Welcome to Polk CountyWelcome

How hot is it outside today? We have already had a year of record breaking temperatures for highs and lows. Thankfully in Georgia, if you don’t like the weather, you only have to wait a few days for a change. We have a great lineup of activities planned in Polk County this summer. Read, Read, Read! Take the family to one of the local libraries and expand their minds with a good book or take in a puppet show. You can also take a day trip to Seaborn Jones Park in downtown Rockmart to play in the Euharlee Creek, have a picnic or hop on the Silver Comet trail for a lei-surely bike ride to Cedartown. While you are in Cedartown, why not see a movie at West Theatre or take a walk around Peek Park while the kids enjoy the play center. If you get too hot, the fountain at Peek Park is spouting ice cold water four times a day!

Looking for something the whole family can enjoy, mark your calendars for the 34th Annual Homespun Festival in down-town Rockmart on July 15-16, 2011. Friday night is Gospel night, so bring a lawn chair to listen to some great Southern gospel music headlined by Heirborn. Southern Thunder per-forms “that good ol’ rock n’ roll” on stage Saturday night. The Floyd EMS fireworks display offers a spectacular close to Homespun 2011 at 10 pm. During both days there will be pony rides and a climbing wall, bouncy slides and spinning spiders. Make sure you come with a big appetite for turkey legs, pizza, gyros, BBQ, fish, chicken and so much more.

School ZoneLinking Learning…One Penny at a Time

by Debbie Freeman

Leslie Davis (pictured below), Rockmart High School student, had an opportunity to make a difference for her school. Ms. Davis submitted the winning design for the “Spirit Pump” at the Raceway Gas Station in Rockmart. What began with a simple

telephone call from the dis-trict manager for Raceway Petroleum in Georgia turned into a class project for three teachers at Rockmart High School last spring.

Dewayne Nowell, District Manager for Raceway Pe-troleum contacted DeAnna Williams, RHS Assistant Prin-cipal. He discussed the idea of dedicating a gas pump to Rockmart High School. The school would receive one cent per gallon for gas pumped from the pump. RHS Principal Teresa Tread-away and Ms. Williams ap-proached three teachers about the possibility of orga-

nizing this opportunity into a collaborative project. The “Spirit Pump” Project was born.

Teachers Janet Dover, Business and Computer Science Department; Sally Hagge, Art Department; and Melissa Moody, Marketing Department, designed a class project to create an appropriate design for The “Spirit Pump.“ The final product would need to reflect artistic talent, marketing strategies, and promote the sale of gasoline at this particular pump. Students were given time in class to work on a design for the gas pump and Ms. Davis combined her skills acquired as a student in the three classes to submit the winning entry.

Leslie Davis is a freshman at RHS. She is an active Future Business Leader of America member and has competed at Region Competition placing first place in Word Processing. She has received awards from the FBLA National Office for completing two Business Achievement Award programs and she will serve as the RHS FBLA Reporter next year. Always remember, “linking learning” pays off!

Fun and Learning at the Library

"Cedartown Library is having a very successful Summer Reading Program," said Sharon Cleveland, library branch manager. This year the theme is

“One World, Many Stories.” Over 1,000 children and teens participated in vari-ous programs such as StoryHour, Teen Tuesdays, a community wide scavenger hunt, and craft activities. Teen volunteers decorated the library windows with paintings of famous world landmarks. Volunteers were also responsible for manning the Reading Registration desks for teens and children as well as help-ing our staff shelve the thousands of books, movies, and audio-books checked out during June and July, commented Sharon. “We are grateful for the local businesses and families that sponsored our profes-sional shows and prizes,” said Sharon.

“The summer reading program at the Rockmart Library is booming!” said Ann Wheeler, library branch manager. “OneWorld Many Stories” and “You Are Here” are the themes for the library’s summer programs. “Opening day was a huge success,” commented Ann. Volunteers from the community donated their time to the library not only on opening day, but for other tasks as well. Summer programming has drawn large audi-ences with 221 attending Keith Karnok, magician. Ron Anglin, circus performer, played to a packed house. “Our Storytimes, workshops and crafts have been well attended as well.” said Ann. “Do-nations from our sponsors make these programs possible.”
