What an incredible day celebrating Georgia’s brightest young minds! 🌟

We recently hosted the Georgia Award Ceremony to honor 91 outstanding students who achieved the top three scores in their grade across the state, as well as the top ten scores in their grade nationally. It was an honor to welcome more than 65 of the 91 invited families to share in this proud moment!

A huge thank you to everyone who made this event possible:

💎Organizers: Organized by Georgia State Director Zoya Dimitrova-Zakarian with incredible help and co-organization from Dr. Brian Lack.

💎Host Venue: A special thanks to New Hope Elementary School in Forsyth County, including Manager Meghan Street and Principal Michael Vorick, for being such wonderful hosts.

Congratulations to all of our amazing awardees! 🏆

🎉✨ What a beautiful celebration! ✨
