What's Happening in Habersham: Chamber Newsletter- Week of August 5th

Volume 32 | August 5, 2019

Hey everyone!

Just like that, summer has come to an end. But with the start of a new school year, there is always some excitement in the air.

While getting back into the school-year routine is a little bittersweet, I am always encouraged by the fact that the schools in Habersham County - but public and private- consistently rank among the best in the state. In addition, we have a wealth of agencies, organizations and volunteers that are partners in education, dedicated to the success of our students.

I hope you have all fully enjoyed your summer break. And I hope that life slowed down just a little for each of you and provided you quality time with those you love.

In the blink of an eye, another year will pass, and these children will either be on their way out the door and headed into their next chapter in life, or one step closer at a minimum.

Let’s work together to send our kids back to school with a smile and encouragement for the upcoming school year.

I wish everyone the best for another great school year ahead!
