Our Classic City High School students put their creativity to work during our Breast Cancer Awareness Pumpkin Contest! Each participating advisement class had the opportunity to decorate a pumpkin with a meaningful message of awareness, hope, and support. 💗
This contest was about more than decorating pumpkins—it was an opportunity to honor those affected by breast cancer, celebrate survivors, and remember those we have lost.
We are proud of the teamwork and creativity our students brought to this special activity. Thank you to our participating students, teachers, and judges! 💚💛🦅
Take a look at their creations and help us celebrate their hard work! 📸🎃

At CCSD, through our partnership with Gifted Savings, we're continuing the groundbreaking work of making Athens the first community in America where every student graduates high school as a real investor, and we're well on our way to fully funding investment portfolios for a third graduating class!
At yesterday's quarterly meeting of our community Gifted Savings Advisory Council, Gifted Savings Executive Director Josh Landay shared that our community has raised more than $150,000 toward our goal of providing $1,000 portfolios for every member of the CCSD Class of 2028!
Through the support of local businesses and organizations, the success of our Fall "Dining for Dividends" event last month, and the contributions of nearly 30 individual donors alone since late August, our community is making an impact and making a difference in the lives of students! Meanwhile, our seniors in the Class of 2027 are deep into the 20-module financial education and literacy program, learning a renewed mindset around money management and developing a financial toolkit that will serve them well and help them build a secure future in adulthood!
Help us keep the momentum going and meet our next fundraising goal! Visit www.clarke.k12.ga.us/giftedsavings to learn more and contribute to the Gifted Savings at CCSD Fund through the Athens Area Community Foundation!
