Jeff Beggs, Director of Athletics for Atlanta Public Schools, says, “This is the first year we have had cluster nights during our football games. We hope to have this every year and each year we hope more and more students will attend. This is a chance to build strong clusters throughout our school system.”
According to Mr. Jolly, Kimberly's Media Specialist, this was a wonderful opportunity for students, parents and teachers throughout the cluster to spend time with one another and celebrate school pride.
