Andrew Wright was the young boy from Sparkman Middle school that passed away in February from playing the "choking game."

The "choking game" is injuring and killing teen and preteens across the nation.

Drew's parents, other family, and friends have started an awareness group to bring awareness to children, teens, and adults about playing this game, that it's NOT a game!

Today Dr. Gay Barnes, a first grade teacher at Horizon Elementary learned that she's one of four to be considered for the 2011 Alabama teacher of the year!

Students who go to schools that achieve better-than-expected academic results may be less likely to use drugs or alcohol, steal or fight, finds a new study.

University of Florida researchers looked at academic achievement scores at 61 inner-city middle schools in Chicago between 2002 and 2005. Seven schools did better than expected and the rates of drug and alcohol use and delinquency by students at those schools were as much as 25 percent lower compared to other schools.
