Snow coming to Stone Mountain Park

Snow Mountain finally will get its premiere at Stone Mountain Park.

The controversial attraction was canceled last year when critics balked at the event in the midst of a crushing drought in the state.

This year, organizers say they are using borrowed water from Stone Mountain Lake that does not tap into city water.

First refugee pre-k opens

Georgia now has its first pre-Kindergarten program designed just for children of refugees. Refugee Family Services is in Stone Mountain. The 20 children in the program are from nine different countries, and about 40 percent of them speak little or no English. The school's director says refugee children face specific challenges as they enter the school system.
