Podcasts about Middle school

In the last few episodes, we've explored the many ways students can lead through innovation, dialogue, and action.We've seen, again and again, that when teens identify their core values and then make a meaningful impact aligned with those values… that's the kind of leadership colleges simply cannot ignore.But today, I want to zoom in on something even more foundational:What does it actually mean to make an impact?When adults talk about impact, it often sounds abstract, almost mysterious.And for teens who are used to classroom projects that stay theoretical, the idea of solving real problems in the real world can feel overwhelming… even scary.The students you're about to hear from — Ava Dinapoli and Aavi Patel — felt all of that.They ran into roadblocks.They doubted themselves.They had to figure things out step by step.But they stayed committed to making the most meaningful impact they could.And because of that persistence… their work is literally saving lives.I hope you listen to their stories and feel as inspired as I am, not only because of the size of their impact, but because of the way they achieved it.They didn't leap into greatness.They moved forward one step at a time, exactly the way any young person can.Let's listen in.-----To register for the Ivy League Challenge, visit our websiteTo follow on Instagram:  @TheIvyLeagueChallengeTo join us on our Facebook group for parents

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/family-devotions/20251229fam.mp3 Listen to Devotion I will tell of the kindnesses of the LORD, the deeds for which he is to be praised, according to all the LORD has done for us—yes, the many good things he has done for Israel, according to his compassion and many kindnesses. He said, “Surely they are my people, children who will be true to me”; and so he became their Savior. In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old. Isaiah 63:7-9 I Can't Wait to Tell! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Think about when you come back to school after Christmas break. What's the first thing everybody does? They tell stories! Stories about presents, fun trips . . . stories about cousins who stayed WAY too long. We like telling the good parts of our break. We don't usually say things like, “I fought with my brother,” or “I spilled hot chocolate everywhere.” We like to talk about the happy things! The prophet Isaiah reminds us that we can do the same thing when we talk about Jesus—we can tell the good news about him! Tell about his mercies. Even when you and I mess up and sin, Jesus says, “I forgive you.” Every time. And that forgiveness is for your friends too! Tell of the reasons to praise the Lord. Life isn't always easy. Some days are hard. But look around—God gives you so many good things: food, family, clothes, a bed, friends, a school, a Savior. That's a LOT to thank him for! Tell about what Jesus has done. Jesus cared for you so much that he became: your Savior in the manger, your Savior on the cross, your Savior who rose from the empty tomb, and your Savior ruling in heaven right now! Here's the best part: God says to you, “Surely you are my people.” That means, “You belong to me. I love you. I won't leave you.” So whether the rest of your break is super fun, kind of boring, or a little tough, Jesus is with you. He carries you. He will not let you go. You can trust that because he has also told you that the baby in the manger is your Savior. And THAT is something worth telling others! Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you for telling us in your Word all the wonderful things you have done for us. May we always remember these truths, that we would tell your praises and mercies to those who need to hear them. Amen. The questions below are to help families discuss this devotion. The questions are divided by age group as suggestions, but anyone could reflect on any of the questions as they desire. Questions for Younger Children What are some good things the Lord has done for you this week? Which one makes you smile the biggest?! Who can you tell about those good things? What would say to that person? Questions for Elementary Age Children In verse 8, the Lord tells us that he became your Savior. How does Jesus born a tiny baby show he came to be your Savior? What's one simple way you can talk about Jesus this vacation week—at home or with a friend? Questions for Middle School and Above God says, “Surely you are my people.” How can those words help you when you are feeling down? Think of a friend who's having a tough time. What could you tell them about the Lord's mercies to help them feel better? Download Family Devotions Family Devotions are brought to you by WELS Discipleship.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/family-devotions/20251226fam.mp3 Listen to Devotion Read: John 1:1-14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. John 1:1-2 (EHV) The Best Gift Ever: Jesus! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. A long time ago, at the very beginning of everything, God used his Word to create the whole world—everything we see and even things we cannot see. Over 2,000 years ago, this same Word became a baby and lived among us in Bethlehem. That is what we celebrate at Christmas—Jesus—“the Word”—comes to be with us! But it wasn't just about Jesus being born. He came on a special mission—to save us. Everything he did, and even some things he didn't do, were all part of this mission. His goal? To make us children of God and to bring us close to him. When we look at nativity scenes, manger sets, or Christmas pictures, we remember baby Jesus—“the Word”—and think about all he has done for us. Because of him, we can be friends with God, have our sins forgiven, and live holy lives. We become part of God's family through faith—that means believing Jesus is our Savior. Because we are God's children, we can pray, “Our Father in heaven”, and know that God loves us, cares for us, and is with us every single day. He gives us what we need and keeps us close to him through his Word. One day, because of Jesus, we will be with him forever in heaven! All around the world, people are celebrating this amazing Christmas truth: God's love for us in Jesus. And we get to celebrate it too! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Christ—“the Word”—is born! And that's the best news ever! Amen. Prayer: Jesus, you are the Word made flesh who came down to heaven to become one of us. You became our salvation so that we could become children of God. May we rejoice in the Christmas message now and forever. Amen. The questions below are to help families discuss this devotion. The questions are divided by age group as suggestions, but anyone could reflect on any of the questions as they desire. Questions for Younger Children What is another name for Jesus in today's devotion? True or False: God made the world using “the Word.” Questions for Elementary Age Children Why can we pray in the Lord's Prayer, “Our Father, who is in heaven”? Why did Jesus come to live with us? Questions for Middle School and Above When you see a nativity scene or a Christmas picture, what does it remind you about Jesus? Look at all the Christmas gifts you got this year. Can you think of reasons why the gift of Jesus is even better than all of them? Download Family Devotions Family Devotions are brought to you by WELS Discipleship.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/family-devotions/20251224fam.mp3 Listen to Devotion For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. It trains us to reject ungodliness and worldly lusts and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope, that is, the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. He gave himself for us, to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people who are his own chosen people, eager to do good works. Titus 2:11-14 (EHV) Jesus Cleans Us Up—Just Like Dawn Soap! In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. During the school year, we get some breaks—like Christmas break, Easter break, and summer break. Breaks are a time to take a rest from the usual schedule and enjoy something different. Learning is important, but so is rest, fun, and spending time with family and friends. When a break starts, what will you do with that free time? Sometimes, there are plans already. Other times, we have to decide how to use our free time. If we don't think about it, we might end up doing nothing and feel like we wasted our break. Jesus gives us a different kind of freedom. It isn't freedom from school—it's freedom from a life controlled by sin. Sin is all the ways we make bad choices, act selfishly, or ignore God. The freedom Jesus gives us isn't just a “break” before we have to deal with sin again—it's freedom to live a new life following him. Jesus has saved us from sin. We are free! But what will we do with this freedom? God calls us to live for him and do good things. Here's a way to understand it: an old soap commercial—Dawn soap. The power of Dawn soap isn't just for dishes. There was an oil spill in the ocean, and many birds got covered in oil and couldn't move. People came and washed the birds with—you guessed it—Dawn soap and hot water. The commercial shows the birds flying away and free. In the same way, Jesus cleaned us from sin and guilt. His cross and blood free us to do the things God made us to do! We can: Care for others with Christian love Praise God with happy hearts Respect and honor those God puts in charge Speak kindly to others Be thankful for what God gives us All of this is possible because Jesus made us clean and pure. Prayer: Dear Jesus, thank you for cleaning us from sin and guilt and giving us freedom to live for you. Holy Spirit, help us use our freedom to do good things, love others, and praise you with happy hearts. Thank you for saving us and being with us every day. Amen. The questions below are to help families discuss this devotion. The questions are divided by age group as suggestions, but anyone could reflect on any of the questions as they desire. Questions for Younger Children Who saved us from all sin and guilt? How can we learn more about God? Questions for Elementary Age Children How did Jesus make us clean from sin and guilt? Name three “good things” (works) you want to do this week to help others. Questions for Middle School and Above How can we live self-controlled, upright, and God-pleasing lives right now? We are not saved by doing good works. Then why do we do them? Download Family Devotions Family Devotions are brought to you by WELS Discipleship.

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/family-devotions/20251222fam.mp3 Listen to Devotion The LORD spoke to Ahaz again. He said, “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God. Ask for it either in the depths below or in the heights above.” But Ahaz responded, “I will not ask. I will not test the LORD.” So Isaiah said: Listen now, you house of David. Is it not enough for you to test the patience of men? Will you test the patience of my God as well? Therefore the Lord himself will give a sign for all of you. Look! The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son and name him Immanuel. Isaiah 7:10-14 (EHV) God With Us: The Greatest Mission In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Have you ever seen a Mission Impossible movie with Tom Cruise? There are eight of them! They have crazy stunts—people hanging from planes, jumping between buildings, and doing things that seem totally impossible. But by the end, all the good guys make it through safely, and the day is saved. A long time ago, over 700 years before Jesus was born, there was a king named Ahaz. Life looked really hard for the people of Judah. They were sad and worried because it seemed like everything was going wrong. But God promised to help them—even when it seemed impossible. God wanted Ahaz to ask for a sign to show that he would keep his promise, but Ahaz didn't want to. So God gave a special sign anyway—the promise of the Savior, Jesus! Jesus would be born from a virgin, and his name would be Immanuel, which means “God with us.” That's amazing, isn't it? God promised to be with his people, and he kept that promise by sending Jesus. Jesus did the most impossible mission ever. He was born as a baby in Bethlehem. He lived a perfect life, died on the cross for us, and promised that everyone who believes in him will be with God forever in heaven. That's the true miracle of Christmas—God with us, Jesus for us, forever! Prayer: Dear Jesus, you are Immanuel, “God with us.” What a beautiful name! Thank you for coming to us, even when it seemed impossible. Help us remember that you are always with us and that “with you,” all things are possible. Lift up our spirits in joy this week as we welcome your deliverance. Amen. The questions below are to help families discuss this devotion. The questions are divided by age group as suggestions, but anyone could reflect on any of the questions as they desire. Questions for Younger Children Do you know anyone named Immanuel? How long before Jesus was born did God give King Ahaz the promise of a Savior? Questions for Elementary Age Children What does the name “Immanuel” mean? Can you think of a time when it was comforting to know that God was with you? Questions for Middle School and Above Why did Jesus get the name, “Immanuel”?

https://wels2.blob.core.windows.net/family-devotions/20251219fam.mp3 Listen to Devotion While John was in prison, he heard about the things Christ was doing. He sent two of his disciples to ask him, “Are you the Coming One or should we wait for someone else?” Jesus answered them, “Go, report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the gospel is preached to the poor. Blessed is the one who does not take offense at me.” As these two were leaving, Jesus began to talk to the crowds about John. “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? What did you go out to see? A man dressed in soft clothing? No, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. So what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you! And he is much more than a prophet. This is the one about whom it is written, ‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, who will prepare your way before you.' Amen I tell you: Among those born of women there has not appeared anyone greater than John the Baptist. Yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. Matthew 11:2-11 (EHV) Are You the Coming One? In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. There's a famous children's book called Are You My Mother? Maybe you've read it! It's about a baby bird who hatches while his mom is gone. So, he climbs out of the nest and starts asking all kinds of animals and even machines, “Are you my mother?” But they all say, “No!” Finally, the baby bird gets lifted back into his nest, and his real mother comes home. They are happy together again! We aren't baby birds, and John the Baptist wasn't either. But John was looking for someone—the Coming One, the Savior God promised. But here's the strange part: John the Baptist already knew Jesus! He even baptized Jesus. He heard God's voice say, “This is my Son, whom I love.” He saw the Holy Spirit come down like a dove. So why would John ask Jesus, “Are you the Coming One?” Maybe John wasn't doubting, maybe he was just tired of waiting. He was stuck in prison and probably wished Jesus would save him right away. Or maybe John wanted his followers to learn the truth themselves by going to Jesus and asking. Whatever the reason, we know what happened: John sent two of his helpers to Jesus to ask, “Are you the Coming One?” And Jesus didn't just say, “Yes.” Instead, he told them to look at what he was doing—making blind people see, deaf people hear, lame people walk and telling the good news to the poor. All those miracles matched the promises in the Bible. So the answer was clear: Jesus IS the Coming One! John's job was always to point people to Jesus. He wanted everyone to know the Savior. We can do that too. Many people still wonder, “Who is Jesus?” With our lives, words, and church family, we can point to Jesus—the One who came to save us, forgive us, and lead us to eternal life. Prayer: Jesus, you are the Coming One whom God promised. You help us see the truth, walk in faith, and one day you will raise us to live with you forever. Make our faith stronger and help us share the good news with others—at Christmas and all year long. Amen. The questions below are to help families discuss this devotion. The questions are divided by age group as suggestions, but anyone could reflect on any of the questions as they desire. Questions for Younger Children Who did John the Baptist send to Jesus to talk to him? (His disciples.) What question did they ask Jesus? (“Are you the Coming One?”) Questions for Elementary Age Children How can our church do the same kind of work John the Baptist did? (By pointing people to Jesus, teaching about him, sharing God's Word.) Name a few miracles Jesus did that showed he is the Savior—the Coming One. (Helping blind people see, lame people walk, sick people get better, calming storms, feeding crowds.) Questions for Middle School and Above Why didn't Jesus just say, “Yes, I am the Coming One”? Why did he answer the way he did? (He wanted them to see the proof—his miracles matched God's promises.) How did John the Baptist prepare the hearts of people for Jesus' arrival? (He told them to repent, be baptized, and look for the Savior.) Download Family Devotions Family Devotions are brought to you by WELS Discipleship.

Shout Out to the Saco Middle School Sebago Team Kids + Kelly's Comments by Maine's Coast 93.1

Send us a textWhat do kids really touch when they “use AI”? We sat down with educator Tom Mullaney and early virtual economy pioneer Tim Allen to strip away the buzzwords and bring AI back to what children actually experience: predictive systems that generate words, pictures, and sounds without authorship or intent. From Second Life marketplaces to today's chatbots, we trace how hype blurs reality, how “easy button” tools undercut learning, and why kids deserve a clear, practical map for using AI without losing creativity or judgment.We dig into a simple, striking demo: nine leading models drawing a wall clock once per minute, often getting it wrong in different ways. That moving snapshot opens a bigger lesson—if a model can't keep a clock straight, don't trust it where accuracy matters. Tom explains why generative AI reads as polished but painfully boring in student writing, while Tim offers pathways for young coders to use models for boilerplate and then switch to human craft for novelty and taste. Together we explore the mental health risks of parasocial chatbot bonds, the screen-addictive design of platforms, and the Harvard study that ties lifelong happiness to real relationships, not fleeting likes.Parents and teachers will find practical guardrails: ask who built the tool and who benefits, demand transparency and family controls, and push for real accountability when systems output harmful content. Kids get a north star: humans create, computers generate. Keep AI as a tool, not a crutch. Choose projects that make you think, verify results, and be proud to fail boldly as you learn. We also touch on the environmental cost of running large models and why a family-first approach to AI can help everyone stay curious, safe, and grounded.If this conversation helps you teach skepticism without fear and keep kids building in the real world, share it with a friend, subscribe for more like this, and leave a review with the one guardrail you'd add first.Support the showHelp us become the #1 podcast for AI for Kids.

What if the habits your child builds in middle school could shape their entire future?In this episode of the MindBodySpace Podcast, Dr. Juna reconnects with Noelle Naito—now a Juilliard-trained violinist and marathon runner—who began her brain training journey as a homeschooled middle schooler. With just a few simple tools like daily logging, mindfulness, movement, and mental training techniques like cognitive reappraisal, Noelle learned how to manage stress, build focus, and become the boss of her own brain.Together, they reflect on how small changes led to major transformation, from running one block at a time to crossing a marathon finish line—and how any young person can learn these same tools to set them up for lifelong resilience!Whether you're a parent, educator, or high-achiever yourself, this conversation will leave you inspired, grounded, and ready to build the kind of brain that thrives—on stage and in life.Brain Boss is the MindBodySpace program designed especially for tweens to build these exact skills—using neuroscience, visualization, and habit-building to create real, lasting confidence.

In this episode of the Daughtered Podcast, Oscar sits down with Kim Worrell, a certified life coach for teen girls and young women, and a certified Positive Psychology Coach based in Providence, Rhode Island. Kim is the founder of KBW Coaching, where she blends life coaching and positive psychology to help girls navigate today’s complex world, build confidence, and move forward with purpose.  Oscar and Kim dive into what’s really going on in the hearts and minds of teen girls today—especially in those wild middle school and early high school years. Kim shares practical ways dads can stop “walking on eggshells” and start building real connection: from simple rituals like breakfast dates and coffee runs, to using humor, code words, and curiosity to keep communication open instead of shutting it down. They talk about why dads’ steady love and presence are far more powerful than perfect words. Kim also breaks down tools that dads can adapt at home to support their daughters’ mindset, resilience, and self-belief. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I saying the right thing? Am I doing enough?” this conversation will help you show up with more clarity, courage, and compassion for your teenage daughter. Kim Worrell Work with Kim.

“Middle school kids really are very concrete learners. Abstract thought isn't there yet. Give them the ability to see ‘I'm not the only one having problems on page 10. I must be normal because everybody's having problems on page 10.' Or, if it is a kid who's the only one who's having a problem, let's figure out what the problem is. Let the kids have some voice in helping problem-solve rehearsal issues. The teacher is the expert, but that doesn't mean that you know everything. Sometimes a kid knows a lot of stuff, but it is just sounds different or is coming from a different angle.”Gretchen Harrison, National ACDA Chairperson for Repertoire and Resources, is a Missouri-born, Kansas-educated, veteran choral educator, conductor and clinician..  Proud to come from a strong choral music heritage, Harrison is the middle generation of a 3-generation ACDA family. She follows in her dad's footsteps as “teacher-mentor” with joy! She loves a rehearsal based on love, excellence, urgency, laughter, respect, high expectations, silliness and, hopefully, dark chocolate!  Harrison has served ACDA as State Chair for JHMS Repertoire and Standards (KS), as the National Chair for JHMS Repertoire and Standards, then Resources, as the first Youth Choirs Coordinator and, now, as the National Chair. Harrison earned degrees from Wichita State University (BME) and the University of Missouri–Kansas City (MME) and has 60+ additional hours of study. Professionally, Harrison retired after teaching public school middle school choir for 34 years. She is the 2023 recipient of the “Harry Robert Wilson Award”, an award by the Kansas ACDA chapter to recognize lifelong achievement. She is the administrator in the Allegro Choirs of Kansas City community choir program. Harrison is married to a retired band director and mom to two wonderful humans and “Gigi” to a wonderful grandson–with another on the way.  She loves her family, cooking, baking, her dog and reading.To get in touch with Gretchen, you can email her at nationalrr@acda.org, follow the ACDA Repertoire Collective Facebook page (@RepertoireResources), or find her on Facebook (@gretchen.harrison) or Instagram (@gretchenharrison).Email choirfampodcast@gmail.com to contact our hosts.Podcast music from Podcast.coPhoto in episode artwork by Trace Hudson

Logan Holloman | Next Gen Pastor | November 30, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Philippians 2:1-10 Reflection Questions: 1. Who is the most relaxing, calming person you know? What makes them feel humble? 2. Paul starts by reminding us of what we already have in Christ (encouragement, love, the Spirit). Which of those do you most need to remember right now? 3. Where do you currently see disunity (in church, family, relationships), and how might pride or self-interest be playing a role? 4. Paul defines humility as valuing others above ourselves. What is one concrete way you could “look to the interests of others” this week? 5. Jesus' descent in Philippians 2 (not grasping privilege, becoming a servant, embracing weakness, obedience) —Which part of His humility impacts you most? 6.

Bob Schwahn | Lead Pastor | November 23, 2025 Referenced Scripture: Acts 1:3-8, 1 Peter 2:12, John 4:39-42 Reflection Questions: 1. Was there something from the sermon that stood out to you? Explain. 2. When you hear that you are God's plan A to TELL the world that Jesus is King and to SHOW what the world what the Kingdom of Jesus looks like, how do you respond to that? Thoughts, emotions, desires??? Why? 3. How have you seen God use you as a witness for Jesus and His Kingdom? How would you desire to see God use you? Explain. 4. What challenges or barriers have you faced in being a witness for Jesus? What would it take for you to overcome those challenges? 5. Being a ‘witness' means we SHOW and TELL. We SHOW the world what the Kingdom of Jesus looks like and we TELL the world how to make Jesus their King. Why is both SHOWING and TELLING essential to help people come to faith in Jesus and to follow Him? 6. In Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) he outlines what His Kingdom looks like. Read through that and make observations of what the world looks like when Jesus is King.Is that a compelling vision of the world to you? Do you imagine it would be compelling to others? Explain. 7. When telling the story of your life of faith, why would it be important to share authentically (joys, challenges, questions, failures, hope)? What is the cost of not being authentic about our faith? 8. Read John 4 about the Samaritan women. What made her an unlikely candidate for being a witness for Jesus? How did God use her INVITE to change the world? 9. Read John 4:39-42 How could God use you to INVEST and INVITE someone in your world to “come and see” the King and the Kingdom?

Top Stories for November 18th Publish Date: November 18th PRE-ROLL: BUFORD HOLIDAY FESTIVAL From the BG AD Group Studio Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, November 18th and Happy Birthday to astronaut Allan Shepard I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia. The Sandwich Project celebrates milestones and welcomes new executive director Norcross receives international award for branding efforts Elementary and middle school cellphone bans proving popular, as debate moves to high schools All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen daily and subscribe! Break 1: Kia Mall of Georgia STORY 1: The Sandwich Project celebrates milestones and welcomes new executive director Before the latest government shutdown even hit, the Sandwich Project was already out there—quietly, relentlessly—feeding Atlanta’s hungry. This grassroots nonprofit, born in the chaos of 2020, has now delivered over 2.2 million sandwiches across metro Atlanta. Two million sandwiches. Let that sink in. And now, they’ve got their first executive director: Christine Cooper Nowicki, a longtime volunteer with a heart for service. “This wasn’t something I saw coming,” she admits, “but food insecurity has always been personal for me.” Every week, volunteers—families, Girl Scouts, Rotary Clubs—make 8,000 sandwiches. It’s messy, beautiful, and life-changing work. Learn more at thesandwichproject.org. STORY 2: Norcross receives international award for branding efforts Norcross just snagged a Silver Davey Award—pretty impressive, right? Out of 2,000+ global entries, this small-but-mighty city was recognized for its killer branding and communication efforts in the Government and Municipal category. The secret sauce? A partnership with Lawrenceville’s Accent Creative Group, the creative minds behind Norcross’ ads, event logos, social media, and more. “Our brand isn’t just a look,” said Mayor Craig Newton. “It’s how we tell our story.” The Davey Awards celebrate big ideas on small budgets, and Norcross nailed it—showcasing a community alive with culture, creativity, and connection. Not bad for a little city with big heart. STORY 3: Elementary and middle school cellphone bans proving popular, as debate moves to high schools Georgia high schools might soon say goodbye to cellphones, following the success of bans already in place at some schools. Starting next fall, a new law will require elementary and middle schools to lock up phones during the day. High schools aren’t included—yet. But with 92% of teachers supporting the idea, according to a Georgia Southern University survey, the push is gaining momentum. At Lakeside High in DeKalb, Principal Susan Stoddard said banning phones was a game-changer: “You heard kids talking again—actual conversations in the hallways.” Still, some parents worry about emergencies. Lawmakers? Divided. But this debate isn’t over. Not even close. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: Ingles Markets 7- Sugar Hill Holiday STORY 4: Agency seeks more power to enforce campaign finance law Georgia’s election finance watchdog wants sharper teeth, and lawmakers might just hand them over. The State Ethics Commission says it needs more power to investigate campaign finance violations—like the $300,000 fine it slapped on Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit earlier this year for failing to disclose millions in donations and spending. Sen. Bill Cowsert, who’s running for attorney general, is leading the charge. “We need transparency,” he said. “Big money shouldn’t dominate politics.” But critics call it political theater, especially with Fulton DA Fani Willis now in the committee’s crosshairs. Meanwhile, the Ethics Commission says it’s hamstrung without stronger subpoena powers. The fight’s far from over. STORY 5: Corps of Engineers says below normal rainfall could make Lake Lanier hazardous Lake Lanier’s water level is holding steady—for now. As of last week, it sat at 1,065.51 feet, just a hair above the historic median of 1,065.39 feet for this time of year. But here’s the catch: rainfall’s been scarce lately, and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is keeping a close watch. “The dry spell could mean lower levels ahead,” said Dustin Gautney from the Corps. And with Lanier’s hidden hazards—tree stumps, old roadbeds, even remnants of submerged towns—boaters and swimmers need to stay sharp. The advice? Wear your life jacket, watch for obstacles, and stay safe out there. We’ll be right back. Break 3: Sugar Hill Ice Skating Rink Final STORY 6: Loganville shooting suspect arrested in Lawrenceville A chaotic Friday afternoon unfolded as a shooting at a Loganville CVS ended with an arrest in downtown Lawrenceville. Loganville police issued a BOLO alert around 4 p.m. for a vehicle tied to a “serious incident” at the CVS on Atlanta Highway, where a woman had been shot in the head. Critical condition. No name released. Lawrenceville’s FLOCK cameras flagged the car near the Square. Officers swarmed West Crogan Street, shields up, and arrested the driver without a fight. The suspect’s name? Still under wraps. The victim? Airlifted to Grady. It’s a mess, and the investigation is ongoing. STORY 7: State raises red flags in Gwinnett Schools' CCRPI report Gwinnett County Public Schools is celebrating some wins in college and career readiness—but the state’s latest report card tells a more complicated story. Sure, GCPS outperformed Georgia in seven areas, mostly in elementary and middle schools. But high schools? They’re lagging. The only bright spot there is content mastery. And across all levels, the district is struggling to close gaps, especially in English Language Arts. Red flags? Plenty. Targets missed for multiple demographics—African-American, Hispanic, economically disadvantaged, and more. Progress scores for high schools dropped by over 10 points. The takeaway? There’s work to do. Wins are great, but gaps can’t be ignored.

Middle school marks a pivotal time as students transition from one primary teacher to several, face increasing academic expectations, and start seeking greater independence. It's also a season when parents shift from manager to coach, learning to balance autonomy with meaningful guidance. Dawn Sullivan, a Classical Academy middle school teacher, shares insights on how families can nurture executive functioning skills during this critical period. She offers practical approaches such as modeling organization, establishing routines, weekly schedule reviews, and encouraging students to communicate directly with teachers. As students transition to high school, Dawn outlines how parents can gradually assume a mentor role, equipping teens to handle increasingly complex responsibilities with confidence.
