Jim and Peggie Morrow have made it one of their goals to spread technology to children throughout all of Forsyth County. Typically, the Morrows host the iRun in the fall to fundraise for Forsyth BYOT, or Bring Your Own Technology, Benefit.
This year, they decided to hold the event online, changing the name to iChallenge and featuring a friendly competition between schools and children that involved the whole family.

TALLADEGA COUNTY Talladega County Schools Superintendent Dr. Suzanne Lacey informed the Board of Education on Monday that the mixed model currently in use would likely stay in place through the end of January.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, county schools have been offering students the option of either studying online entirely at the Beacon Academy or attending classes in person for half a week at a time.Â
Students assigned to Group A have in-person classes Mondays, Tuesdays and alternate Wednesdays, with the B group picking up the other Wednesdays, along with Thursdays and Fridays.
County schools dismiss for Christmas break at noon Friday and return after the new year. Lacey said the same rotation will be in place throughout January, and a decision on how to proceed from there will come sometime during the month.
