ECCC PTA Current E-news

There are two sample copies of SPLOST articles below: one Abby Shiffman and I worked on for the East Cobber that is general to Cobb County and one that schools can customize if they want with school specific information. Either can be used in newsletters or e-newsletters. Please distribute to your LUs. These are articles that can go in newsletters that go home on school buses.  They are information articles not promotional articles. Thanks,
