Bleckley PTO will hold their first meeting of the year August 26 at 6 pm in room 4 of the red hall at Bleckley Primary.  The red hall is the first hall on the right as you enter, room 4 is the second door on the left.

Move in day for the Cochran campus of Middle Georgia State University is August 12. Because of the expected increase in foot traffic, Cook Road will be closed from Sixth Street to Ann Street starting at 8 am and lasting until 4 pm.

According to an email from MGA Campus Police Chief Shane Roland, the closure is to allow students the freedom to unload their vehicles and bring them safely across Cook Road. He said MGA Police will be directing traffic so as to minimize delays and other incidents. Roland also added they’d be working with both the Cochran Police Department and Bleckley County Sheriff’s Office during the closure with their main objective being the safety of the students and community members.
