The Communicator - July 27, 2015



It's almost that time again, and we can't wait!  Kids return on August 10, 2015 and we will be ready to greet them with open arms.  Enjoy one family's take on the return to school in the video above.

Calhoun City Schools will welcome its teachers and staff back to an exciting new journey on Monday, August 3, 2015 at the Gem Theatre in downtown Calhoun.  All teachers and staff should plan to attend this kickoff meeting which will begin promptly at 8am.  Certified staff will participate in a bus tour of local industry after the meeting.  Please wear comfortable closed-toe shoes for this day of exploration due to regulations of several of the locations we will visit.  Classified staff will participate in an engaging day of learning following the assembly at the high school.

The grandson of Vince Dooley hasn't let Cerebral Palsy slow him down.
Matthew Dooley is a persistent young man who usually figured out a way to get things done. Despite his wheelchair, the 3rd year student at Athens Tech has conquered skydiving and earned his high school diploma despite the natural obstacles in his path. Matthew shared his story with over 1500 educators and leaders at the opening session of Summer Gael on Sunday evening.  The video below is of his 5th skydiving trip.  Matthew continues to defy the odds and is an inspiration to us all.
