On Saturday, September 13th, we will come together for the 27th Annual EAST COBBER Parade & Festival. What began back in 1995 as a simple idea to bring neighbors together has grown into one of East Cobb’s most treasured traditions.
This year, more than 3,000 participants representing 75 local groups will step off down Johnson Ferry Road, filling the streets with music, color, and hometown pride. Following the parade, our lively festival will welcome local non-profits and small businesses, each sharing their talents, services, and community spirit.
Inside this issue (pages 12–15), you’ll find the complete lineup of parade participants, festival exhibitors, and sponsors. I hope you’ll take a moment to see just how many amazing people and organizations make this celebration possible—and why it’s a day you won’t want to miss.
I am looking forward to the smiles, laughter, and joy of seeing neighbors come together once again—proof of the strong sense of family and community that continues to flourish in East Cobb. That spirit is what will make this year’s celebration so special.
See you there!

POPE HIGH SCHOOL’S AMANDA DILLARD CROWNED COBB TEACHER OF THE YEAR
Pope High School’s gymnasium thundered with excitement. The bleachers, packed with spirited students, roared as Greyhound cheerleaders pumped up the crowd.
Instead of a championship team, the pep rally honored one person—the Cobb County School District Teacher of the Year.
Superintendent Chris Ragsdale surprised the Greyhound students and staff with the Tuesday morning announcement that Pope High School teacher Amanda Dillard would be Cobb’s top teacher for 2025.
“It was a huge surprise to be named the District Teacher of the Year for Cobb County. I feel really honored and just really blessed overall for being recognized that way,” Ms. Dillard exclaimed!
This was the second time Superintendent Ragsdale had surprised Ms. Dillard in recent weeks, although the last time did not include bleachers pounding with the cheers of 1,000+ students and staff. Before being
crowned the #1 teacher, the Pope special education teacher earned the crown of Cobb County School District High School Level Teacher of the Year.
“My goal is to help my students be successful, not just here at Pope, but when they graduate and later on in life as well,” Ms. Dillard added.
As Cobb’s new Teacher of the Year took her place in the spotlight, one student stood by, thinking of how Ms. Dillard had impacted his life. The 10th grader credits Ms. Dillard with helping him succeed and avoid being left behind. Over the course of a couple of months, she helped Benjamin turn around his grades last year. Her stubborn persistence refused to let him give up and instead helped him overcome the obstacles he was facing.
“The times that I wasn’t feeling like I could do it, or if my brain just wasn’t clicking on whatever it was, she wouldn’t stop saying, ‘I can do this. You got this. I can help you,’” Benjamin recalled.
2025 TOTY Amanda Dillard is joined by her family, Superintendent Ragsdale and the Pope Greyhound.
Ms. Dillard is the students’ biggest cheerleader. Her positive energy spreads through the Pope hallways as she greets students, who cannot help but raise their heads and smile when they see her.
“You walk by her, and you can feel the energy,” Benjamin added, declaring that his beloved teacher never looks like she’s had a bad day. “When you walk by her, there’s just energy that grabs people’s attention. She’s really nice. She’s always positive.”
The Pope Special Education teacher is happy to know that students like Benjamin view her as someone they can lean on and come to when they mess up or need support.
“I want to be the person they can come to for help,” Ms. Dillard declared.
Senior Faye is another student quick to praise Cobb’s Teacher of the Year.
“It has been an amazing last three years knowing her,” Faye shared, expressing gratitude for all Ms. Dillard has done to help her. “Thank you for being there for me,” Faye added.
“…a joy to see.” That’s how Pope senior Landon would describe his former teacher and E-Sports coach.
When Landon imagines a good person, Ms. Dillard pops into his mind. And that’s exactly why he thinks she is a perfect fit for Cobb’s Teacher of the Year.
She puts a smile on everyone’s face. Ms. Dillard is more than a coach or a teacher; she’s a mentor.
“She always manages to find a way to make us want to do our best,” Landon explained.
Thanks to the Georgia’s BEST program, Ms. Dillard will be able to impact more students like Benjamin, Faye, and Landon.
“Being a Georgia’s Best teacher and being in the Georgia’s Best program is a huge, huge opportunity for Cobb educators. Teachers can turn around and invest in their students. It’s not something I could have done on my own,” explained Cobb’s teacher, who will graduate as a Georgia’s BEST educator in summer 2026.
The Pope pep rally is not the only fanfare Ms. Dillard will experience this year as Cobb’s District Teacher of the Year. The community will honor Ms. Dillard in the fall during a special ceremony on Marietta Square, where her handprints will be cemented on the Walk of Fame, as part of the Cobb Chamber’s Give Our Schools a Hand celebration. Her students will also join her for a memorable pep rally that honors Teachers of the Year across Cobb.
“Seeing Ms. Dillard with her students today reminds me why Cobb’s families love our schools. Our teachers really, actually care about our students, and, especially on days like today, it shows,” said Cobb Schools Board Chair David Chastain.
COBB LIBRARY FOUNDATION DONATES $26,200 TO COBB COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY
The Cobb Library Foundation announced a donation of $26,200 to the Cobb County Public Library. The funds will be used to support the library’s list of projects, which are designed to enhance library services, technology, and programs for the community.
“We are incredibly grateful for the hard work and generosity of our community,” said Sandra Morris, Executive Director of the Cobb Library Foundation. “This donation is a direct result of the support we’ve received from our dedicated sponsors, event attendees, and library patrons. Their commitment to the Cobb County Public Library makes it possible for us to continue our mission of supporting literacy and lifelong learning.”
This year’s fundraising fueled community impact: 4,291 participants logged 2.7 million minutes in the Summer Reading Program, completing 6,409 activities. Supported Teen Book’d and 1,000 Books Before Kindergarten ceremonies, while advancing the bookmobile—outfitting a Sprinter with shelving, carts, wrap, lift, and soon an awning. Funds also enhanced the North Cobb Regional Garden and provided toys, equipment, and resources through the Love Your Library Fundraiser.
What we’ve accomplished thus far is truly inspiring,” Morris added. “Expanding creative spaces, bringing new technology to our branches, celebrating thousands of reading milestones, and building a fully equipped bookmobile. We’ve made incredible strides. The best part? We’re just getting started—2026 is full of exciting possibilities.”
Upcoming fundraisers include a Ghost Tour in September, a shopping day at Merchants Walk in November, and the Book for the Evening Gala in March 2026.

EAST COBB COUNTY COUNCIL
OF PTAS SHINES AT THE 2025 GEORGIA PTA CONVENTION
By Stacey Albracht, ECCC Reports Chair
Each year, the Georgia PTA Convention & Leadership Training (CLT) honors the volunteers and educators who elevate public education through their commitment and leadership. This summer, the East Cobb County Council of PTAs (ECCC) was recognized with a wide array of awards, showcasing the passion, dedication, and hard work of our local school communities.
It takes extraordinary time, energy, and heart to lead a PTA—hours spent organizing events, advocating for resources, and forging community partnerships that support student success and increase family engagement. When principals and educators champion those efforts, the impact multiplies. Knowing the cost in late nights and early mornings makes each recognition especially meaningful, and ECCC’s showing this year was nothing short of inspiring.
TOP HONORS FOR LOCAL UNITS
Outstanding Local Unit awards headlined the celebration. In the 751-and-above category, Mountain View Elementary PTA earned 2nd place and Tritt Elementary PTA 3rd. In the 750-and-below category, Addison Elementary PTA took 1st and Garrison Mill Elementary PTA 3rd. At the high school level, Walton High PTSA captured 1st place with Pope High PTSA close behind in 2nd.
MODEL PTAS AND PARTNERSHIP AWARDS
Seven schools—Davis, Garrison Mill, Mabry, Mountain View, Mt. Bethel, Rocky Mount, and Shallowford Falls— along with Walton High, were named Model PTAs, representing best practices in leadership and programming. In the Hearst Family-School Partnership Awards, Addison, Walton, Sope Creek, and Tritt each stood out for excellence in a National PTA standard. Special congratulations go to Denis Olivier of Sope Creek for earning the statewide Visionary Award, and to Kelly Everden, named Tritt’s Outstanding Nurse.
MEMBERSHIP MILESTONES
PTA membership is the foundation of strong advocacy. Addison and Hightower Trail received the Community Partnership Award for recruiting over 30 community members, and Mt. Bethel achieved 100% membership by October 31, earning the Gold Award.
Sixteen schools met the Visionary benchmark of 400 members by August 31: Dickerson, Dodgen, East Side, Eastvalley, Garrison Mill, Hightower Trail, Lassiter, Mabry, Mountain View, Mt. Bethel, Pope, Shallowford Falls, Simpson, Sprayberry, Tritt, and Walton. These same schools plus Davis earned the Pacesetter Award.
The Oak Tree Award—100% staff membership— went to Addison, East Side, Hightower Trail, Kincaid, Rocky Mount, Simpson, Sope Creek, Tritt, and Walton. An impressive 28 units earned the Early Bird Award for reaching 200 members by September 30, including Addison, Bells Ferry, Davis, Dickerson, Dodgen, East Cobb, East Side, Eastvalley, Garrison Mill, Hightower Trail, Kell, Kincaid, Lassiter, Mabry, Mountain View, Mt. Bethel, Murdock, Pope, Rocky Mount, Shallowford Falls, Simpson, Sope Creek, Sprayberry, Tritt, Walton, and Wheeler.
COUNCIL OF THE YEAR
ECCC was also awarded 1st place in the Council Annual Achievement Award—an honor that recognizes collective efforts across all local units to support student achievement and family involvement.
To every officer, committee chair, volunteer, principal, teacher, staff member, and community partner: thank you. Your leadership and commitment have made East Cobb a model for PTAs across the state. As we celebrate these accomplishments, let’s carry the momentum into a new year of growth, advocacy, and engagement.
Congratulations, ECCC—your light is truly shining bright!
Stacey Albracht currently serves as the Reports Chair for the East Cobb County Council of PTAs and holds dual roles as Parliamentarian and Membership Chair for the Lassiter High School PTSA. A long-time advocate for public education, Stacey is deeply committed to supporting local schools and youth programs. She and her husband Dave are proud parents of two sons, Mason and Mitchell.
BARKER-JACKSON MASTER BARBERS PROVIDES A TRADITIONAL BARBERSHOP EXPERIENCE
By Adam Darby
When it comes to traditional American businesses, one of the first examples that comes to mind are the original barbershops. For many, nothing beats a vintage-style haircut and a straight razor shave from a skilled professional. Barker-Jackson Master Barbers provides customers with that traditional barbershop experience the second they walk through the door. Since 2013, they have remained a local staple delivering top-notch service to the East Cobb community.
“We’re a part of the community and we understand its needs,” said Owner Jaret Barker. “For instance, the Marietta location is primarily an older community… we’re an old-school barbershop.”
With their original store located in Canton, opening in 2008, they quickly grew, with their Sandy Plains location arriving five years later. Since then, the Americanowned business has focused on providing quality service at an affordable price. Having an experienced staff with decades of extensive training, their barbers have mastered virtually every style.
“The Marietta location had been there 30 years before me,” Barker said. “There was a barber who wanted to sell his business, so I bought it to expand our business. We specialize in traditional haircuts and shaves, and we’re very good at it.”
Promising a traditional barbershop experience, Barker-Jackson Master Barbers takes walk-in customers only, providing them with precision haircuts and straight razor, hot leather shaves. Daily discounts are available for all seniors, military members, educators, and first responders. Customers can request a vintage, classic, or modern look that best suits their personal style and preference.
Barker-Jackson Master Barbers is located in The Corners Shopping Center behind the Dunkin Donuts at 2731 Sandy Plains Road, Suite 140. Hours of operation are Monday to Friday from 10am to 7pm and Saturdays from 9am to 5pm while remaining closed on Sundays. For more information, call 678-505-8987 or visit their website at www.Barker-Jackson.com.
Tradition Meets Skill – From vintage cuts to modern styles, their barbers bring decades of experience to every chair.

IS MY PET OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE?
How to tell and wHat You Can do about It
Did you know that more than half of all pets in Georgia are considered overweight or obese? According to a 2022 report by the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), 59% of dogs and 61% of cats in the U.S. fall into one of these two categories. With so many pets affected, it’s easy to see how a few extra pounds can start to feel “normal.” But being overweight is far from harmless—it can significantly impact your pet’s quality of life and lifespan.
Why This Matters
Extra weight puts your pet at risk for several serious health issues, including:
• Joint Pain & Arthritis – Increased stress on joints can lead to osteoarthritis and decreased mobility.
• Shortened Lifespan – Pets at a healthy weight live, on average, 2.5 years longer than those who are overweight.
• Diabetes & Endocrine Disorders – Just like humans, overweight pets can develop insulin resistance.
• Respiratory Issues – Excess fat around the chest can restrict breathing, increase risk for tracheal collapse, and lead to chronic coughing.
• Other Conditions – These include high blood pressure, kidney disease, certain cancers, liver issues, and higher risk during surgery or under anesthesia.
The Good News? You Can Help!
Fall is a fantastic time to kick off a weight-loss journey. Whether your pet needs to shed a few pounds or more, your veterinarian is your best partner in creating a safe, effective plan. At Just For Pets Animal Hospital, we start with a full consult to rule out underlying medical conditions—like heart disease or hormonal imbalances— before recommending any diet or exercise changes.
If you’re not already working with a veterinarian, we’d love to support you and your furry family member. Helping pets live longer, healthier lives is what we’re here for!
Steps Toward a Healthier Pet
Once your veterinarian has assessed your pet’s Body Condition Score and established a target weight, here
are some proven steps to support safe and successful weight loss: Rethink the Food Bowl
• Use a measuring cup to portion food accurately—no more guessing!
• Avoid table scraps and monitor treat calories. Baby carrots or cucumber slices are healthy snacks.
• Feed meals at set times rather than allowing your pet to graze all day.
Get Moving
• Dogs need at least 30 minutes of exercise daily; cats need about 20 minutes.
• Try fun options like walks, hikes, swimming, or playtime at the dog park.
• Encourage cats to move with laser pointers, feather toys, and puzzle feeders that mimic hunting behavior.
Make It a Family Effort
Ensure everyone in the household understands and supports the weight loss plan. Overfeeding—even if done with love—can sabotage progress. This can be hard with young kids and senior adults, but you got this!
Patience is Key
Remember: your didn’t gain weight overnight, and safe weight loss is a gradual process. Aim for a loss of about 1–5% of body weight per month, and schedule monthly weigh-ins at your vet’s office to track progress.
Weight loss can be more complex than just cutting calories and increasing activity—but you don’t have to go it alone. We’re here to guide you every step of the way.
Let’s Celebrate Together!
We love seeing your success stories! Share your pet’s before-and-after photos with us on Facebook and Instagram, and visit our website for helpful resources, success stories, and more.
Wishing you a safe, active, and joyful season with your pets. Let’s get them happy, healthy, and back to doing the things they love!

SPARKLE SUCCESS STORY
By Ginger Markert-Brusa
Lana Alsobrook tried fad diets and gimmicks, but once she saw her friends transforming their lives with food, exercising for health, and losing weight, she got serious about her own health.
My overall journey of personal care began with various diets. I joined Sparkle, but life was busy. I did not participate and apply things I was learning, which led me to drop the group as I had with other diet and exercise programs. In 2024, I committed to being involved, attending meetings, attending events, and prioritizing myself and my health. Showing up to wellness classes was very powerful for me. The women are encouraging, loving, and helpful. I felt welcome and among friends immediately.
I took a Sparkle Fitness class and fell in love. I lifted weights for more than 10 years and completed many online programs, but loved Sparkle Fitness more. The “live” aspect of working out via Zoom classes was fantastic. I love the accountability and feeling like I am in person with others at a gym, but really in my own home. I noticed changes in my body composition after a few months of regular weight training.
After being a member of Sparkle Wellness for three months, I knew I had issues requiring one-on-one support. I began private coaching. Private coaching has been a game-changer for me. My goals for coaching were twofold: move from my diet/temporary mindset to lifelong healthy eating, AND learn to love my body no matter what I weighed. I really wanted to focus on selfacceptance.
An example of my diet mindset: I would tell myself that when I lose the weight I can eat that piece of cake, or I can have burgers and fries, and the worst—I can eat fruit again because it’s sugar and carbs, and I don’t eat those right now.
An example of loving my body: Instead of seeing my body for what it can do for me, I would criticize every flaw I could find. I never looked good enough, skinny enough, etc.
My biggest challenge has been getting out of my own way to reach my goals. I must talk positively to myself, reframe the negative self-talk, and encourage myself. Consistency and showing up for myself are key, even when I am tired.
10 months into my journey, I contemplated foot surgery. I was terrified of losing my strength and slipping into old habits following surgery. Jacynta’s encouragement
and coaching were key during this time. She told me to show up to fitness and do what I could. She had me reach out to Sparkle members who had similar surgeries. Those women were kind, encouraging, and offered much support. I worked out with Sparkle Fitness three times a week in a boot with my foot elevated. I did upper body and over the next 12 weeks added lower body exercises as permitted by my doctor. I did not lose any strength I gained over the last year, and I gained so much self-confidence. Another challenge is showing up consistently. When I cannot attend the Zoom classes, I put an appointment on my calendar to work out with the video recordings.
To this day, I have found keeping the weight off is harder than expected. I still plan to lose 10-15 pounds. I no longer feel desperation. I am happy with the changes I see because of weightlifting. I do not have as much body hate.
I am always growing.
Registration is now open for Fall. For information on Sparkle Wellness, contact Jacynta Harb at www.sparkleanewyou.com or call 404-242-5062.
Stronger, healthier, and happier—Lana Alsobrook proves the power of showing up for yourself.
If you’ve ever noticed a small, white or yellowish lump appearing at the back of your throat, you may have discovered a tonsil stone. These stones, medically called tonsilloliths, form when food particles, dead cells, and bacteria get trapped in the small crevices of your tonsils. Over time, this buildup hardens, creating a firm lump that can cause a surprising amount of trouble.
One of the most common complaints about tonsil stones is the odor they produce. The stones harbor sulfur-producing bacteria, which is why they can make your breath smell unpleasant, even if you brush and floss regularly. In addition to bad breath, tonsil stones may lead to other symptoms such as a scratchy or sore throat, swelling in the tonsils, or even minor bleeding if the stone
irritates surrounding tissue. Some people also feel like they constantly have something stuck in their throat.
Interestingly, larger and denser tonsil stones can sometimes be seen on dental X-rays, even before you realize they are there. Dentists are often the first to notice them during a routine exam. While some stones will eventually work their way out on their own, others may need a little help. Rinsing with warm salt water, using a water flosser on a low setting, or gently pressing the tonsil with a cotton swab can sometimes dislodge them.
If tonsil stones keep coming back, don’t be discouraged. Your dentist can help by identifying them early, removing them safely, or suggesting treatments that
may reduce how often they form. In persistent cases, a referral to an ear, nose, and throat specialist may be recommended.
If you’ve been dealing with unexplained bad breath, recurring throat soreness, or suspect you may have tonsil stones, it’s worth bringing up at your next dental visit. Sometimes the smallest stones can cause the biggest frustrations, but with the right care, you don’t have to live with them.

CELEBRATING SENIORS AT THE NORTH GEORGIA STATE FAIR
Each fall, the North Georgia State Fair transforms Jim R. Miller Park into a wonderland of rides, concerts, exhibits, and food-on-a-stick fun. But one of the most cherished traditions is Senior Day, a special celebration set aside to honor older adults in our community.
This year, Senior Day will be held on Friday, September 19, 2025, offering a morning filled with fellowship, entertainment, and free admission for everyone 55 and older. From 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., before the fair officially opens to the public, seniors will enjoy a variety of activities designed just for them.
The program often includes live music, games, and door prizes, along with the chance to reconnect with friends and neighbors in a relaxed setting. Local organizations and service providers will also be on hand, sharing resources to support healthy, active lifestyles for seniors.
Of course, no visit to the fair would be complete without exploring the sights, sounds, and tastes once the gates open for everyone at 4:00 p.m. Thanks to the free admission, seniors can stay and enjoy it all—from the agricultural exhibits and arts-and-crafts displays to the carnival rides and headliner concerts.
“Senior Day is one of the highlights of our fair each year,” said organizers. “It’s our way of giving back to the
people who have built our community, while also inviting them to join in the fun and excitement that make the fair such a treasured tradition.”
With free admission, convenient parking, and a welcoming atmosphere, Senior Day at the North Georgia State Fair is more than just an event—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the generations
