The Furniture Bank's mission is to create stability for families and individuals in need by distributing donated furniture to turn their houses into homes. Our vision is for every family to have the furniture they need.

In 2019 alone, over 5000 people who had been sleeping on the floor went home with a mattress from the Furniture Bank. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, those families now have sofas for relaxing and tables for enjoying meals and time together, along with other household furniture to make their house a home. We are grateful to our community, without whom we could not do the work we do.

Fluency Matters! Join us for an engaging Parent Workshop focused on reading fluency and how you can support your child’s reading success at home.

🗓 Thursday, January 15
🕦 11:30 AM & 🕒 3:00 PM

📖 What Is Fluency?
Fluency is a child’s ability to read accurately, smoothly, and with expression. Strong fluency helps students better understand what they read and build confidence as readers.

🌟 During This Workshop, Parents Will Learn:

• the rules for reading with fluency (stopping or pausing for punctuation marks and reading at a good speed with an expressive voice).
• how to select the most appropriate sentences from a book their child is reading in order to practice reading with fluency.
• how to model fluent reading and provide guidance during choral and independent oral reading.

Clayton County Public Schools invites community members to make a meaningful impact through two vital volunteer programs:

Village On Patrol (VOP): This program empowers community stakeholders to actively support safety in our elementary, middle, and high schools by assisting with the enforcement of district safety protocols. Volunteers play a crucial role in maintaining a secure and welcoming learning environment for students and staff.

Sitting At the Feet of Our Elders (SAFE): Designed for volunteers aged 55 and older, SAFE is a mentoring program focused on literacy support in elementary schools. Volunteers also contribute their time and experience to district events and programs, enriching the educational journey of our young learners.

These programs provide valuable opportunities for community involvement, fostering a strong partnership between our schools and those dedicated to student success.

CCPS Announces 2025 Summer Learning Academy - Registration Opens February 14, 2025

Clayton County Public Schools is pleased to announce the launch of the Summer Learning Academy (SLA) Program. This program will begin on June 2, 2025, and continue through June 25, 2025, excluding Fridays and Juneteenth (June 19th).

The SLA will offer reading, writing, math, and STEM education for students in grades K-8. It will target academic gaps, teach foundational skills in math and literacy, and emphasize critical thinking through real-world problem-solving in STEM.

The SLA program is available to currently enrolled CCPS students in grades PreK - 8th. We provide breakfast, lunch, and transportation. SLA Registration opens February 14, 2025, and remains open through March 9, 2025. Parents can apply for the SLA programs using https://applyclayton.schoolmint.com/login. Parents will need to create a SchoolMint account if they do not already have one. To do so, they will need their child’s CCPS student ID number for account creation and registration.

We encourage you to register early because availability is limited. Parents and guardians will receive information via email regarding their child's assigned summer learning program, along with pertinent details, such as bus routes, instructional timings, and more. We will communicate this information prior to the end of the school year.

New Eyes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1932 to improve the vision of those in financial need in the United States. We provide the transformative tool of eyeglasses to children and adults facing financial difficulty across the U.S.

Here is the link: https://new-eyes.org/application

New Eyes assists low-income individuals in the United States. We provide a basic pair of eyeglasses with single or lined bifocal lenses.

Applicants must have an eyeglasses prescription dated within the last 24 months, including their pupillary distance (PD) measurement.

Applications are submitted online. It is optimal for social service agencies/health advocates to apply on a client’s behalf.

However, individuals who do not have access to an agency may apply directly but must provide proof of eligibility.

Each application has a $10 non-refundable application fee for administrative costs.

If the application is approved, a unique e-voucher number is emailed with a link to our eyeglass ordering site and instructions on how to order eyeglasses.

Approved applicants must order their glasses through New Eyes' online eyeglasses dispenser at neweyesglasses.org.

For further questions, please email us at info@new-eyes.org

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
New Eyes for the Needy purchases basic prescription eyeglasses for people in need in the U.S. through a well-established voucher program. Eligible clients can apply for a voucher through a social service agency, welfare worker or a school nurse. Clients can present a New Eyes voucher to any participating local optical dispenser, who fits the client with the proper prescription eyeglasses. The dispenser then receives reimbursement directly from New Eyes.
