There's a lot of buzz about our next live exploration! In collaboration with the University of Georgia, GPB Education will be live streaming from the State Botanical Garden of Georgia in Athens on May 9th at 10 AM ET. This half-hour show is aligned to Georgia science standards for students in grades 3-8.
During a live ceremony on Saturday, June 18th, in Atlanta, GPB Education took home two Southeast Emmy Awards presented by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Southeast chapter. "Hope Givers: They Missed Out on All This" won Outstanding Achievement in Children/Youth/Teen - Long Form Content and "Georgia Peanuts Live Exploration" won Outstanding Achievement in Informational/Instructional - Long Form Content.
Ten people filed for 12 of the 20 town and six school positions opening up.
One person who is not running for re-election, Town Moderator Deborah Fauver, shared in an email Tuesday that while âIâve decided not to run again, but I have recruited a great replacement. Then she added mysteriously: âYouâll have to wait for the sign-up period to find out who it is.â
That person is attorney Chris Meier, a partner with Cooper Cargill Chant in North Conway, which is the same firm where Fauver works as a lawyer specializing in estate planning.
Meier, who also serves on the board of the MWV Trails Association, joked with Conway Town Clerk Louise Inkell on Wednesday that Fauver personally escorted me hereâ to make sure he signed up.
