A local gym provided some help to local students who will have a few extra dollars for their freshmen year of college coming up after the trio of youth helped out with a City of Dallas project.

Abb’s Muscle & Fitness Gym in Dallas provided scholarships for Jaylen Jones, Alana (Paige) Kirby and Annabelle Nyugen of East Paulding High School for their help with a video project for the City of Dallas’ employees.

The New Year’s Challenge video for the city was produced as a way to get employees involved in workplace fitness and wellness and was “designed to inspire movement, health and fresh starts.”

“At Abb’s, we believe Redefining Health means investing in people, and Reengineering Fitness means building wellness through community, creativity, and collaboration,” the gym posted on their social media this morning. “We are honored to support youth who give back.”

The trio each received $250 for their assistance with the city’s New Year’s video project.

A new set of speed cameras has police officials hoping that drivers will slow down when they are going through the area of Dallas Elementary School, per a release from the city department on Monday.

The new cameras put up around Dallas Elementary went active on Monday and a 30-day advanced notification period for driver’s traveling through the school zone on weekday mornings when school is in session for the start of the 2026-27 school year will be posted ahead of time as a reminder.

Cameras operating who spot drivers going 10+ miles an hour over the speed limit will be sent tickets via a partnership with RedSpeed to install and operate the new cameras.

The department said it wasn’t meant to be a punitive measure against drivers, but hopes instead it’ll act as a preventative for speeders and get them to slow down and protect students and staff during peak hours when traffic is heavier.

“Driving above the posted speed limit in school zones puts pedestrians, especially young children, at a much greater risk of serious harm,” the release from the department noted.

The cameras will be looking for drivers 1 hour before the start of the school day, an hour after the first bell, then an hour before and an hour after dismissal on weekdays.

Signage is also being installed to warn drivers of cameras and encourage them to slow down before reaching the school district.

Those who are caught speeding will be mailed citations after the release promises that a “thorough review” of any citations before they are sent.
