Warnock: "Thoughts and prayers are not enough. In fact, it is a contradiction to say you are thinking and praying and then do nothing. It is to make a mockery of prayer. It is to trivialize faith."

@_ericcarpenter1 Ha! Pilkey is all over our house. This is making me laugh b/c my Pilkey-loving 3rd grader was looking at my laptop tonight—curious as to all the numbers. I asked if he had seen Excel and he looked at me crazy and ran away.

At @AchieveAtlanta we’ve seen the positive impact of need-based aid on students’ college persistence & completion. More students pursuing their postsecondary goals is good for students, their community, & the state. Check out our call for need-based aid across GA!

[Tina Fernandez @TvFernandez]

Let's call on the #Georgia General Assembly to increase need-based aid to #CollegeStudents. Our state's economic future depends on more of our historically underserved students earning postsecondary degrees #CollegeSuccess @AJCGetSchooled guest column
