Break 1: 07.14.22 KIA MOG 

STORY 1:  Gwinnett's annual Red, Blue and You celebration will highlight Apalachee High SROs

The Red, Blue and You event, celebrating its ninth year, will honor two heroes who saved lives during the Apalachee High School shooting. Scheduled for 11:30 a.m. this Thursday at Buford Arena, the event thanks first responders and includes a meal catered by Jim N’ Nicks. This year, special recognition will be given to Barrow County SROs who stopped the shooting, as well as firefighters and police officers. The event, supported by sponsors like Northside Hospital, is free and open to the public, with growing interest from the community. 

STORY 2:  Gwinnett schools will add more social workers, with some federal help

The federal government is aiding Gwinnett County Public Schools with a $2.45 million School Based Mental Health Grant to hire more social workers, addressing students' mental health needs. Announced by U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, the grant is part of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, aimed at reducing gun violence and supporting mental health initiatives. This funding comes in response to the urgent need for more mental health professionals in Georgia schools. The grant will help provide essential mental health support for students facing various stressors. 



STORY 3: Talk about deja vu. Another winning Powerball ticket was sold in Gwinnett

Gwinnett County has recently become a hotspot for Powerball winners. A $2 million winning ticket from the Nov. 16 drawing was sold at a Shell station in Lawrenceville, marking the second big win in the area within a month. The winner, who matched all five white-ball numbers with the Power Play option, has claimed their prize but remains unnamed. Previously, a $478.2 million jackpot ticket was sold on Oct. 23 at a Quick Mart in Buford, shared by two anonymous winners, marking the largest win in Georgia Lottery history. Powerball drawings occur three times a week.

Break 2: 08.05.24 OBITS_FINAL 

STORY 4:   Students46, Lawrenceville Host Love Lawrenceville Day for International Transition Center Students

Love Lawrenceville Day, hosted by Students46, offered a Spanish-language immersive experience for newcomer students from Gwinnett County's International Transition Center. The event, part of Impact46's programming, aimed to introduce Spanish-speaking students to careers and local government. Students participated in business-shadowing at City Hall, Public Works, and the Police Department, guided by bilingual staff. The day concluded with a lunch featuring Hispanic leaders. Supported by the City of Lawrenceville and various sponsors, the event emphasized inclusivity and community connection. Future events are planned for Discovery and Central Gwinnett High Schools. 

STORY 5:   GCPS Recognizes REACH Scholars 

Gwinnett County Public Schools celebrated four REACH scholars at the annual REACH Signing Day. The scholars, Yaima Cardenas-Vazquez, Sheyla Calderon Roblero, Jacob Cortez, and Ragib Talukder, each receive up to $10,000 for postsecondary education. Chosen in eighth grade, these students are supported through high school by mentors from the REACH Georgia Program, which aims to enhance college access for low-income students. Dr. Tinisha Parker praised the scholars for their excellence and potential to make a positive impact, while Dr. Demetria Williams highlighted their commitment to achieving higher education and career success.
