The funding came from the parks, recre¬
ation and green space bond voters
approved in 2008, as well as impact fees
charged to developers.
The Old Atlanta Recreation Center is cm
property at Nichols and Old Atlanta roads
that also was purchased through the bond
referendum.
The green space park on the site is
expected to open in June.
Nearly a year since it debuted, Fowler
Park at Castleberry Road and Highway 9
will he home to the Fowler Recreation
Center.
Staff will begin the move to the new
locations this Friday, as the Sharon Springs
Park office will close permanently.
Kinsey said the facility will be used for
storage and as office space for the mainte¬
nance manager.
Next week, department staff will go
through training in preparation for opening
the centers, he said.
The department hired two additional ath¬
letic coordinators and two more mainte-

nance workers — “one for each center,”
Kinsey said.
The county currently has one recreation
center, which is at Central Park on Keith
Bridge Road in north Forsyth.
Programs and classes at the Fowler
and Old Atlanta centers will begin in
mid-March, as will a new offering for
those interested in fitness.
Laura Pate, recreation program super¬
visor, outlined in an e-mail the three pass
options, which allow for unlimited
access to exercise and weight rooms,
certain fitness classes or both.
“Passes can be purchased for one visit,
three months, six months and one year,"
Pate wrote, ‘The passes will be good to
use at all three county recreation cen¬
ters.”
Prices and schedules will be available
soon at the rec centers, online and in the
activity guide.
In addition to current classes offered,
some new programs include music class¬
es, jiujutsu, jump rope clinics, driving
classes for teens, homeschool gymnas¬
tics and a program for adults with special
needs, Pate wrote.
New and existing instructors will teach
classes at the three locations.

Morea. “We went to our principal,
Tracey Smith, and she said. ‘Wouldn’t
it be great to go to South with the culi¬
nary arts kids and have them teach our
kids?"
From there, Morea said. Smith went
to South principal Jason Branch, who
liked the idea.
He in turn went to Dawn Martin, the
culinary arts instructor, and Linda
Wright, the head of South’s math
department. The women began devel¬
oping lessons their students could
teach.
Martin said she and Wright met with
the Mashburn teachers one afternoon
and came up with a variety of mini-les¬
sons, using the fourth-grade math cur¬
riculum.
“They also asked us to incorporate
the career path aspect into it too,"
Martin said. “They needed [the stu¬
dents] to understand why they needed
to know this math. So we’re weaving
real-life information in with the culi¬
nary and hospitality industry part of it."
The younger students seemed happy
to be learning real-life math, especially
from their older peers.
“I really liked them. said Susie
Thompson of her high school teachers.
“I’m learning things that I never
learned before.”
When asked which station was his
favorite, classmate Bryan Walker
eagerly replied “everything.”
Just coming to the bigger school was
special.
“I felt really excited about getting to
come here, since it's the first time l get
to have a sneak peek at my future
school,” he said.
Marybeth Yonk said she was sur¬
prised when her teachers told the class
they would he visiting the high school.
“We don’t usually get to go to places
where there are older kids,” she said.
As far as her favorite station, she
liked learning about angles and
weights.
Anna Hatz led the weight station, in
which elementary students measured
out sugar and flour and then weighed

them on a food scale.
“This shows them that things weigh
differently on the scale than when you
measure them out in a measuring cup,
due to different textures,” she said.
"We’re also working on things like if
your recipe called for three-quarters of
a cup, but you only had a one-quarter
cup measure, how many would you
need to use.”
Caitlyn Reeves worked at the
“Gallon Man” station, in which stu¬
dents learned a visual aid to help them
with liquid measures.
“We use Gallon Man to show them
how many quarts, pints and cups are in
a gallon. It’s to teach them the basic
conversions,” she said.
Reeves said the experience was fun.
"It’s really cool to give them an
opportunity like this," she said. “I
would have been really into doing
something like this when I was a
fourth-grader."
Back at the chocolate chip cookie
station, Wijma said he too enjoyed the
experience.
“Just teaching the kids something
new was really fun,” he said. “They
really look up to us as high school stu¬
dents, so it’s pretty neat.”
