A new school year in Cobb County is underway, as our young people return to classes to learn valuable skills as well as important life lessons.
We’ve been hearing a lot about some old-school practices that are coming back to our schools, including the mandatory teaching of cursive handwriting in grade school.
As someone who was taught the rigorous methods of penmanship in the pre-digital world—and right here in Cobb—I heartily applaud that move!
Good habits start young, and as the fall is around the corner, many of our routines will revert back to what they were before the summer.
We hope you’ve enjoyed these last couple months, and know many of you have been taking vacation, going out of town, visiting with friends and family and relaxing.
At East Cobb News, we’ve been busy all summer, giving you local news and community connection you can’t get anywhere else. As you ease back into your old habits, consider what this news resource means to you.
Donating is safe, secure and easy!
Like a school child’s backpack with pens, paper and other supplies, we think that a community checklist for East Cobb citizens in the know includes regularly checking in with East Cobb News.
We know many of you do, from your regular visits to our site and social media channels, as well as our weekly newsletter.
We’re asking readers to provide financial support so we can do even more of what we love to do the best—give you the local news that you love!
We publish news stories on our site six days a week, Monday-Saturday, and on Sunday we bring you our weekly newsletter and major breaking news.
While we do take some time off when we can, we remain fully committed to providing you with original reporting and useful community information as it happens.
Even though we’ve been around for eight years now, East Cobb News still operates with a scrappy spirit. We’re not corporate-owned and we’re truly independent in how we do everything.
The battles that local news publishers face these days are difficult for us all, but for those of us in the mom-and-pop world, even more so.
