Namari Dance Center students open “From Africa to America” June 19 at City Springs with a dance number to “Mary Don’t You Weep.” Artist Curtis Pittman, left, cheers as local philanthropist and business leader Sunny Park, right, and his family cut the ribbon Nov. 11 on Veterans Park’s new sculpture — “Be the Light.” The Veterans Day ceremonies in Sandy Springs also saw the unveiling of Kevin Chambers’ “Three Generations” at the park.
Madison and Mackenzie Saldana check out Sandy Springs Fire Department Tower 52 with Fire Apparatus Engineer Storck at the National Night Out on the City Green at City Springs Aug. 6. The event, billed as a “Back to School Bash,” drew hundreds. Sandy Springs resident Jenn Lott, a parent of Spalding Drive Elementary graduates, seeks to address Fulton County Schools staff at a public forum on redistricting held Nov. 4 at Riverwood International Charter School. Lott said the process feels “very rushed.”
