youth organizations that would be interested in serving on the CAT Youth Council. We are planning a Youth Summit on Saturday, March 6th for all the youth to meet, greet, and listen to their voice about underage drinking. Application deadline is January 29th. Click here for the application.

 

Yearbooks are still available to order. Deadline is February 1st. Click here for the order form.

 

Registration will be here before you know it. I just took an Honor Accounting student to the Atlanta Society of CPA’s Honors Luncheon. What an experience! Please ensure your child registers for Accounting prior to college. Also, please ensure your child is registered for Banking & Investing (Finance) before he/she enters the “Real World.” REAL CLASSES FOR REAL LIFE…CAREER TECH! Email me at becky.forbes@cobbk12.org with any questions.
