1. Gwinnett County Public Schools is hiring people who want to help make a difference in the lives of local students. They're seeking individuals who would be able to prepare and serve nutritious meals to help students have the energy they need to succeed at school. Training is fully paid and no experience is required. Gwinnett County Public Schools will be holding an in-person job fair today from 2:00 p.m until 4:00 p.m. at the J. Alvin Wilbanks Instructional Support Center. (Gwinnett County Public Schools via Facebook)
2. On Dec. 15, the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office will hold the 33rd Annual Cops & Kids Christmas Event. Located at the Walmart on Lawrenceville Highway, the event focuses on helping children in need to have a very merry Christmas. Last year, the event helped 140 children from 67 families. Through donations and help from volunteers, families are able to do Christmas shopping at their local Walmart. (Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office via Facebook)
3. Knowledge is power – especially when it comes to trivia. Gwinnett County Public Library will be hosting a "Harry Potter" trivia event on Saturday. Students from sixth grade up to 12th grade can compete at the Yule Ball. There will be Honeydukes snacks, cosplay contests, and plenty of games for wizards.

From our sponsor:

Are you a Dacula resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market? Consider fine art. Masterworks is the award-winning platform helping 575,000+ invest in works by the same world-renowned artists that are coveted by ultra-wealthy collectors and major museums alike (think Picasso, Basquiat, and Banksy.) Masterworks splits these multi-million dollar works into shares, so you can invest without breaking the bank.

Contemporary art has outpaced the stock market by a whopping 131% over the last 26 years. Seven of Masterworks’ eight sold paintings gave their investors a +17.8% net returns*.

Best of all, as a trusted partner, Dacula Patch readers can skip their waitlist to join.
