Atlanta's Burgess-Peterson Academy was scheduled Saturday to dedicate a new outdoor classroom during the school’s Spring Butterfly Festival. The addition is named for Kevin Hester, a long-time custodian at the school who died last year. The classroom was funded by a $7,500 grant from the Atlanta Families Awards for Excellence in Education. Info: www.atlantapublicschools.us
