Congratulations to 8th graders Brandon "D.J" Brown and Joey Blount. These two young men were recently invited to play in the 2013 Junior Academic All-American Game on January 4 at The Home Depot Center in Carson, CA. Brandon and Joey will showcase their football talents along with the very top junior high school student athletes from across the country.  This honor is distinctive as no other youth game in the country has an academic and character related requirement for an All-American selection.   

  
General Info:
 
There are several openings for private piano school lessons at the Fairburn campus. Students do not have to be in the after school program to take lessons.  For more information,  email After School Care Director Connie Cates at ccates@landmark-cs.org

A swim team parent meeting is scheduled for next Wednesday, October 31st at 4:45 pm after "dry practice" at the Fairburn campus.  The meeting will take place on the steps in front of the weight room.  All swimmers need at least one parent to attend including those parents of students who are currently finishing another sport. It is important that the coaches get a final count of swimmers so they will know how many will be on the team this year.  The coaches also need complete contact information for all swimmers for the purposes of communication throughout the swim season.  Parents unable to attend the meeting should contact Coach Torrenga (770-313-7743) or Coach Thompson (678-633-0953).     

Additionally, the swim team is changing its practice location.  Effective Monday, October 29, swim practice will take place at the World's Gym in Peachtree City on Hwy. 54. Practice will go until 5:00 pm and the bus will depart the gym at 5:15 to return to Fairburn. Parents should plan pick-up accordingly.
