1. Four East Cobb high schools have posted graduation rates above 90 percent. The Georgia Department of Education released the district and school figures on Thursday.

2. The Fall Planting Workshop will be tomorrow from 11:00 a.m. to noon. The workshop will be offered at the Mountain View Regional Library on Sandy Plains Road. The UGA Cobb Extension is hosting the event. Participants will learn about planting, lawn care, and ornamentals. (East Cobb News)
3. Almost 600 Cobb County voters have had their voter registrations challenged. The challenges were submitted to Cobb Elections and Registration Director Jamie Eveler last month. This is the latest large-scale voter challenge since Senate Bill 202 went into effect. The challenges were allegedly filed because the registrations did not include apartment numbers. (Axios.com)

Patch deal of the day:

Wine lover alert. We found this amazing deal from Splash Wines — an 18-bottle curated selection of reds and whites for fall — for just $69.99. Shipping isn't cheap at $39.95, but that still comes out to just over $6 per bottle. Splash Wines has a money-back guarantee if you don't like the wine and 4.6 out of 5 rating on TrustPilot. So: recommended.
