(WXIA) -- For the second year in a row, Delta Community Credit Union will sponsor the brass | Media Student Program, which brings financial literacy skills to classrooms across metro Atlanta.

Teachers can register for the program at studentprogram.com. Atlanta-based Delta Community's partnership with the Student Program has helped it reach more than 200,000 students in 159 schools.

One local educator -- Michael Young, a Career & Technical Education teacher at Collins Hill High School in Gwinnett County -- was the 3,000th teacher nationwide to sign up for the program. He said it has strengthened his students' understanding of money and possible career paths, and has helped them prepare for college.

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- Holy Innocents’ Episcopal School  (HIES) has received a $1 million planned gift from former school trustee Ray Inglett Jr. These funds will be placed in the school’s endowment and go toward financial aid for students in need of assistance. The fund will be called The Inglett Family Financial Aid Fund.

Inglett, a lifetime donor to HIES has served the school and Holy Innocents’ Episcopal Church in a number of leadership roles. He was co-chair of the school’s Executive Board from 1988-89, and served on the Board of Trustees from 1990-91 and again from 1995-96. Inglett was also a Facilities Development Committee Chair and was appointed to many committees, including ones for the Scholarship Foundation and Strategic Planning. 

(WXIA) -- This weekend will be a holiday for Georgia families in more ways than one.

The Georgia Department of Transportation has suspended construction-related lane closures on all major interstates and highways within five miles of malls and shopping districts.

This will allow parents and students to enjoy the tax-free shopping weekend without the added stress of road delays.

"The sales tax holiday is an opportunity for Georgians to save a little money during these challenging economic times," GDOT Commissioner Keith Golden said. "The department is glad to offer some relief from lane closures as families prepare for school."
