Acworth Teens Shipping Up to Boston
The underserved youngsters are taking a trip up north over their next spring break thanks to a private benefactor.

A group of young Acworth residents will be taking an educational trip up to Boston early next year thanks to a private donor and the approval of the Acworth Board of Aldermen.
The Expanding Horizons trip, paid for in full by an anonymous benefactor, was given 5-0 approval during the board’s Thursday meeting. Each of the students participating in the event are participating in a mentoring and tutoring program at the city’s Roberts School, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The trip will last between five and six days and costs nearly $18,000, the AJC says.
