A key piece of legislation that would strengthen the rights of our apartment neighbors still hangs in the balance. Highlighted in our blog in February, House Bill would establish some basic protections for renters. It is now up to Lt. Burt Jones to put the bill up for a vote before the end of today. On Friday, February 24, Sandy Springs Together and Sandy Springs Charter Middle School partnered to highlight some, of the many, Black leaders who are making a positive impact within our community by hosting the Celebrating Black Excellence panel discussion for middle school students.
This event brought together local Black leaders, from a variety of professions, to share with students how they achieved personal success and to give students advice on achieving their own goals.
A common theme among the stories shared by the panelists was that success requires you to challenge yourself. Sandy Springs Together is proud to work with our community partners to hold events such as the Celebrating Black Excellence panel discussion.
Events like these introduce our students to leaders in Sandy Springs who are making important contributions to society and giving back to the community. Sandy Springs Together looks forward to collaborating on future events with our local partners in order to help our entire community to imagine a better Sandy Springs for all!
On February 7, and in August of , we published two blogs that highlight the challenges Sandy Springs is facing due to negligence on the part of the management of some of our apartment communities regarding maintenance requests.
