Sprayberry HS rebuild project ‘not going to be a fun time’

Sprayberry rebuild

Replacing the main campus building at Sprayberry High School has long been in the works, after vocal advocacy from the community.

On Thursday, the Cobb Board of Education approved in a 7-0 vote a $71.9 million construction contract to get the project underway starting this summer.

The contract went to Carroll Daniel Construction of Atlanta, and the work is expected to take three years. 

The current campus at 2525 Sandy Plains Road opened in 1973. Sprayberry was the first high school in the East Cobb area, opening in 1952 at what is now Cobb Parkway and Allgood Road and occupied by The Walker School.

The group pushing for a new Sprayberry facility includes a hashtag on its Facebook page declaring that “NowTheRealWorkBegins.”

Rebuild Sprayberry rally
Sprayberry parents and community leaders sold a special T-shirt as they lobbied for a new main campus building.

At a school board work session Thursday before the vote, Superintendent Chris Ragsdale didn’t mince words about what that will entail.

A total of 37 portable classroom buildings will be placed in the parking lot, similar to a rebuild a decade ago at Wheeler High School, whose leaders gave that school community ample warning about the scale and length of the disruptions

By comparison, a multi-phased rebuilding at Walton High School didn’t require portables. 

Classes continued in the original classroom building until the replacement opened nearby in 2017.

The only displacements were varsity softball, baseball and tennis teams, which now have new facilities on or near campus.

The new Sprayberry facility (signified in the rendering above with beige roofs) will have four stories with 68 classrooms, new administrative and guidance offices and learning commons. Renovations also will be made to existing cafeteria space and other facilities.

But, Ragsdale said, “it’s going to be a very difficult construction. It’s not going to be a fun time. It will be an awesome campus once it’s complete.”

The Sprayberry rebuild is the first of the major projects in the current Cobb Education SPLOST VI collection period, primarily to continue the momentum of previous renovations.

A new gymnasium and Career, Technical and Agricultural Education space (at the right, indicated with a turquoise roof) was recently completed.

“We need everybody’s grace and patience with this one,” Ragsdale said.

New East Cobb Silent Book Club to hold reading sessions

Barnes and Noble opens Avenue East Cobb
The Barnes & Noble at Avenue East Cobb is among the venues for the new East Cobb chapter of the Silent Book Club.

We heard recently from Cecilia Griesenauer, who’s part of a new chapter of the Silent Book Club in the East Cobb area.

The concept is similar to book clubs that are held at book stores and libraries, except that there is no assigned reading. Instead, reading sessions for participants including mingling, socializing and reading.

Participants bring or buy their own books and can interact with others how they choose, or not.

“There is no agenda or personal gain on my part other than meeting the founding goals, supporting local businesses who are willing to host our gatherings, meeting and mingling with others who love books, and finding my next read,” she said.

The group met earlier this month at the Barnes and Noble at Avenue East Cobb (4475 Roswell Road, Suite 102) and there’s another meet-up there this Wednesday, April 24 at from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

On Monday, April 29, a meet-up is scheduled at Mzizi Coffee (2995 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 220), also from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Another Barnes and Noble meet-up will take place on Wednesday, May 8 at 7 p.m.

The time frame includes mingling, and optional book discussions before and after a dedicated hour of reading.

The Silent Book Club started in San Francisco in 2012 and has more than 500 chapters in more than 60 countries, all organized by volunteers.

Here’s a recent story from The Washington Post explaining how the concept appeals particularly to introverts, and that it grew out of a sense of isolation readers felt during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Many of the clubs formed recently, according to the story, which mentions the East Cobb chapter. Some of the participants said formal book clubs with assigned reading “were too much like homework.”

Griesenauer said she’s aware of 12 chapters in Georgia, including one that formed in Marietta late last year, as well as Smyrna and Roswell.

She said the Atlanta chapter began in December 2023 with 22 attendees at the first meetup, with growth from social media communications.

The East Cobb Silent Book Club updates its activities on its Instagram page.

Cobb schools remove 4 more library books for explicit content

Four more sexually explicit books have been removed from Cobb County School District library shelves.

Superintendent Chris Ragsdale made the announcement Thursday as he delivered lengthy prepared remarks similar to those he made with the removal of books last September that generated a noisy controversy.

As then, he said the books recently removed contained lewd, vulgar and sexually graphic content, and that “the sexualization of children can never be allowed to become normalized.”

He identified the four books by title (see below for more) and reiterated previous comments that the district would protect children from materials that are not age-appropriate and that this is “a battle between good and evil.”

Ragsdale didn’t say if the books were the subject of parental complaints or what schools had them in their libraries.

The four books removed are as follows:

  • Novelist Alice Sebold’s 1999 memoir “Lucky” has won awards in the children’s literature category, but also was pulled by its publisher in 2021 after a man she accused in the book of raping her was exonerated in court. The book’s graphic depiction of the alleged assault prompted a number of school removals across the country.
  • Best-selling author Colleen Hoover’s “It Ends With Us” is aimed at adult readers, and includes sexual content and depictions of an abusive relationship.
  • “Thirteen Reasons Why” is a 2007 young adult novel by Jay Asher about a high school freshman who commits suicide, and includes sexually explicit content. It’s been widely challenged on the grounds of not being age-appropriate.
  • “The Perks of Being a Wallflower,” by Stephen Chbosky, addresses themes like teen sex, drug use, sexual abuse and abortion, and has been subject to a number of school library removals.

Ragsdale has come under fire from critics alleging a book ban, but he took umbrage in his remarks Thursday.

“We are no more ‘banning books’ than we are banning rated R and NC17 movies,” he said. “What we are doing is not forcing taxpayers to fund students having unrestricted access to materials that are so sexually explicit and graphic they could not be read aloud in the board meeting without violating FCC regulations.

“What we are doing is giving parents peace of mind in knowing their children will not have unrestricted access to this content while at school.

“What we are doing is assuring Cobb County educators will not be forced to assume the heavy burden of incorporating lewd, vulgar, and sexually explicit materials into instruction and student conversations.

“What we are doing is refusing to force Cobb County taxpayers and educators to facilitate and advance the sexualization of children.”

(The Cobb school district later Thursday sent out a full release with a transcript and video of his comments that you can read and watch by clicking here.)

Micheal Garza of East Cobb, parent of a first-grader and a frequent critic of Ragsdale, issued a lengthy response on social media Friday, insisting that “not a single book has ever sexualized a child in Cobb schools,” nor has one endangered a student in school.

“You know what has? Guns. Weapons. Racism. Antisemitism. Islamophobia,” Garza wrote. “Yet the Superintendent spent more time last night talking about porn than he has talked about school safety or bigotry collectively in the past two years.”

Others on a Facebook group page devoted to school matters suggested starting a loose book club to read the books removed from Cobb schools, and discuss there.

Also on Friday, Cobb school board chairman Randy Scamihorn responsed to the latest book in his “Just the Facts” column, backing Ragsdale’s insistence that books aren’t being banned.

“The School Board doesn’t have the authority to decide what you and your family read, and the majority of us believe those are choices you should make at home,” he said. “On the other hand, the Board is responsible for doing everything we can to keep your children safe.”

The Cobb school district also sent out Scamihorn’s comments Friday afternoon in a separate press release.

Lassiter student named Atlanta Falcons’ HS ‘Man of the Year’

Shaw Mixon, a varsity football player at Lassiter High School, has been honored by the Atlanta Falcons for his dedication to the game on the field and his service to the community.Lassiter student named Atlanta Falcons' HS 'Man of the Year'

He’s been named the Falcons’  “High School Man of the Year.” It’s similar to a National Football League honor for professional players that’s named after the late Chicago Bears’ Hall of Famer Walter Payton.

A three-year starter in football as well as a basketball player, Mixon is vice president of Sources of Strength, an organization that works with schools to provide crisis intervention services for teens and their families in such areas as mental health, suicide, bullying and substance abuse.

“Despite personal challenges, including the loss of his father and a season-ending injury, Shaw’s resilience and dedication inspire those around him, leaving an enduring impact on both his school and local community,” the Falcons said in explaining Mixon’s honor.

He received an award at the Falcons’ team banquet in February.

The Cobb County School District said in a release that Lassiter High School’s SOS program is a flagship effort in the county, having trained more than 200 students and a third of the teaching staff has been trained as trusted adults.

“It’s nice to get recognition and validation that you’re doing something right,” Shaw in the CCSD release. “I wasn’t expecting an award or anything, but obviously, whatever I have been doing is working, and I will keep giving back to the community in whatever ways I can.”

Mixon was nominated by Lassiter head football coach Sean Thom, who said “he is the type of kid who makes everyone around him better. He made me a better husband, father, coach, and teacher. He is an uncommon man in today’s society and has great things in his future.”

Lassiter AP teacher Lizz Etter, who oversees the SOS program, said Mixon not only is a bright student and excels in sports, but “as a friend, Shaw is loyal, genuine, and kind. Above all, he is humble and gracious. Shaw Mixon is an excellent choice for any award.”

Mixon also is involved in a program at Lassiter called The Joy Mission Club, in which high school students visit elementary- and middle schools to support kids who have lost a family member.

Having lost his father a little over two years ago, Shaw knows what these kids are going through. While his own network of family and friends was strong and helped support him during a very tough time in his life, he wants to be a support for other kids experiencing something similar.

“It can be easy to think about yourself and how difficult your situation is, but sharing what you think and feel with someone else is so necessary and important,” Mixon said. “I don’t want anyone to have to go through that time alone.”

Cobb school board tentatively adopts FY 2025 budget

Cobb schools FY 2025 budget proposes 4.4-9 percent pay raises

UPDATED:

The school board voted 7-0 Thursday night to tentatively adopt the budget, meaning it can be advertised publicly and receive public feedback before a final vote is scheduled for May 16.

Proposed FY 2025 budget documents can be found by clicking here.

ORIGINAL REPORT:

The Cobb County School District’s proposed fiscal year 2025 budget includes staff pay raises that average 6 percent.

Superintendent Chris Ragsdale said at a Cobb Board of Education work session Thursday that teachers, administrators and other full-time employees will receive raises ranging from 4.4 percent to 9 percent.

The proposed $1.85 billion spending is “an employee-centric” budget, Ragsdale said during a presentation.

The budget would maintain a property tax rate of 18.7 mills, holding from last year, when the school board reduced that rate by 0.2 percent to offset rising assessments.

Brad Johnson, the district’s chief financial officer, told board members that the projected Cobb tax digest growth in 2024 is 7.5 percent, compared to 14.6 percent in 2023.

“We need to be aware of a drop like that and keep it in mind” when making budget decisions, he said.

The board also was scheduled to hold a public forum on the budget proposal and to tentatively approve it Thursday night.

Another budget forum will take place on May 16, the date the board is scheduled to finalize the budget.

This story will be updated.

East Cobb restaurant update: Reunion Kitchen and Bar opens

Reunion Kitchen and Bar opens

After a name change and several months of renovations, Reunion Kitchen and Bar has opened at the Market Plaza Shopping Center on Johnson Ferry Road.

Co-owner Ilene Kapper Oxman said in a release Thursday that the restaurant concept, which held a grand opening April 2, focuses on a “fusion of exquisite cuisine, captivating ambience, and handcrafted drinks.”

Reunion, located in the former Red Sky space (1255 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 16) is open for dinner from Tuesday through Sunday.

The fusion includes “classic flavors and contemporary twists, showcasing the best of Southern hospitality. From comforting soups and salads to innovative cocktails and carefully curated wine selections, there’s something to delight every palate.”

Reunion Kitchen and Bar opens
For a larger view click here.

Oxman, a former East Cobb resident, has been working with two other partners in the venture in part to fill the void left by Red Sky, which closed in 2022 after 14 years.

Initially the new restaurant was to be called 1255 Social, reflecting the street address.

Oxman said the name was switched to Reunion “as a testament to the power of bringing people together. Whether it’s a gathering of family, friends, or colleagues, Reunion is the place where memories are made, and connections are forged.”

The menu include beef, pork, chicken and seafood entrees, starters and shareables, salads, desserts and a fully stocked bar.

Reunion also has outdoor space with heaters and a roof for year-round use.

“Our vision is to create a gathering place where guests can enjoy exceptional food, drinks, and company in a welcoming atmosphere,” Oxman said. “We look forward to becoming a beloved destination for locals and visitors alike.”

Reunion is open Sunday 4-9; Tuesday-Wednesdsay 4-9; Thursday 4-10, Friday-Saturday 4-11 and is closed on Monday.

‘Sunny’s Butterfly Garden’ to honor East Cobb Park visionary

“It’s totally appropriate for Sunny and the park,” Diane Spencer of Frameworks Gallery said of the creation of a garden at East Cobb Park in memory of her late sister, Sunny Walker.

As the 50th anniversary of her East Cobb business approached earlier this year, Diane Spencer couldn’t help but think of her late sister.

“Sunny” Walker wasn’t just a family member but a business partner at Frameworks Gallery at Woodlawn Square Shopping Center on Johnson Ferry Road.

Walker, who died in 2019, also was a leading figure in the creation of East Cobb’s first passive park.

As an inaugural board member and later president of the volunteer group Friends for the East Cobb Park, Walker was heavily involved in the efforts to identify, purchase and convert land on Roswell Road, along Sewell Mill Creek, into what’s become one of the most popular parks in Cobb County.

The 20 acres that make up the park once was farmland, then became the home to Bowles Oil Company.

The park features multi-use trails, playgrounds, grassy recreational space, pavilions and a concert shell. Events include regular musical concerts, holiday celebrations and a Veterans Day salute.

More than anything, Walker and those behind the park’s creation simply wanted a place in the community where people could gather, recreate and enjoy natural beauty.

“There was no central gathering place” in East Cobb, Spencer said. Her sister “envisioned this very much being a community gathering place.”

Those leading the Friends group now are working to enhance the vision of the 21-year-old park. Last year, the East Cobb Park Garden Club was formed, with the goal of beautifying the park.

Its first project was seeding natural plants and perennial flower beds.

Now, the club will be taking on a major improvement, in honor of Sunny Walker.

A portion of greenspace below the gazebo overlooking the back quad of the park will be carved out to create what Spencer calls “Sunny’s Butterfly Park.”

Kurt von Borries, the group’s current president, came up with the idea when Spencer approached him about doing something to honor her sister.

“It’s totally appropriate for Sunny and the park,” she said.

A rendering of “Sunny’s Butterfly Garden” at East Cobb Park. 

It will be an all-season garden featuring more than two dozen types of flowers, covering several hundred square feet. The garden is being designed by Lyn Cohen, head of the East Cobb Park Garden Club, who’s a professional landscape architect.

To be planted include redbuds, Black-Eyed Susans, daffodils, hydrangeas and other varietals.

“It’s really a pollinator garden,” Spencer said, explaining the origins of the garden’s name. “But that doesn’t sound as good as butterfly garden.”

Cohen’s company, SiteOne Landscape Supply, is donating stone, mulch and some other materials. Two Japanese maple trees also will be donated, according to von Borries.

But between $10,000 to $15,000 needs to be raised to purchase and plant the flowers, and to build out and maintain the garden. The work is expected to get underway later this spring, with completion aimed for the fall.

To that effort, Spencer is holding a fundraising open house at Frameworks next week, donating between 30 to 100 percent of whatever she sells in the store for the garden.

The hours for the open house are from 4-8 p.m. Thursday, April 25, and during store hours Friday-Saturday April 26-27 from 10-6 (1205 Johnson Ferry Road, Suite 110).

Frameworks features painting, sculpture and ceramics made by local and Georgia artists. Spencer said some of them agreed to donate their works for the fundraiser.

Since Friends for the East Cobb Park is a 501(c)3 non-profit, she’ll also have tax receipts for purchasers.

(Anyone can donate at anytime online, in an amount of their choosing, by clicking here. Checks should be made out to Friends for the East Cobb Park.)

Von Borries admitted that “it’s going to be a challenge” to maintain the garden, which will be the major project of the garden club.

Long-term, he’s hopeful that East Cobb Park could someday include a botanical garden.

“We’re just trying to beautify the park,” he said. “We’ve got a lot of land to work with.”

Walker was previously honored in 2017 with a piano named after her at the gazebo, but which has since been removed. There’s also a bridge named after her connecting the current park to its newer space extending toward Fullers Park.

Spencer said the garden is the perfect way to honor her memory.

“This is kind of a personal thing,” she said. “There are so many people who knew and loved Sunny.

“This is a prime example of what can be done with this park. Sunny would have envisioned that. I think that’s what she would want to see. I think this will be a milestone for the park.”

Sunny Walker “dreamed big,” according to the first president of the Friends for the East Cobb Park, “and we bought into it.”

Cobb schools FY2025 proposed budget, Sprayberry contract on agenda

Cobb schools FY2025 proposed budget

The Cobb Board of Education will hear details of the Cobb County School District’s proposed fiscal year 2025 operating budget on Thursday, and hold a public forum on the matter.

According to an agenda preview, the budget presentation will be made at a 1:30 p.m. work session and at the public forum, which starts at 6:30 p.m.

The board’s monthly business meeting will take place at 7 p.m.

Also on the agenda is a recommendation to approve setting a $71.9 million maximum construction price for the replacement of the main classroom building at Sprayberry High School.

All meetings are scheduled for the board room of the Cobb school district’s central office at 514 Glover St. in Marietta. The work session, public forum and business meeting can be seen live on the district’s Boxcast streaming channel and CobbEdTV (channel 24 on Comcast cable and channel 182 on Charter cable).

You can read through the full agenda by clicking here; an executive session will take place after the work session.

An agenda item states the proposed Cobb school budget for FY 2025 is $1.85 billion in expenses, compared to the $1.448 current fiscal year 2024 budget.

No details have been released. The Cobb school district’s fiscal year begins on July 1. Current budget documents can be found by clicking here; that link eventually will include FY 2025 spending details.

Another budget forum will take place on May 16, the date the board is scheduled to finalize the budget.

Watching the Funds-Cobb, a citizens watchdog group that scrutinizes Cobb school district finances, posted a social media message Tuesday asking for an earlier release of budget details before the meeting day.

“Assuming the Board members have been given the budget docs by now, there is no reason to keep them from us so we have a few days to do our due diligence, rather than a few hours,” the message said.

“If they truly respect the taxpayers and are as concerned about our money as [current chairman] Randy Scamihorn recently stated (regarding a fee the County Commissioners are considering), then surely he and the others (especially those up for re-election) can compel the district leaders to honor our request.”

The message urged followers to write to school board members, saying “Let’s make our budget process more transparent and inclusive by giving the public the time they need to engage meaningfully.”

Last year, the Cobb school board lowered the property tax millage rate for the first time in 15 years, from 18.9 mills to 18.7 mills.

That was done in part to offset sharply-increasing property tax assessments. The FY 2024 budget called for full-time employees to receive salary increases between 7.5 percent and 12.1 percent, and the addition of 11 police officers.

The board will hear a recommendation by district staff to award a $71.9 million construction contract to Carroll Daniel Construction of Atlanta for the Sprayberry project.

It’s on the project list of the current Cobb Education SPLOST VI and work is expected to get underway this summer, with the installation of portable classrooms.

Estimated completion is July 2027.

Former Walton educator named Bartow deputy superintendent

Christian Suttle, who was a teacher, coach and assistant principal at Walton High School in East Cobb, has been named the deputy superintendent of the Bartow County School System.Former Walton educator named Bartow deputy superintendent

According to an announcement made by Bartow schools, he will begin his duties in June.

Suttle succeeds former Wheeler High School principal David Chiprany, who is retiring.

Suttle currently is an assistant superintendent for the Cobb County School District, overseeing the administration of several high schools, including all six in East Cobb—Kell, Lassiter, Pope, Sprayberry, Walton and Wheeler.

He also was the principal at Hillgrove High School in West Cobb and has 24 years of experience as an educator.

During his tenure at Walton, Suttle was a teacher, and coached football and track and field before becoming athletics director and an assistant principal.

The Bartow announcement said Suttle will be responsible for student learning, achievement and academic support programs. The district has nearly 14,000 students.

“I am ready for this new adventure,” Suttle said in the Bartow announcement. “You will soon see me in your school community and beyond, collaborating with our business and faith-based communities to further strengthen the academic foundation and provide world-class opportunities for our children.”

Chiprany left Cobb for Bartow in 2018, serving as chief academic officer for a year before becoming that district’s first deputy superintendent. He has been a professional educator for 30 years.

Suttle graduated from high school in Birmingham, Ala., in 1993 and attended Kentucky State College and Miles College, also in Birmingham, where he played football and earned a degree in elementary education.

Suttle is a member of the Miles College Sports Hall of Fame. He lives in Dallas, Ga., with his wife Cappie, and their children Tatiana, Brennen, Mason, Connor and Grant.

Marietta food non-profit to hold Avenue East Cobb fundraiser

Marietta food non-profit to hold fundraiser at Kendra Scott

Submitted information and photo:

PORCH-Marietta, an all-volunteer nonprofit dedicated to reducing food insecurity, is excited to announce its upcoming fundraiser in partnership with Kendra Scott Jewelry. The event is scheduled for Sunday, May 5 from 3-5 PM at Kendra Scott Jewelry at Avenue East Cobb, in time for Mother’s Day and graduation shopping.

The store will donate 20% of its proceeds to PORCH-Marietta to support their PORCH for Schools program. Through this initiative, PORCH provides healthy snacks for students in local Title 1 schools so they can stay fueled up and ready to learn all day. Hungry students can’t focus on learning, and teachers shouldn’t have to pay for students’ snacks themselves.

“Every customer who mentions PORCH on 5/5 will make a positive impact on the lives of local students,” said Liz Platner, chapter leader of PORCH-Marietta. “We had funds to support 9 Cobb County and Marietta City schools in January and we hope to raise enough money to provide for these schools again next semester.”

“We invite the Marietta community to join us for a day of shopping with a purpose,” Platner added. “Together, we can make a significant difference towards reducing food insecurity in our neighborhood.”

Those who can’t get to the store can make a tax-deductible contribution at https://porchcommunities.org/porch-marietta/donate. Businesses interested in becoming a PORCH for Schools sponsor can reach out for more information.

PORCH Communities was started in 2011 in Chapel Hill, and there are now over 550 neighborhoods in 10 states serving their local communities. PORCH chapters have gathered and distributed more than $12.5 million worth of food to neighbors in need. The PORCH-Marietta chapter was founded in February 2022.

Contributing non-perishable food to 6 local food pantries on a monthly basis is the flagship program of PORCH-Marietta. To date, PORCH-Marietta has donated over 64,000 pounds of food to these pantries. They collect food via monthly neighborhood food drives, based on customized wish lists from the pantries. Neighbors put the requested groceries out on their porch and volunteers pick it up and deliver it to the pantries. Currently there are 50 Marietta neighborhoods participating. To add your neighborhood to the team, contact  marietta@porchcommunities.org.

‘Votestock’ Democratic event includes East Cobb candidates

Four Democrats seeking public office in the U.S. Congress and Georgia legislature in the north metro Atlanta area will appear at a political “festival-style concert” in Woodstock on Sunday.

Cobb parents ask for more inclusivity
Michael Garza

They’re clients of a new Democratic-aligned campaign consulting firm, FTR Strategies of Roswell, and three are seeking offices that include the East Cobb area.

What’s being called “Votestock” takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Woodstock Arts Event Green (111 Elm St., Woodstock), ahead of the May 21 Georgia primaries.

The event includes family-friendly activities; live music from local rock band Rodeo Drive; locally sourced food; and booths offering information about local businesses, campaigns, and other involvement opportunities.

The candidates include Antonio Daza, a candidate for District 11 in the U.S. House; Micheal Garza, who is running for State House District 46; J.D. Jordan, who’s on the ballot for State Senate District 46; and Tracy Verhoeven, a candidate for State Senate District 21.

Daza, who lives in Atlanta, is running against Republican U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk of the 11th District for the second time.

That district was redrawn in January by the legislature to include most of East Cobb, portions of Atlanta and Cherokee County and Bartow County.

Garza, who’s a frequent critic of the Cobb County School District, also is challenging GOP incumbent John Carson of Northeast Cobb and south Cherokee for the second time in three years.

Jordan, of Roswell, is running against Republican Sen. John Albers of District 56, which includes some of East Cobb.

Senate District 21, where Verhoeven is running, is represented by GOP Sen. Brandon Beach and includes parts of Cherokee and north Fulton.

“Woodstock is rapidly growing, vibrant, and a great area to hold a festive event,” Mo Pippin, co-owner of FTR Strategies, said in a release.

“Our hope is to highlight this area as a whole, spread awareness about the election next month, and make Democratic voters feel more united in an area that has traditionally supported conservative candidates.”

Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance Adopt-A-Mile cleanup sets record

Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance Adopt-A-Mile cleanup sets record

Submitted information and photo:

More volunteers than ever before participated in Powers Ferry Corridor Alliance’s (PFCA) Spring Adopt-a-Mile cleanup on April 13. Topping last fall’s record 18 volunteers, 25 enthusiastic people from area neighborhoods and businesses turned out for the Saturday morning event. The cleanup was held with the support of Keep Cobb Beautiful, Kroger and Take 5 Oil Change.

The non-profit community group has organized cleanups twice a year in the spring and fall since 2013. The PFCA is composed of individuals, HOAs and businesspeople working together for the betterment of the general area of Powers Ferry and Terrell Mill in East Cobb County.

The volunteers gathered at the Kroger Fuel Center parking lot at 1310 Powers Ferry Rd., then fanned out along Powers Ferry and Terrell Mill Rd. to pick up trash. In just 90 minutes, they collected enough litter to fill 52 trash bags, also a record number, and additionally removed several illegal stick signs from the roadways.

“We are so pleased with the support from Kroger and Take 5 as well as from Custom Signs Today that donated multi-use signage items last fall, and we hope that more businesses along this corridor will recognize the efforts of these volunteers to spruce up the area and help it look its best,” said Patti Rice, PFCA president. “This cleanup is just one of many ways the PFCA advocates for and supports businesses and neighborhoods. We are a powerful voice for the community, and events like this show our volunteers in action.”

In support of the event, Kroger donated refreshments for the volunteers, and several employees from Take 5 participated in the cleanup. 

“We love the community and love coming out and seeing everybody support this effort,” said Christopher Clark, Take 5 store manager.

“I like volunteering, and I like keeping my neighborhood looking nice,” said Homer Wheeler of the Valencia Hills neighborhood. Wheeler is also a regular participant in the PFCA Adopt-a-Mile cleanups.

Communities represented at the event included the Flats at Riverwalk, Greyfield, River’s Call, Riverstone at Wildwood, Riverwalk at Wildwood, Terrell Mill Estates and Valencia Hills.

“I wanted to contribute to my neighborhood,” said Gerry Wyckoff, a resident of the Greyfield subdivision and a first-time Adopt-a-Mile volunteer.

“We doubled our adopted stretch of Powers Ferry Road during this past year, and our team continues to be amazed at the increasing turnout of volunteers,” said Kedrick Green, PFCA’s Adopt-A-Mile coordinator. “We hope every business that benefited from this cleanup will appreciate this effort and support the PFCA by becoming a member.” 

The Keep Cobb Beautiful Adopt-A-Mile program is a partnership that allows individuals and groups to improve the appearance of their communities. Learn more at https://powersferryca.com/adopt-a-mile-cleanup.html or email volunteer@powersferryca.com.

East Cobb Biz Scene: Paint-by-numbers marketing; new openings

East Cobb Biz Scene
Discarded paint supplies are loaded up at the Pope Band recycling event.

Small businesses know they have to be creative to stand out in a crowded, competitive marketplace.

For paint store owner John Gregory, it made perfect sense for his in.SIDE.out stores to be present at the Pope Band recycling event Saturday at the Northeast Cobb YMCA (he provided the photos to us as well).

in.SIDE.out—which has two stores in East Cobb, was a sponsor of the event, and helped carry away unwanted paint from customers dropping off all kinds of other household items.

Gregory’s stores specialize in selling Benjamin Moore brands, and he has a color consultant available for customers who want specialized assistance in getting the right look, whether it’s inside or out.

He’s holding customer appreciation events at his East Cobb stores in the coming week: This Tuesday, April 16, from 11-2 at the Merchants Walk store (4235 Merchants Walk Drive), with lunch items from Marlow’s Tavern. Next Tuesday, there will be a similar event at the Parkaire store (4880 Lower Roswell Road, Suite 135), also from 11-2.

Business partners and key vendors will on hand for product demonstrations, education and for other information,

He opened the Parkaire store in 2016 (next store to Johnny’s Pizza), but outgrew that space and needed to expand. Not wanting to relocate completely, another in.SIDE.out opened at Shoppes the Merchants Walk (an outparcel near Whole Foods) in 2022.

Benjamin Moore is a national paint retailer but the stores are locally owned and operated.

“The difference is we’re your neighbors,” said Gregory, who has a third store in Alpharetta. “We aim to provide a better level of service.”

The Dog Stop opens

The Dog Stop, a national franchise dog care brand, has opened a store at 1355 Roswell Road (East Cobb store website), in the Town and Country Shopping Center.

The owners are local entrepreneurs Anne Bailey and Connor Moore, who first met while getting their Executive MBAs at Emory University.

“We chose The Dog Stop because we wanted to invest in a franchise that we would enjoy being a part of,” Moore said in a release. “We both own dogs, love the pet owner demographic and YOY increase in spending on pet care services, and we were impressed with the corporate team after meeting them during our discovery week.”

The Dog Stop was formed in 2009 and provides dog care services and products, covering behavior, nutrition and grooming. Dog daycare and boarding services are available, and the retail product line includes food, treats, toys, accessories and health/medical items.

Hours are Monday-Friday 6:30 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 10-4.

Music By Tritone Expands

Music by Tritone, which provides private music lessons, coaching and recording services to student musicians, has opened a studio in East Cobb (4343 Shallowford Road, Building B, Suite 110).

It’s the third such location (Roswell, Alpharetta/Johns Creek) for Music by Tritone, which formed in 2002. It’s also  collaborating with the Roswell Cultural Arts Center and on Saturday will debut there with the Tritone Youth Orchestra in a special concert: Tickets and details at www.roswellcac.showare.com.

The show is entitled “80s Classic Time Machine: A Symphonic Journey from Rock to Classical.”

“Music By Tritone elevates the music lesson and performance experience with an individualized approach that connects musicians of all ages. Expanding further into the neighborhoods of north metro Atlanta helps us share music with more families,” Joshua K. Chari, Co-Founder and Co-Owner of Music By Tritone, said in a release. “We are especially grateful to the Roswell Cultural Arts Center for this new collaboration, and the tremendous opportunity to engage and connect with the music community.”

In addition, Music by Tritone (website here) also offers summer camps and workshops.
