Good morning, Savannah.

At the 11th annual TybeeMLK Juneteenth Wade-in held on Tybee, storyteller Patt Gunn gave a history lesson and led a community celebration to honor those who came to the water — preserving a cherished local legacy.

Georgia is now funding thousands of students with $6,500 scholarships for private school or homeschooled education this fall under its Promise Scholarship program, available to students in low-performing public school zones.

Nearly 13,000 applications have been received and students must take state or national tests to qualify—ensuring academic standards are met.

The Atlantic hurricane season is underway and a local bank advises residents to prepare their finances by gathering copies of key documents—such as insurance policies and IDs—to protect against storm damage.

The bank also recommends having cash on hand to cover unexpected costs if a storm causes power outages.

Tybee Island officials shared a social media video urging beachgoers to avoid the South End Sand Bar because strong currents and sudden drop-offs make it very dangerous.

The video also reminds that city code bans walking, swimming, or wading in the area + urges everyone to follow the law.
