Walk & Roll starts back
for spring campaign

After a successful launch last spring, Carrollton City Schools once again has joined Tanner Health System and a local Safe Routes to School initiative to promote Walk and Roll, an effort to draw attention to the value of walking and biking to school as alternatives to riding in cars.

With the popular Carrollton Greenbelt routed through Carrollton City Schools, advocates encourage families to start using the trail and sidewalks on campus to get to school in an effort to not only to alleviate traffic, but to encourage physical activity among our students.

This spring's kickoff celebration will be held next Wednesday, March 16, and will feature a variety of activities to jump start the day - and the program - for the rest of the school year.

* Start walking or rolling from the Hay's Mill or
  Target GreenBelt trailheads between 7:15
  and 7:30
* Meet at the celebration tent that will be set up
  between CES and CMS along the Greenbelt
* Be on the lookout for free gifts
* Meet Captain Carrot, Broccoli Boy and 
  Rude-a-bay Girl
* Pick up a Grab N' Go breakfast in the school
  cafeteria before you head to class
* Join students and parents walking daily
  through the end of the school year!

All students or student groups must be accompanied by an adult. Read this brochure to learn more.
8th graders to attend
chamber career expo 

 Carrollton Junior High School eighth graders will have an opportunity to experience an exciting event at the University of West Georgia on Friday, March 18, when they attend a career expo hosted by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce.

Students will hear from professionals representing different career fields such as engineering, nursing/medical, business and cosmetology, among others. Each student will have the opportunity to visit two different career pathways and hear from someone working in the field.

"This is an excellent way to partner with the community and explore different career options for our students," said Dr. Todd Simpson, CJHS principal. "The expo will give our students a better understanding of routes they may want to consider for their future as they transition to high school."

Students will depart from CJHS at 11:10 and return at approximately 2:15. If there are any questions, please contact Mr. Sidel at 770-832-6535.
