An Athens elementary school has moved to virtual learning due to an increase in COVID-19 positive cases and quarantine.
At Chase Street Elementary School, a total of eight positive COVID-19 cases were reported, causing 114 students to need to quarantine.
On Friday, students moved to a virtual learning format and it will continue all next week. School officials expect students to return to the building on May 17.
In a letter to families, school officials said that contact tracers determined that the cases were due to community exposure. If a child at the school tests positive, the parents are asked to notify principal Angela Jackson, principal Tracy Neal, or the school nurse immediately at 706-543-1081.
Seated at the console of his home recording studio in Winder, Darrin Ellison queues up a pair of tracks he’s been working on lately, one of which was left open from the previous night.
One is a hard-edged hip-hop banger that would get club-goers jumping, the other a hook-heavy love song that sounds like it could go right into radio rotation.
Both are among the 500 songs Ellison, better known by his stage name “Elite Tha Showstoppa,” has amassed over the years that remain unreleased. Ellison says that could soon change.
“I’ve never released an album,” said Ellison. “That’s something I’ve always wanted to do, and it’s one of my primary goals now.”
