STORY 2: Mill Creek Grad Natalia Herrera Earns NCAA Postgraduate Internship
Buford native Natalia Herrera, a graduate student and former softball player from Georgia Southwestern State University, has begun a prestigious yearlong NCAA Postgraduate Internship. Selected from nearly 1,000 applicants, Herrera is the first GWS student-athlete and Peach Belt Conference representative in the program. The internship offers training and insights into college sports administration, focusing on ethnic minorities, women, and former student-athletes. Based in Indianapolis, Herrera will work in NCAA Division III governance and expressed gratitude for the support from her community and GSW.
STORY 3: Gwinnett’s Eastern Greenway Trailhead and Apalachee Pump Station is Now Open
Residents of eastern Gwinnett can now enjoy over two miles of the new Eastern Regional Greenway Trail, which officially opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The trail, part of the Eastern Regional Infrastructure project, will eventually extend to 5.25 miles, running along the Apalachee River and passing under major roads. Located at 2892 Harbins Road, the trailhead features a play area, pavilion, restrooms, seating, and parking. The infrastructure project also includes significant upgrades to water and sewer systems to support the growing population and the Rowen knowledge community development.

Break 2: TOM WAGES
STORY 4: Breakfast Is Now Free At All Title I Schools In Gwinnett
For the 2024-2025 school year, students at 76 Gwinnett County Title I schools will receive free breakfast through the federal Special Assistance Alternative Provision 2 program. This initiative allows all students at these schools, where many already qualify for free or reduced meals, to enjoy free breakfasts. The program, part of the USDA’s National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, supports districts financially while ensuring no loss in meal variety. The decision to only apply the program to breakfasts is to avoid impacting Title I status, which depends on free and reduced meal applications.
STORY 5: Harris picks Minnesota governor Walz as running mate
Kamala Harris selected Minnesota Governor Tim Walz as her running mate in her bid for the White House. Walz, a 60-year-old Midwesterner, was chosen to balance the ticket and counter Republican attacks on Harris's left-leaning image. This choice aims to broaden Harris's appeal and includes a strong campaign strategy with a five-day swing through key battleground states. Harris, who recently secured the Democratic nomination, faces Trump in a closely contested race, with her campaign focusing on contrasting Trump’s record and appealing to voters with a progressive yet practical agenda.
