2. The Canton branch of Bank of North Georgia collected 410 jars of peanut butter and jelly to fill food pantries at MUST Ministries and the Salvation Army. That was more than any other branch across metro Atlanta.
3. Sequoyah High is the 28th best high school in Georgia and the 993rd best high school in the nation, according to Newsweek magazine's annual list of top public high schools.

Sequoyah High was shut out of that list, while Woodstock High was shut out of the Newsweek list.
