DeKalb Schools enters redistricting process DUNWOODY, Ga. — The DeKalb County School District has begun the process of redistricting for its elementary schools. For schools in the Dunwoody cluster — Austin, Chesnut, Dunwoody, Hightower Kingsley and Vanderlyn — three public meetings have been scheduled. The first meeting, Sept. 26, was for an introduction and preliminary feedback. The next meeting will be Wednesday, Oct. 23, for a presentation of alternative options, and the final meeting will be Wednesday, Nov. 20, for a presentation of the staff recommended plan. Both meetings will be at the Dunwoody High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. The redistricting plan is expected to go before the School Board for a first read in January 2020 and for approval in February. Redistricting has come about with
the anticipated opening of the new Austin Elementary School in January 2020. The school will have 950 seats, 450 more than the current school which has 500 seats, but 711 students enrolled. The approved plan would go into effect August 2020. Rising 5th graders would have the option to continue at their school, but no transportation would be provided by the school district. The official criteria for school districts are primarily geographic proximity, instructional capacity and projected enrollment. When the primary criteria indicate more than one option, the secondary criteria are safety and traffic patterns, previous redistricting, intact neighborhoods, special programs, condition of facility, school feeder alignment and efficient and economical operations.

DeKalb citizens group mounts opposition to ethics board change By CARSON COOK carson@appenmediagroup.com DEKALB COUNTY, Ga. — When DeKalb voters head to the polls this year, they will see a referendum that states “Shall the Act be approved which revises the Board of Ethics for DeKalb County?” That opaque wording could lead voters to adopt an oversight plan that the DeKalb Citizens Advocacy Council and some county officials say will gut the county’s ethics policy. “This bill is clearly meant to weaken and dilute the excellent policy passed in 2015, without any convincing reasons
to weaken the bill,” stated Paul Root, director of the Emory Center of Ethics. “DeKalb is slipping back to a former posture that got it in trouble in the first place. I would agree that this bill should be strongly opposed.” If passed, the Board of Ethics’ independence would be weakened, critics say, by replacing the ethics officer with an ethics administrator, essentially a clerical position with no required experience in law or ethics work. In 2015, 92 percent of voters established a new ethics board to oversee county operations. Last year, parts of that law were ruled unconstitutional by
the state Supreme Court because some of its members were selected by private organizations, such as the bar association or universities, rather than by elected officials. Since that decision, the board has been unable to operate. Earlier this year, state Sen. Emanuel Jones introduced a bill that established new rules for selecting ethics board members, but rather than simply fixing the problem caused by the court decision, there were additional changes. By changing the ethics officer to an ethics administrator, the position would no longer be able to initiate or bring an
investigation to the Board of Ethics. The law would also make the Board of Ethics less independent from the county CEO and the County Commission, positions it is supposed to oversee. The CEO would be able to make an appointment to the ethics board, and the CEO and commissioners would have to approve the ethics board’s policy. “To us, this is an inherent conflict of interest,” said Mary Hinkel, chair of the DeKalb Citizens Advocacy Council. “These provisions weaken the independence of the board. They create an op-

Scout troop to host Haunted Farm Tour Dunwoody Rotary to host trafficking education event Boy Scout Troop 477 will host its annual Haunted Farm Tour Saturday, Oct. 26, at the historical DonaldsonBannister Farm house and the enchanted exterior gardens. The seasonal event provides visitors a chance to engage in a treasure hunt through the building and help stranded pirates find pieces to rebuild their marooned ship.

Included in the program are both a private showing of the movie “8 Days” and a candid discussion with federal, state and local law enforcement.

Showcase Saturday provides opportunities for pet lovers Did you make it to the grand opening of Lifeline’s new Community Animal Center on Oct. 5? If not, Showcase Saturday, Oct. 19, is another opportunity to tour the facility and, even better, meet adoptKATHY able dogs — very MANOS PENN adoptable dogs. This event will feature the very best of Lifeline’s foster dogs. These dogs have lived in foster homes long enough to reveal their true temperaments. They’ve shown they love all humans and dogs. Many live in homes with children and cats and get along with them, too. All are house- and crate-trained, and many also know basic obedience commands, even leash-walking skills. You can meet these dogs at Showcase Saturday and also speak with their foster parents. It’s a wonderful opportunity to save a life and choose a dog that’s the right fit for you. Fifteen of these Ready to Adopt (RTA) dogs will be on hand to win your hearts. The RTA dogs can’t usually be seen at Lifeline because they’re in foster homes. In fact, over 400 dogs are fostered all over Atlanta at any given time. In addition to the RTA dogs, you’ll also find dogs with blue ribbons on their cages. These dogs haven’t been in foster care but have gone out in the community on temporary “assignment.” They’ve either participated in Dog for the Day (DFTD) or Weekend Warrior (WW) adventures with members of the community. This means the volunteers know lots about these dogs — their temperaments, social skills and training. There will be signs on the doggie doors detailing their outstanding qualities and volunteers available to answer your questions. Space is always at a premium at shelters. If a stray is found in Dekalb or Fulton County or a pet owner living in either county brings in an animal, Lifeline must accept them. They take in an average

of 40 dogs per day, and yet their average monthly “ save” rates are 89-92 percent. Before Lifeline took over the county shelters, the euthanasia rate was extremely high. One way the organization is able to save so many animals is by finding fosters. Think of it this way, when you adopt a shelter dog, you not only save that dog, you also make room for another. The new facility at 3180 Presidential Drive has room for 100 dogs and also includes an area called The Villages, a place for older dogs who need a quieter atmosphere. Nineteen 5x7 individual rooms are available for any dog needing a “space of its own” plus several bonding rooms where dogs and people can get to know one another. And let’s not forget the cats. There are 200 cat palaces for adoptable felines and large cat playrooms. Cats too have bonding rooms, and the cat area has large glass windows so the cats can see the great outdoors. One side of the new building is a clinic open to pet owners in metro Atlanta. Space includes multiple surgery rooms, examining rooms, and isolation rooms with special ventilation. Three full-time vets will be available. Their services include vaccinations, spaying and neutering, and dental procedures, all at significantly reduced prices. Volunteers will be on hand on Oct. 19 to help you get acquainted with the Showcase and Blue Ribbon dogs and all the other fur babies. Are you ready for a new four-legged friend or do you know someone who is? Spread the word and let’s make Showcase Saturday a huge success. Wouldn’t it be marvelous if all the RTA dogs found a forever home that day? Kathy is a Sandy Springs resident.

Donald E. Harper, 83, died Monday, October 7, 2019, after a long illness. Don was born on the family farm in Carrollton, Missouri, on December 4, 1935, to Porter and Alma Harper. He was the valedictorian HARPER of his high school class and was a graduate of the University of Missouri. After graduation, he went to work for Union Carbide / Energizer Batteries in Milwaukee, where he met and married Nancy Borowski. After moving to Connecticut, their two daughters were born. In 1973, Don was transferred to Georgia and happily raised the family in the Dunwoody community. Don was an avid buyer and seller of John Deere tractors and Ford Mustangs. He truly enjoyed “wheeling and dealing” with the great people he met at car shows and auctions. Don still owned the family farm in Missouri which he continued to
operate until recent years. He went there as often as he could - he liked living in Georgia, but his heart was in Missouri. He loved politics and spent many afternoons having conversations with the Fox News commentators. Don and Nancy are long-time members of Kingswood United Methodist Church. Don was preceded in death by his parents, his daughter, Sheri Harper Champlin, and his sister, JoAnn Taylor. He is survived by his loving wife of 53 years, Nancy; his daughter, Joelle; two grandsons, Forrest and Ansel Champlin; his brother, Jerry; and numerous nieces and nephews. His Celebration of Life Service will be held at Kingswood United Methodist Church in Dunwoody on Saturday, October 12th, at 3 p.m. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be sent to the ALS Association, Kingswood United Methodist Church (4896 N. Peachtree Rd; Dunwoody, GA 30338), or McCroskie Creek Baptist Church (17350 CR 256, Carrollton, Missouri 64633).
William Christopher “Chris” Holland of Dunwoody, GA passed away on October 8, 2019 at Mt. Sinai Hospital in New York City. A service to celebrate Chris’ life was held Monday, October 14, 2019 at Crowell Brothers Funeral Home Peachtree Chapel in Peachtree Corners. Chris was born January 28, 1971 in Raleigh, NC to William and Janet (Harris) Holland. The family moved to Dunwoody, GA in 1985, where Chris remained. For the past 34 years Chris has been an integral part of the community where he grew up, married, raised his children and owned a successful landscaping business. He was a fan of the classics: cars, music and movies. Chris was a devoted husband, friend, son and brother. The role of father, however, was his greatest joy. On any given day Chris could be found on the sidelines of a soccer field supporting his girls. While his physical presence will be missed every day, we
know that Chris will always be cheering the loudest. Chris is survived by his wife of 19 years, Jennifer (Streeter) Holland and their two 15-year-old daughters, Sarah and Ella Holland. He is also survived by his parents Janet and Bill Holland of Pendergrass, GA, grandfather, Emmett Harris of Chatham, VA, brother, Jon Holland (and wife Adrienne) of Suwanee, GA, and sister, Allison Holland of Duluth, GA.

OBITUARIES Richard Jennings Drake, 89, of Dunwoody, Georgia, passed away at his home Thursday, September 19, 2019. Mr. Drake was born in Chicago, Illinois on January, 2 1930. His family moved to Downers DRAKE Grove, Illinois in 1932 where he developed lifelong friendships, attended Downers Grove High School, lettered in football, attained the rank of Eagle Scout and Order of the Arrow, was a member of the DeMolay fraternal organization, and performed in various school drama productions. Prior to his Senior year, he joined the United States Navy and was stationed on the USS Waldron, in New Orleans. After this brief service, he graduated from high school and attended Utah State University, joined Sigma Phi Epsilon Fraternity and pursued a degree in Civil Engineering. He responded to the call for service and joined the ROTC of the burgeoning Army Air Corps. He graduated in 1952 with a Bachelor of Science degree and the rank of 2nd Lieutenant. He married his longtime girlfriend whom he met his freshman year in high school, Marie Kathryn Pierobon on February 10, 1953, in the chapel at Hamilton Air Force Base in San Rafael California. One of Richard’s early duties was working on the development of the Distant Early Warning (DEW Line) radar stations in the far northern Artic regions of Canada. He continued his commitment to service for his country throughout his life with active duty assignments during the Korean War and Cuban Missile Crisis. Richard continued to serve his country with honor over the course of the next 30 years and obtained the rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the United States Air Force. Richard and Marie settled in Prairie Village, Kansas. His first civilian employment was with Howard, Needles, Tammen & Bergendoff Civil Engineering firm in Kansas City Missouri. They moved to Reno, Nevada before returning to San Rafael, California where he started an extensive career with DeLeuw Cather & Co. In 1965 the company transferred Richard and his family to Adelaide, South Australia where he was part of a team that completed the study of their transportation system. After extensive travel through the orient, the family returned to the U.S. and ultimately settled in Dover, Massachusetts. Richard continued to be active in the community and spent many years enjoying friends, family, summers on Cape Cod and skiing during the winter months in New England. He also purchased
his first Model A Ford while in Dover and became a member of the Model A Club of America. In Atlanta he joined the Gold Mine Region Chapter as well as the Georgia Model A Restorers Club where he enjoyed many years of camaraderie. In 1973 he was transferred to Atlanta where he ultimately worked as a Project Manager for MARTA. Upon his retirement from MARTA he consulted for the Georgia DOT. He was a vital member of the growing Dunwoody community. He played tennis socially as well as competitively with ALTA. He and Marie were driving forces in the inception and creation of Dunwoody Stage Door Players. The family joined the Dunwoody Country Club in 1987, he continued to play in ALTA and became an avid golfer. Marie and Richard filled their retirement with extensive travel through Europe, visits to family and high school reunions. Richard was an integral member of the Founding Committee for the Incorporation of the City of Dunwoody where his insight and professional consultation services contributed to the efforts of the committee. After years of dedication and countless volunteer hours, he helped guide the resolution for the incorporation of the City of Dunwoody in 2008. Richard was a determined, pragmatic, and intellectual man with a clever wit and a quick sense of humor. He was always willing to offer a helping hand, guide a decision, or suggest solutions and never shied away from a compelling argument. He held in high regard the unique Drake family heritage and maintained his connection to the homestead that was settled in the mid 1700’s in western Pennsylvania.

PAST TENSE
Manget Davis: Memories of Georgia Tech and Dunwoody In May of this year, I wrote about Elizabeth Davis, long-time principal of Dunwoody School and co-author of “The Story of Dunwoody,” along with Ethel Spruill. Elizabeth and Manget VALERIE Davis lived at 5300 BIGGERSTAFF Chamblee Dunwoody Road, just across the street from Dunwoody School where the Spruill Center for the Arts and Dunwoody Library are located now. Manget Way, which runs off Chamblee Dunwoody Road, was named for Manget Davis. You may recall a new street sign was installed in 2016 which read Magnet Way. It wasn’t long before people spoke up and the sign once again read Manget Way. Born in 1902, Davis attended Hearn Academy in Cave Spring, Ga., and then went to college at Georgia Tech. Davis’ high school principal recommended him so highly, he didn’t have to take the entrance exams required by Tech at the time. Davis took the train from Rome to Atlanta to attend Georgia Tech. At first, he lived in a boarding house on Peachtree Street and later moved into a dormitory. He graduated in 1923 with a textile engineering degree. His memories of attending Georgia Tech and of Atlanta were recorded for the Georgia Tech Living History Project in 1994. (history.library. gatech.edu/items/show/3646) Manget and Elizabeth Davis met when they were set up on a blind date. She was a student at Agnes Scott College. Manget took the trolley from Georgia Tech to her home on Church Street when they were dating. For a while, he had a Model A car on campus, but most of the time he walked or took the trolley to get around. Elizabeth and Manget married and lived in Decatur. Then, after several drives to the country, they decided to
move to Dunwoody in 1936. They ran into Calhoun Spruill one day, who happened to be selling his home and land on Chamblee Dunwoody Road. Davis was an entrepreneur, starting a few businesses before working as a photographer at Davison’s for 20 years. He did all of Davison’s advertising photography at that time. In later years, he worked every election in Dunwoody as a poll worker. Elizabeth recruited him to join her as she was already a poll worker. After she passed away, he continued to work at every election. The Nov. 3, 1988 edition of the Dunwoody Crier included an article about Davis and other poll workers. Manget Davis, age 86, was proud of the work, saying “I just think it’s an important part of our government.” Corinne Davis, granddaughter of Manget and Elizabeth Davis, was kind enough to contact me and share some family history. Manget and Elizabeth had three sons; Manget Jr., Malcolm, and James. Unfortunately, James died in a car accident at the age of 14. Corinne’s parents are Manget Jr. and Annie Laurie Floyd Davis. Annie Laurie lived across Chamblee Dunwoody Road at the corner of Womack Road with her parents Arva and Ida Floyd. Manget Jr. joined the Navy, serving during both World War II and the Korean War. Elizabeth and Manget’s son Malcolm also served in the Navy. Elizabeth and Manget Davis remained in Dunwoody the rest of their lives. Arva and Ida Floyd moved to the Morningside neighborhood of Atlanta in the early 1950s. Corinne has fond memories of visiting her grandparents in Dunwoody. She recalls picking blackberries on the dirt road across the way, today’s Womack Road. Her grandparents had chickens and a cow. She also recalls that the Davis and Floyd families were very active in the Dunwoody Methodist Church, especially in fundraising and building of the chapel.

OPINION
The junior/senior challenge
A recent Wall Street Journal article, “The New Rules of Money,” focused on recent graduates dealing with a triple whammy — substantial college obligations Lewis J. Walker, CFP loan driven ever higher by rising tuitions and fees at 4-year colleges; the soaring costs of homes; plus, stagnant incomes. Anyone who has lived beyond their scheduled expiration date (a.k.a., life expectancy at birth) may look at the emphasis on “new rules” and point out that it’s a fact of life that as soon as you learn the game, someone changes the rules. Old timers who eschew a trophy for everyone may be tempted to mutter, “Buck up, buttercup!” That’s probably not constructive and doesn’t qualify as direction or advice. As fall gets underway, the focus for many parents of juniors and seniors in high school turns to a whirlwind of activities centered around sports, lessons of one type or another, transportation issues, and for many, college or vocational
decisions. After high school, what’s next? College juniors and seniors face similar determinations. What’s next? Graduate school, start a career, marry your sweetheart or move on, military service? College, especially a 4-year institution where one is away from home, is a bubble. Yes, life outside of the bubble can be hard. It may not be fair, especially given emerging views as to what’s “fair.” The Journal focused on financial hardships, problems, dilemmas (i.e., challenges) facing graduates and those early in careers. Here’s the rub. Redefine a challenge as an opportunity. If anything is too easy, rewards are skimpy. Albert Einstein advised, “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.” You do have to perform better than others to shine and move ahead above any average, including position, benefits, and pay. But constantly shifting rules are a reality that benefit the astute, the flexible, the nimble, the confident. Recognize that our country goes through cycles of constant change. Political and economic cycles, bouts of creative destruction driven by technology and global competition, with a short-term focus of
distraction and confusion driven by 24/7 “breaking news” alerts. There’s an art to getting away to think and strategize, to discerning patterns and trends, to seeing opportunity and devising an action plan. In the 1970s, America experienced a severe inflationary cycle. Inflation and interest rates kept climbing, with the prime lending rate peaking at 21.5 percent in 1980 . First-time homebuyers felt lucky to get a 30-year mortgage below 13 percent annually. In 1980, the Federal Reserve Bank restricted the money supply to “break the back of inflation,” triggering a nasty recession with massive layoffs and a tanking stock market. Yet many of the successful people of today who graduated from high school or college in the late 1970s or early ’80s saw opportunity, recognizing that every problem has a potential brass ring on the other side of the door. Finding the door and knowing what to do when you walk through it, is the challenge. Juniors, seniors and parents, plan carefully, grounded in well-researched reality. What will college, graduate school, or trade school equip you to do? Equip you to earn a living? How does that mesh with your internal MO, your God-given strengths and talents, the things that “light your fire?” If you borrow money, how does debt repayment mesh with the salary or other compensation you can expect net of taxes and other payroll deductions, and the cost of living where you want to live?
A 2017 LendEDU survey showed that over half of surveyed college undergraduates expected starting salaries in the $50$60,000 range. Data from Korn Ferry’s Hay group indicated that starting salaries for 25 jobs for 2018 graduates would average $50,390. That’s an average, with many jobs paying less, some more, with substantial differences based on location (Atlanta vs. high cost San Francisco, for example). Reframe every problem as a challenge. For every challenge, what’s the best alternative to deal with the challenge? What resources are available to power the selected alternative? Financial capital and human capital may be involved. Lastly, given the challenge, deemed best alternative, and available resources, what should you expect as an outcome? What do you want to experience? Are your expectations based on informed reality? Hope is not a strategy. Procrastination is a decision, but not optimal. To parents and students, classes of 2020 and 2021, time is short. Due diligence and life and financial planning should start now! Lewis Walker, CFP®, is a financial life planning strategist at Capital Insight Group; 770-441-3553;lewis@lewwalker. com.

HOLY INNOCENTS’ 40, STRONG ROCK 0
Golden Bears move to 7-0 with win over Strong Rock
By DUNN NEUGEBAUER For The Crier LOCUST GROVE, Ga. — It took Holy Innocents’ roughly 87 seconds to find the Strong Rock end zone Friday night. And they kept on finding it, as the Bears rolled to a 40-0 win over the Patriots on the road. With the victory, HI remained perfect at 7-0 going into its bye week. They will face No. 6-ranked Trinity Christian Oct. 25 at Riverwood. It was Bears running back Michael Cox who took care of the first four-play, 58-yard drive — and he did it in four carries. Gaining nine, 12, and 13 yards, he ended the quick march with a 20yard TD to put HI up 7-0. After a Patriot punt, Cox this time covered all 70 yards, gaining nine yards before taking it 61 yards to the house to make it 14-0. A third HI drive stalled on the Strong Rock 1, but two plays into the Patriot possession, the Bears tackled the home team in the end zone on a sweep right to make it 16-0, a score that held after a quarter.
Jett Ferry Road @ The Williamsburg Shopping Center
Coach Todd Winter’s bunch tacked on 17 more points in the next 12 minutes, starting with a 66-yard drive that ended with a Matt Davis to Landon Kardian 28-yard touchdown pass. After another Strong Rock punt, HI moved it 46 yards, ending again with a Cox score, this time from 20 yards out to make it 30-0. HI would add three more before half as kicker Peter Wandtke — perfect on extra points for the year — made it 2-for3 on field goals for the season as he connected on a 30-yarder as time expired. The entire second half was running clock. On the Bears’ first possession, Marshall Nichols, inserted for the resting Davis, had a 20-yard run before Joe Hingson finished the two-play march with a 25-yard touchdown on an offtackle run to end the scoring. Besides efficiently running the offense for two-plus quarters, Nichols also punted the Patriots down to the 10 and the 7 — one of his boots good for nearly 60 yards. Sam Aiken was the leading tackler, with William Willis also coming up big. HI also had a second-half interception, coming from freshman Drew Bomar.

Alpharetta blanks North Atlanta to go 4-0 in region By JOE PARKER joe@appenmediagroup.com Class 6A Alpharetta 28, North Atlanta 0 Alpharetta retained its seat atop the Region 7-AAAAAA standings Friday night with a shutout win over North Atlanta. The win puts the Raiders at 4-0 in region play. Will Gerdes put the Raiders on top in the first quarter with a touchdown pass. Gerdes and CJ Dobard connected for a score in the second quarter before Alpahretta’s Kristopher Thomas hauled in his third interception in two games. That pick set up another Raiders’ touchdown to give them a 21-0 lead at the half. Gerdes and Dobard connected for a second score in the fourth quarter while the Raiders defense continued to stymie the Warriors. Alpharetta’s shut out was their second straight after downing Centennial 48-0 on Oct. 4. Alpharetta (4-2, 4-0) goes on the road Friday to take on Chattahoochee. Class 4A Blessed Trinity 20, Denmark 19 Blessed Trinity prevailed in a thrilling matchup of two top-10 ranked teams
Friday night, downing their Region 7-AAAA foes Denmark, 20-19. After a defensive slugfest in the opening three quarters, Blessed Trinity’s Justice Haynes reeled off a 66-yard touchdown rush on the first play of the fourth to put BT ahead, 14-6. Denmark responded with a touchdown on their ensuing drive, a 10-yard run from quarterback Aaron McLaughlin, but the Danes failed to convert the two-point play to keep the score at 14-12 midway through the final period. The Danes moved the ball in short spurts on the next drive before McLaughlin connected with Ze’Vian Capers for a 24-yard, go-ahead touchdown with four minutes remaining. Though BT did not have much rushing success early in the contest, they had worn down Denmark’s defense and used their rushing attack heavily to try and reclaim the lead. Elijah Green and Haynes shared carries throughout the 10-play, 80-yard drive, but it was a touchdown pass from Duncan Reavis to tight end James Bryant that put BT back in the lead with 35 seconds left. Denmark did not fold, however, and after chipping away on the sidelines, Capers
Ever Walked in Someone Else's Shoes?
hauled in a 37-yard reception into BT territory. After a spike, one second remained with the ball on the Titans’ 30-yard line. Denmark kicker Parker Hannon lined up for the game-winning kick, but it never got past BT’s rush, which blocked the attempt to secure the Titans’ dramatic win. Both teams face another test Friday. Blessed Trinity (5-1, 2-0) faces ranked Flowery Branch while Denmark (5-1, 2-1) hosts Class 4A’s top-ranked team, Marist. Class A-Private Fellowship Christian 48, St. Francis 21 Fellowship Christian kept its unbeaten streak alive Friday in a matchup of Region 6-A teams, downing St. Francis, 48-21, on the road. Fellowship has won its last 12 Region 6-A subregion B contests. The game was tied 7-7 entering the second quarter before Fellowship found separation with rushing scores from Murphy Reeves, Jayven Hall and quarterback Eli Hildebrandt. Reeves earned his third and fourth rushing scores in the second half to keep St. Francis well behind. Reeves extended Fellowship’s lead to 35-14 early in the fourth and added insurance with another touchdown with five minutes remaining.
St. Francis quarterback Josh Gil had three touchdown passes in the Knights’ loss. The Paladins (6-0, 4-0) are on the road again Friday to take on King’s Ridge. St. Francis (3-3, 2-2) continues its three-game homestand to take on Pinecrest Academy. Mount Pisgah 28, Pinecrest Academy 21 (2OT) Mount Pisgah captured its second region win of the year Friday night with an overtime win over winless Pinecrest Academy in Johns Creek. Pinecrest fell to 0-6 overall with the loss. With the game tied 14-14, Pinecrest lined up for a 49-yard field goal with four seconds left, but the kick was missed to send the contest into overtime. The Paladins struck first and their defense forced the Patriots into a fourthdown situation. With the game on the line, Tyler Hunnicut scored to push the contest into another overtime period. On offense to start the second overtime, Mount Pisgah’s Coleman Smith connected with Tristan Freyre for a touchdown to force Pinecrest to score on its ensuing possession. However, the Patriots’ Makael Carter intercepted a Paladin pass to end the thrilling contest.

Cornerstone Christian Academy MJCCA Preschools Nestled in beautiful Peachtree Corners, Cornerstone Christian Academy (K-8) is the perfect combination of rigor and love.At Cornerstone, there is an evident bridge between writing and reading, with a focus on reading strategies that develop a mastery of decoding and comprehension skills. By using a systematic approach to phonics, students develop word knowledge which moves them toward conventional spelling. Writing specialists enrich the curriculum by teaching the craft of writing and then help students move to more technical writing in all subject areas. Analytically, Cornerstone students love STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math), thinking outside the box and using their God-given talents to solve real world problems. Biblical worldview integration throughout the curriculum connects a Biblical framework to all aspects of life that leads to understanding and wisdom.
Cornerstone’s approach is holistic and includes applicable technology instruction, competitive sports programs and multiple fine arts opportunities. Grade levels intentionally serve in our communities and experience all that is offered through a wide range of field trips. Weekly Chapel services and Bible studies are favorite times of the week for students and faculty alike. Weekday tours and weekend Open Houses are held during the school year. Parents are encouraged to register for these events to discover what makes Cornerstone so unique. For more information, call (770) 4419222 or visit online at www.cornerstonecougars.org.

Marist School Since 1901, has sustained a legacy of excellence in all aspects of Catholic secondary education from academics to spiritual growth, compassionate leadership, and service to others. Marist School is an independent, Roman Catholic, college-preparatory day school enrolling approximately 1,100 boys and girls in grades seven through twelve. Owned and operated by the Society of Mary (more commonly known as the Marists), Marist School was founded in downtown Atlanta in 1901 and moved to its current site on Ashford Dunwoody Road in 1962. The mission of Marist School is to form the whole person in the image of Christ through instruction grounded in religious values, the teachings of the Catholic Church, and the spirit of the Society of Mary. The mission is advanced through communal pursuit of excellence in academic, religious, extracurricular, leadership, and service programs. The distinctive Marist spirit and values are at the center of everything, ensuring Marist graduates develop the strength of character and skills they need to make a difference in today’s complex world. Marist School’s dynamic curriculum is experiential and interdisciplinary, balancing leading-edge innovation in pedagogy and technology with a comprehensive course of study that engages students with the spirituality and heritage of a Catholic education. Beyond academics, students have opportunities to explore their interests and passions through athletic and arts programs, campus ministry offerings, and many other extracurricular activities. More than 98% of Marist students participate in at least one extracur-
ricular activity. Marist students learn to be faith-filled servant leaders by providing at least 40 hours of direct service to others before graduation and learning to dialogue with those different from themselves.
The Marist experience is rich, comprehensive, and balanced; it culminates with graduates who have integrity, a sense of purpose, and a knowledge of who they are and what they are called to do.

example, parents can encourage children to channel their inner engineer through a boat race activity. Have children use a variety of recyclables— cork, foil, tape, craft sticks, straw, an old swim noodle and paper for a sail—to build a boat that can sail across the bathtub, a pan of water or a puddle. After creating the boat, have children blow “wind” toward the boat to see how fast their creation travels. Parents and children can host races between multiple boats and discuss which boat is faster and why. Young children grasp concepts through exploration and trial and error, so they should learn STEAM concepts at their own pace and in ways that are natural to them. To ensure that children are learning at their own pace, Primrose offers a balance of play with guidance from teachers and repeats STEAM lessons so children can master skills as they are ready.

Endeavor Montessori, opening in Dunwoody, GA, will be enrolling children ages 6 weeks-5 years for Fall 2019. Endeavor Montessori’s curriculum is distilled from the experiences and knowledge of esteemed Montessori certified teachers and leaders.

Endeavor Montessori offers a learning environment where children are exposed to appropriate levels of technology, integrated seamlessly into an enhanced Montessori curriculum. This approach, along with a Science, Technology, Engineering, the Arts and Math (STEAM) program, addresses the demands placed by modern education, while also strengthening children’s innate desire to seek knowledge on their own and find the answers to their own questions. To learn more about our curriculum, and for Fall enrollment for children ages 6 weeks-5 years, call (770)-637-1242 or visit our website at endeavormontessori.com.
Opening Fall 2019, Endeavor Montessori offers a modernized and holistic educational approach designed for infants through middle school. Endeavor Montessori students will benefit from: • Distilled Montessori curriculum based on the experiences and knowledge of esteemed Montessori leaders and educators across the country • Lessons in leadership that create action-oriented individuals able to overcome daily challenges • STEAM topics and global languages integrated into a balanced curriculum • A community-based approach to learning that drives strong bonds between staff and families • Montessori-certified teachers who are passionate about the growth of each child • Beautiful outdoor learning spaces and purposeful play areas
