The 22nd Annual Jefferson Burn Benefit took place last weekend. The town was full of motorcycles, bands, food and fun. The weather was perfect for the events and contests that were held. The proceeds are given to Camp “I’m Still Me” in Scottsville, Texas (formerly Louisiana Burn Camp). Each summer young burn survivors from Louisiana and East Texas attend camp for a week of fun with others who share the bond of the burn. The camp is free for the kids and made possible by donations. Buddy Anderson won the grand prize – a brand new Harley Davidson. Photos by Kate Stow

Atlanta High School debate teams performed very well at the Hallsville Debate Meet. Alex Jones and Ingrid Baizabal cross entered in Policy Debate and Extemporaneous Speaking, together they brought home 1st place in policy. Alex got 3rd place in Persuasive and Ingrid received 5th in Informative. Alex Jones was also top speaker for the day. In LD we had Jon Kennedy, Cademon Larson, and Manuel Olvera compete. In Jon’s first meet he went 1 and 2, Manuel speaking for the first time in varsity debate also went 1 and 2, while Cademon’s second outing in varsity went 2 and 1. We are very proud of the professionalism and work these kids put in and we’re happy to have them on our debate team!
