PUBLISHER’S NOTE A Season of Gratitude November always seems to arrive with a gentle reminder to slow down, look around and appreciate the people and places that make our community so special. Between the busy schedules, holiday preparations and everyday hustle, it’s easy to overlook just how much we have to be thankful for. Here at EAST COBBER, November is one of my favorite issues to put together. Our annual Private School Guide offers families a look at the many educational opportunities available in and around East Cobb. Choosing the right school is an important decision, and we hope this guide helps parents explore their options and find the best fit for their children. We’re also still smiling from last month’s EAST COBBER Parade & Festival! What a wonderful day celebrating our community. From the marching bands and parade participants to the local businesses, volunteers and families who joined us, it was another reminder of what makes East Cobb such a special place to call home. To everyone who helped make our 28th annual celebration possible, THANK YOU! We couldn’t do it without you. As we head into the holiday season, I also encourage you to remember our locally owned businesses. These are the people who sponsor our school teams, donate to fundraisers, support community events and help give East Cobb its unique character. When you shop, dine or hire local, you’re doing more than making a purchase – you’re investing in your neighbors. And, of course, November is a time for family, friends and traditions. Whether you’re gathering around a crowded Thanksgiving table, cheering on your favorite football team or simply enjoying a little time together, I hope this month brings plenty of reasons to be grateful. After 33 years of sharing East Cobb’s stories, I remain especially thankful for our readers, advertisers and the wonderful community that continues to support EAST COBBER. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!

LASSITER PERCUSSION TAKES CENTER STAGE AT PRESTIGIOUS MIDWEST CLINIC
hirty-one talented musicians from Lassiter High School are preparing for the performance of a lifetime after earning an invitation to the prestigious Midwest Clinic in Chicago on December 18.
Among the highlights is Norrskens Dans, an exhilarating composition featuring three musicians performing approximately 640 notes per minute during a demanding three-minute passage.
Recognized as one of the world’s premier instrumental music education conferences, the Midwest Clinic selects just five percussion ensembles annually from an international pool of applicants. For Lassiter, the invitation represents an extraordinary achievement and another milestone in the school’s celebrated musical legacy.
For Director of Bands James E. Thompson Jr., the invitation reflects Lassiter’s longstanding commitment to excellence. “This invitation speaks to the extraordinary skill, commitment, and artistry of our students,” Thompson said.
What makes this accomplishment even more remarkable is how it began.
The achievement continues a musical tradition spanning more than four decades, building upon the foundation established by former directors Alfred Watkins and Mike Lynch.
Percussion Director Kyle Parciany decided to apply just two weeks before the submission deadline. With one recording already available, students had only 14 days to learn, rehearse and record a challenging 12-minute composition.
Before departing for Chicago, the community can experience the ensemble’s remarkable talent at two concerts: November 30 with Kennesaw State University and December 3 at Lassiter, featuring the complete Midwest program.
Despite the odds, they embraced the challenge, ultimately submitting a recording made on Parciany’s iPhone in Lassiter’s orchestra room.
Beyond the performance, Parciany, a Chicago native, looks forward to sharing his hometown with students, including visits to iconic attractions and a celebratory deep-dish pizza dinner.
When the acceptance arrived in April, Parciany waited until students returned from spring break to share the exciting news. “They were ecstatic,” he recalled. “I absolutely love that they worked extra hard and then got rewarded for their hard work.” Now, the ensemble is preparing an ambitious 45-minute program featuring eight compositions, including newly written and rarely performed works. Students rehearse at least six hours weekly after school, in addition to daily percussion classes and individual practice. www.eastcobber.com
Most importantly, he hopes the experience inspires a lifelong love of music. “When the students take the stage in December, I will be nothing but proud,” Parciany said. With the support of dedicated families, educators and the East Cobb community, these young musicians will proudly represent Lassiter, Cobb County and Georgia on an international stage—proving that extraordinary accomplishments begin with hard work, determination and the courage to try.

EAST COBBER PARADE & FESTIVAL CELEBRATES 28 YEARS OF COMMUNITY SPIRIT n Saturday, October 3, the East Cobb community came together once again to celebrate one of its most beloved hometown traditions—the 28th annual EAST COBBER Parade & Festival. More than 1,200 participants representing 80 groups filled Johnson Ferry Road with excitement, colorful displays and an unmistakable sense of community pride.
The parade stepped off at 10am from Mt. Bethel Elementary School as enthusiastic spectators lined the streets, many arriving early to secure their favorite viewing spots. Families enjoyed a lively procession featuring colorful floats, the Wheeler High School marching band and cheerleaders, talented performers of all ages, playful mascots, civic organizations, twirlers and vintage automobiles. East Cobb schools were proudly represented, with principals, Teachers of the Year and Classified Employees of the Year receiving well-deserved recognition. And, true to its nickname, “The Candy Parade,” participants delighted children and adults alike by tossing and handing out sweet treats along the route. The celebration continued immediately following the parade as thousands gathered at the EAST COBBER Festival in the Johnson Ferry Baptist Church parking lot. Festivalgoers enjoyed meeting local business owners, exploring community exhibits, watching entertaining performances, participating in raffles and watching children bounce their hearts out on the inflatable attractions. Richard Lo of DJ Sound Hound Entertainment kept the energy high with music throughout the festivities. Special thanks go to the Cobb County Police Department and Cobb County Sheriff’s Office for helping ensure a safe and enjoyable event. EAST COBBER also extends its sincere appreciation to sponsors Plumb Doctor, Wood Acres School of Marietta and Custom Disposal for their generous support in keeping this cherished tradition alive. For 28 years, the EAST COBBER Parade & Festival has brought neighbors, families, schools and businesses together to celebrate everything that makes East Cobb a wonderful place to call home. This year’s festivities were another reminder that community spirit is alive and well in East Cobb!
MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR 2027!
The 29th annual EAST COBBER Parade & Festival is scheduled for Saturday, September 11, 2027, and planning is already underway! We are seeking businesses and community partners interested in sponsoring this special hometown tradition. Sponsorship offers a unique opportunity to showcase your business, connect with thousands of East Cobb residents and support an event that brings our community together year after year.

PRIVATE SCHOOL GUIDE
CHOOSING A PRIVATE SCHOOL The reasons cited over and over again by families who send their children to private schools include individual attention, small classes, teacher excellence, and high academic standards. Your decision to consider an independent/private school is just the beginning. While private schools set high standards and emphasize values, they are wonderfully distinct from each other. There are day and boarding schools; coeducational, girls’ and boys’ schools. Enrollment varies from a few dozen to a few thousand students. Some independent schools are progressive, others more traditional in structure. Private schools also serve a varying range of students in terms of abilities and interests. Some schools offer special programs such as intensified instruction in fine and performing arts, experiential learning projects, or travel abroad seminars. Many schools excel at rigorous intellectual preparation; others are dedicated to average learners; and some specialize in teaching bright students with learning disabilities. Since each of these schools has something unique to offer, ideally you are trying to match a student’s needs with the appropriate school. Write or call the admissions office for published information about a school’s philosophy and programs, and then make an appointment to visit.
If you haven’t done so already, contact each potential school for information dealing with philosophy, curriculum, extracurricular offerings, admission process, and financing options. Compare each school’s literature with the items on your list; this should give you a preliminary sense of which schools are a good match. Take into account what type of environment would be best for your child and consider his or her individual strengths as you examine each school’s program. The best time to apply is in the fall preceding the academic year of the student’s admission; however, applications are considered throughout the school year. Most schools will require a personal interview, admissions testing, and information from your child’s current school. Ask the individual school for the details of its application procedures and testing dates. In short, choosing the right school for your child is likely the most important single decision you might make in terms of setting the proper path and direction for life. A little preparation and research on the part of parents will go miles toward making the ultimate destination clear at the exit ramp.

BOOK CLUB
TRENDING IN BOOK CLUBS: SOMETIMES WE BREAK UP By Aileen Swartz
N
ot every book club lives happily ever after. Some lose their spark, stumble through awkward meetings and become the literary equivalent of the walking dead. Catherine’s book club began just over a year ago when friends gathered to celebrate a birthday. Their conversation turned to books, and they realized that meeting monthly would be a fun way to stay connected. Catherine chose a convenient schedule, and the group focused on light reads that weren’t too lengthy.
At first, everything seemed to be thriving. Each of the six original friends brought another person, doubling the group’s size. Without a membership cap, additional people occasionally joined, and the numbers climbed quickly. Before long, it became difficult to have one conversation around the table. Members gravitated toward smaller groups, and some original connections began to fade. The women came from diverse backgrounds, adding flavor to their conversations. For the most part, everyone remained respectful when discussing differing political opinions. Spouses occasionally joined Christmas, New Year’s and Fourth of July celebrations, although regular meetings were primarily for the women and their friends.
over time, it became clear that the responsibility for organizing and hosting wasn’t being shared equally,” Catherine explains. Some members felt that opening their homes, cleaning, and providing food and drinks required more effort than meeting at a restaurant, where everyone simply paid their own tabs. Without clear expectations, tensions over responsibilities grew. As members voiced their concerns, differences over how the club should operate became difficult to resolve. Eventually, several members decided the arrangement wasn’t working for them and left. Bit by bit, others followed until the once-lively club dissolved. But this story may not be headed for a permanent grave. After reading this column and gathering ideas from thriving East Cobb book clubs, Catherine hopes to resurrect her group with a few original members, some new faces, and clearer expectations for hosting and organizing meetings. A book club breakup doesn’t have to be the end. Sometimes a pinch of drama is just what a good story needs before its next chapter.
But then came the hosting issue. Whoever selected the book also served as hostess. Meetings initially took place in members’ homes, but eventually, some preferred restaurants. “We started out meeting in people’s homes, but we never established a regular hosting schedule. Some members preferred meeting at restaurants, and

HELP MAKE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON THE BEST FOR YOU AND YOUR DOG! By Kris Hale with Best in Dog
T
he holidays can be hectic for all of us, including our dogs. Even the most even-tempered, socially well-adjusted dogs may experience stress during the holiday season. Here are tips to help your canine buddy navigate some obstacles, and help everyone have more joy this year, and less stress. Routines are often altered this time of year. There may be visitors, a change in the work and school schedule, and/or travel. Try to stick to a routine as much as possible.
Watch for signs of stress or overexcitement. For a shy dog, it is important to introduce them to new guests slowly. If your dog is stressed or getting over excited, provide them with a space they can retreat to with something calming they can do—like licking or chewing. While your dog may not normally get over excited or stressed when visitors come over, with the added excitement of opening presents, eating, or playing games, they just may. This is especially true if they haven’t gone on their daily walk or had dinner yet. And then there are the yummy holiday meals; while some foods may be okay for your pup to eat (such as plain turkey, pumpkin, and sweet potatoes), changing their diet drastically or feeding them too much rich food may upset their tummy. Make sure you put all foods, especially desserts—including chocolate, and other toxic foods—out of your dog’s reach. Do not leave them out on the counter. You may find yourself and Fido at the emergency vet instead of enjoying a cup of eggnog by the fire!
Keep toxic plants, like holly and mistletoe safely out of reach. And remember to supervise your dog around Christmas trees, candles, the fireplace, lights and other holiday decorations. Even better, manage your space to keep them away from these items altogether. Whew, that is a lot to think about, but planning ahead will help everyone enjoy the holiday season! And that cup of eggnog by the fire. Happy Holidays!
If your dog likes to chew things and destroy toys, remember to put away presents that they may find appealing. If you give your dog a present, supervise them with it, to make sure they do not destroy it. www.eastcobber.com

WHAT DOES YOUR SMILE SAY ABOUT YOU? Have you ever noticed how much you can learn about someone before they even say a word? A smile can communicate warmth, confidence, humor, intelligence, approachability, and even a sense of adventure. It can put others at ease, make a first impression memorable, and light up a room. Your smile is one of the first things people notice about you and is one of the most powerful ways you connect with the world. But what if you find yourself holding back your smile? Perhaps your teeth are discolored, crowded, worn, chipped, or simply not what they used to be. You may cover your mouth when you laugh or feel less confident in photographs. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re

not alone, and you may have more options than you realize. Enhancing your smile doesn’t necessarily mean undergoing a dramatic transformation. Sometimes, professional teeth whitening is all it takes to brighten your appearance. Straightening teeth can be done gently with Invisalign while porcelain veneers or other cosmetic restorations can improve the shape, color, and symmetry of teeth that need more attention. The goal isn’t to give everyone the same perfect smile…it’s to create a healthy, natural-looking smile that complements your face and reflects who you are.
flossing, routine dental visits, a healthy diet, and addressing small problems before they become bigger ones can help protect your teeth for years to come. Preventive care today may mean less extensive dental work tomorrow. Your smile tells a story long before you speak. Whether you want to maintain the smile you’ve always loved or finally make a change you’ve been considering for years, it’s worth asking yourself: Does my smile reflect the person I want the world to see? Sometimes, a small change can make a big difference - not just in how your smile looks, but in how freely you share it!
Of course, one of the best ways to preserve a youthful smile is to take care of it early. Consistent brushing and

COBB STUDENT’S ROAD TO RECOVERY LEADS TO UNFORGETTABLE ATLANTA UNITED SURPRISE
S
ixth grader Evan Davis is inspiring his Cobb County School District community with a remarkable story of resilience after surviving a traumatic brain injury and multiple broken bones in a March 2025 car accident. At just 10 years old, Evan was traveling with his father to soccer practice when the accident occurred. After two weeks without opening his eyes, Evan began a long recovery that required him to relearn how to walk, talk, and breathe independently. Throughout his journey, Evan repeated a message of determination to his family: “I am strong, I’m brave, I’m fierce, and I never, ever, ever give up.” Now an honor roll student at Mabry Middle School, Evan continues to inspire classmates and staff while working toward a return to the soccer field. He is also a Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta Miracle Kid, sharing his story to encourage others facing difficult challenges. “It’s showing other kids that things can be hard and tough, but you can still go through your life and be successful,” said school nurse Sam Stephens.
24 November 2026
Evan’s perseverance recently earned him a once-in-alifetime experience with Atlanta United. During the team’s match against New York City FC, Evan designed the jersey numbers worn by players, incorporating his own drawings of soccer goals, robots, and other designs. He also served as honorary team captain, walked onto the field with the players, and presented the match ball to officials. “We are just so proud of him and so honored and thankful for all of these incredible opportunities he’s been given so that he can turn around and help others,” said his mother, Robyn Davis. When Evan returned to school the following week, Mabry Principal Dr. Jonathan Tanner presented him with the Heart of Mabry Award. A plaque honoring Evan will be displayed at the school, celebrating his positive mindset, determination, and ability to overcome adversity. Despite ongoing headaches and physical pain, Evan continues to pursue his goals, demonstrating that resilience can help turn even life’s most difficult moments into an opportunity to inspire others.

PRIME PICKLEBALL CLUB: A FATHER AND SON BUILD A PLACE TO PLAY
C
obb County natives Tom and Jackson Webb are opening a 12-court indoor club in Kennesaw in early 2027 — and the first 300 founding members can lock in their rate today.
Tom Webb has spent more than two decades building commercial properties across metro Atlanta. His son, Jackson, spent four years working right beside him. Now the fatherand-son team is putting that experience to work on the most personal project of their careers: a home for pickleball in the community where they both grew up.
the 1980s, rounds out the ownership group. For Tom, Prime is more than a business. It is a chance to build something meaningful with family and friends, and to give the community that raised them a place to come together.
TWELVE COURTS, RAIN OR SHINE
Jackson and Tom Webb (left to right) stand at the construction site of Prime Pickleball Club in Kennesaw. The father-and-son team plans to open the 12-court indoor facility in early 2027, bringing year-round pickleball and fitness opportunities to Cobb County.
Anyone who has waited out a Georgia thunderstorm or a July heat index in the triple digits knows the limits of outdoor courts. Prime’s 12 indoor courts take weather off the table, so members can play year-round.
Prime Pickleball Club, set to open in early 2027 at 2039 Vaughn Road in Kennesaw, will offer 12 indoor courts and a full fitness center under one roof. For the Webbs, the club is about more than the fastest-growing sport in America. It is about giving back to Cobb County.
The club will be open Monday through Saturday from 6am-10pm, and Sunday from 11am-7pm. That makes room for a pre-work game, a lunch-hour drill or a late match with friends. Members can book courts in advance during applicable hours.
A FAMILY BUSINESS, BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP.
A full fitness center sits alongside the courts. Members can warm up, cross-train or simply get a workout in without a second gym membership.
Jackson Webb, a Georgia Tech graduate who played baseball for the Yellow Jackets, first picked up a paddle in 2016. By 2022 he was hooked. What struck him most was how the game pulled together people of every age and skill level, from retirees to college students to families playing on a Saturday morning. After four years in commercial development and construction alongside his father, Jackson saw a chance to combine the family trade with a shared passion. The two set out to build something special from the ground up, in both senses of the phrase. Tom Webb calls himself more of a recreational player, but his enthusiasm for the sport matches his son’s. He loves that pickleball creates a place where competition and friendship go hand in hand. With more than 20 years in commercial development, Tom focuses on the club’s financial management and long-term success. Jackson oversees daily operations and the member experience, and expects to be on site most days. The club is a family affair in more ways than one. Tom’s daughter, Ashley Toney, serves as vice president and oversees programming and member engagement. Co-founder Kirk Wilkerson, Tom’s best friend since www.eastcobber.com
Instruction will be led by head pro Danny Alea, a professional-level PPR-certified coach and Kennesaw State marketing graduate. Alea spent 20 years teaching tennis at clubs including Terminus Club and Atlanta Health and Racquet before turning to pickleball. He has become a familiar face in the Cobb County pickleball scene, with several tournament wins to his name. Whether players are brand new or chasing a higher rating, the club plans member programming and events to match.
BE ONE OF THE FIRST 300
Doors don’t open until early 2027, but memberships are already on sale. Prime is offering founding memberships to its first 300 members for a $10 deposit. No monthly dues are charged until the club officially opens, and founding members keep their rate once it does. To reserve a membership or learn more, visit primepickleball.com or call 770-615-6020. Updates are also posted on the club’s Facebook and Instagram pages at @theprimepickleball.

THANKSGIVING TRADITION RETURNS TO MARIETTA SQUARE
or thousands of Cobb County families, Thanksgiving morning starts somewhere other than the kitchen. It starts on Marietta Square, surrounded by runners, walkers, strollers, turkey hats and plenty of holiday spirit for the 24th Annual Gobble Jog benefiting MUST Ministries.

SPARKLE SUCCESS STORY
I
By Ginger Markert-Brusa
t has been many years since Joan Smith has felt good about herself. Joan is 58. She began Sparkle Wellness in November of 2025, and lost 44 pounds. Joan shares with us more about her wellness journey.
HOW DID YOU FIND SPARKLE WELLNESS, AND WHAT MADE YOU DECIDE TO CHANGE?
I tried five or six programs over the past decade without success. One of my closest friends started Sparkle and her success inspired me. I decided it could not hurt to give it a try, and I am so glad I did.
WHAT CHANGED IN YOUR EATING HABITS?
Almost everything changed in my eating habits. Before joining Sparkle, I ate whatever I wanted without thought to ingredients or nutritional value. I ate a lot of prepackaged, convenient, fast food. Now I am intentional about reading labels and choosing better options.
WHAT SIMPLE STEPS HELPED YOU SUCCEED?
I began reading ingredient labels and keeping track of what I ate daily. I have given up drinking soda, and I drink a lot of water instead. I have been intentional about eating more fruits and vegetables.
WHAT IS YOUR CURRENT EXERCISE ROUTINE?
I walk almost every day and aim for 10,000 steps. In the beginning, I did not really enjoy it. Now, it is a huge part of my day, and I even look forward to it. I have recently begun focusing on strength training three days a week. Honestly, I am not at the point of enjoying and looking forward to strength training, but I trust I will.
WHAT WAS YOUR BIGGEST CHALLENGE, AND HOW DID YOU WORK THROUGH IT?
The biggest challenge was giving up soda and removing caffeine. I just kept at it, little by little, replacing old habits with new ones. By avoiding fast food drivethroughs, I have been able to stay away from soda and eat healthier homemade options. It is a real win-win.
WHAT HELPED YOU STAY COMMITTED AND REACH YOUR GOAL?
Having Jacynta as a personal coach and being around the other women in Sparkle have encouraged me and held me accountable. We are a group of people going through similar circumstances, making healthy changes, and cheering each other on. I have learned so much. There is always someone to share a tip, recipe, or word of encouragement.
WHAT ARE YOUR TOP TIPS FOR OTHERS?
It is never too late to make a positive change in your health habits. Find a friend, a family member, a group, www.eastcobber.com

or community to help encourage you in your journey. Drink more water. Eat more non-processed food. Move your body. Take pride and pleasure in the little successes along the way.
HOW HAS YOUR LIFE CHANGED?
Over the last year I have made lots of changes, learning and implementing healthier habits. My pantry and shopping habits look very different. I can move much easier while hiking and carrying grandbabies upstairs. I finally feel good about how I look. I actually enjoy clothes shopping again. I am proud of my success!
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE YOU WANT READERS TO KNOW?
I am not perfect with every food choice I make, but I keep trying. I have been thrilled with my progress and all the support I have received. My only regret is not doing this sooner. ‘Not doing it sooner’ is what we hear most.

SENIORS
HELPING OUR SENIORS STAY INDEPENDENT AND CONNECTED
F
or many East Cobb families, caring for an aging parent or loved one is a deeply personal journey. While practical needs such as meals, transportation, household tasks and personal care are important, there is another need that can be just as meaningful: connection.
The U.S. Surgeon General has identified loneliness and social isolation as significant public health concerns, with older adults particularly vulnerable to isolation. Social connection plays an important role in emotional and mental well-being, and having someone to talk with, laugh with and share everyday experiences can make a tremendous difference in a senior’s quality of life. This belief is at the heart of Seniors Helping Seniors Northwest Atlanta, owned by Kip and Terri Haswell. The Haswells opened their doors in June 2023 and serve seniors throughout Cherokee, Cobb and Pickens counties. Their connection to East Cobb is especially personal. Terri’s father was an East Cobb resident for more than 45 years. When he experienced a stroke in 2020, followed by cancer the next year, Terri became one of her dad’s primary caregivers, which allowed her stepmother a break so she could rest and take care of her own needs. She experienced firsthand the challenges families face while trying to balance caregiving, work and family life.
Kip and Terri Haswell, owners of Seniors Helping Seniors.
After her father passed away, Terri and Kip wanted to turn that difficult experience into something meaningful— something that could help other local families navigate the aging process with greater support and compassion. What makes Seniors Helping Seniors different is its peerto-peer approach. The agency primarily employs active older adults to assist seniors who need a little extra help. Shared life experiences and interests can create a natural bond that makes accepting assistance feel less like receiving care from a stranger and more like getting help from a friend.
NOW HIRING
“We are much more than just in-home care services,” says Terri. “Everyone has a story to share and desires to connect with others, even if it is hard to admit it sometimes.”
Companionship and Socialization
From companionship and light housekeeping to transportation, meal preparation, personal care, dementia support and respite for family caregivers, the goal is simple: help seniors remain independent while staying connected to the people and communities they love. For the Haswells, it’s personal. It’s local. And it’s about making sure our seniors have not only the help they need, but also the human connection we all need.
