ATLANTA -- Coloring is perhaps one of the first activities a child embarks upon in his or her educational journey. It creates a foundation for activity and a lifetime of learning.

This September, coloring can also help create a financial foundation.

One lucky Georgia child will join Kendall Lapinskas of Dunwoody and Taylor Boyd of Covington in winning a college scholarship from the Path2College 529 Plan.

WOODSTOCK, Ga. -- Many growing threats are currently facing U.S. schools, including bullying, cyberbullying, sexual predators, drugs and gang violence.

On Thursday, Sept. 8, Woodstock High School will hold a school safety forum to introduce the community to these issues and possible solutions.

Nationally renowned school safety experts will be in attendance, including Alison Rhodes, better known as Safety Mom, and Patrick Fiel, the former executive director of school safety for the Washington, D.C. public school system.

Fiel now works as a public safety advisor for ADT Security. At the event, ADT will showcase the latest high tech solutions available to schools, such as video surveillance, mass alerts, visitor management and "smart bus" transportation safety.

The forum will take place from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Sept. 8.

The school bell will ring soon and many parents will send a child to kindergarten. This is always an emotional time for parents. For some, it will be sending your first born and for others it will be sending the youngest of four. Kindergarten is an important milestone in your child’s life. Your child’s maturity will grow tremendously this year and you’ll get to see a small glimpse of how your hard work over the past 5 years has shaped your child. It wasn’t that long ago that you held your precious baby in your arms for the first time. Where did the time go? Now it’s time to send that little baby off to kindergarten. For most this will be the first full school day, the first  year to ride the school bus, the first year to have homework, and the first year when peer influences begin to play a role.
