City officials are hoping the work to build a memorial to those who have served and sacrificed for the nation will be completed in time for Veteran’s Day this year, and there’s a good chance that will happen.

The public and officials gathered on Monday evening to dump out the ceremonial first shovelful on the project during a groundbreaking ceremony for the new park on Harris Drive.

“This has long been a desire of the Mayor and Council, in order to honor all those who have courageously and selflessly served our country,” city officials posted this morning following the groundbreaking ceremony on Monday.

Representatives from the American Legion, VFW, State Representative New, State Representative Gullett, Senator Anavitarte, Incoming District Attorney Lane and Judge Rollins.

Several Elementary School students from campuses around Paulding County went up to Rome ahead of the snowy weekend, and some came back as region champs representing their campuses.

The regional event held in Rome for the Georgia Student Technology Competition organized by Georgia’s RESA organization saw dozens of area schools compete against one another for a chance to move onto the state level on March 14.

The nearly two dozen students included youth from W.C. Abney Elementary School, Connie Dugan Elementary School, Hal Hutchens Elementary School, Sam D. Panter Elementary School, and Shelton Elementary School.

Students from Shelton Elementary took first place in three different categories during the event, along with Dugan Elementary students who took first in two categories, and a Panter Elementary team taking first in a category as well.

Those who won will get to compete on the state level next month in McDonough.
