This week's auction spotlight is on
A Week's Stay Like a Local in Washington, DC!
Enjoy the Nation's capital while staying in a beautiful, fully-furnished 2-bedroom apartment in the historic Shaw neighborhood.
Delve into African-American history, cool shopping, and the hip food scene like a local! One of DC’s oldest neighborhoods, Shaw is the site of history-filled businesses, theaters, and rowhouses. The neighborhood is situated east of the U Street Corridor, famously known as “Black Broadway,” thanks to still-in-business spots like the Lincoln and Howard Theatres and many hip-and-hopping coffeehouses, shops, and music venues. Also nearby, the legendary 9:30 Club still hosts rock and alternative acts in a two-level, warehouse space. Shaw is dotted with trendy stores and restaurants and you will be steps away from all of this excitement.

Peer-to-Peer Mental Wellness |
|
GCAPP is excited to partner with our friends at Boosting Bravery (BB) to bring their free girl leadership program to our community. Boosting Bravery is a peer-to-peer program that has high school girls leading middle schoolers in boosting mental wellness skills—skills that GCAPP and many other youth-serving organizations know are so vitally important, now more than ever. Because this program is via Zoom, we are particularly excited that young girls all over Georgia can join as well.
Registration for middle and high school girls to join the free, 8-week spring session is happening now. Learn more about this exceptional opportunity and sign up at Boosting Bravery.
If you have questions, please contact Keri or Dion at GCAPP or Erica at Boosting Bravery.

We Encourage You to Consider Signing Up for FREE Weekly COVID-19 Surveillance Testing |
|
The Department of Student Health Services in collaboration with the Georgia Department of Public Health is excited to bring Surveillance Testing to our district! Surveillance testing is a safe, effective way to limit the spread of COVID -19 and continue to keep schools open for in-person learning. COVID-19 testing is not mandatory and is being offered to protect students, staff, family members, and our community. Weekly school-based and district-wide testing will quickly detect, trace, and isolate COVID-19 positive individuals. The Free Testing Program is available to all students, even if they are fully vaccinated.
|
|
Please IMMEDIATELY call the school at 678-874-6302 if your child tests positive for COVID-19, which will allow the school to initiate its procedures for notifying close contacts. As always, if your child is not feeling well, please keep them at home. DO NOT SEND SICK STUDENTS TO SCHOOL.
Learn more about the District's COVID-19 policies here.
