New School Year Approaching Fast

Students in some Central Georgia schools will start classes as early as July 29, and many other schools in the state will resume by the first week of August.

Back-to-school events and school supply drives are underway.

In Augusta, the Salvation Army launched a school supply drive, citing an increase in the number of homeless students in the community.

New this school year, Georgia classrooms will reintroduce cursive writing for grades 3–5, a throwback aimed at boosting retention and motor skills.

Video Game Piracy Sites Busted

The FBI's Atlanta field office shut down several major websites accused of distributing pirated video games, causing an estimated $170 million in industry losses in recent months.

Sites like nsw2u.com and ps4pkg.net allegedly offered illegal downloads of popular games, often before the games' official release dates.

The FBI field office seized the websites' domain names and dismantled their backend infrastructure. The sites now display a federal seizure notice.

Marijuana Laws in Focus

A Savannah newspaper's review of state-by-state marijuana laws found recreational pot remains illegal in a slight majority of U.S. states, including Georgia and most other Southern states.

Twenty-four states now permit recreational marijuana use, according to the review, based on a report from U.S. News and World Report.

Almost all states, including Georgia, now allow the medical use of low-THC marijuana to registered patients, the report said.

Analysts Project This Stock Could Reach $10 a Share. You Can Still Invest for $3.25 per unit.

Worksport's stock recently hit $4.29 on the Nasdaq.

Some Wall Street analysts say it could reach $10.33 within a year—140% higher.

But you can still purchase units for $3.25.

It's through an offer you won't find on the Nasdaq…

Right now, they're giving investors the chance to buy investment units at a fixed price of $3.25.

Each unit gives you one convertible preferred share (with an 8% dividend) and one warrant to purchase another common share.

That's up to two shares.

And yes, you can buy the units at $3.25 then immediately turn around and convert your preferred share and then sell the converted common share.

The company has already made a name for itself selling truck covers. Every 100 dealers they sign represents millions of dollars in potential revenue—and their truck tonneau cover business has already signed 400+ dealers, up 4X since the start of 2025.

They just announced a 50% production increase and 2X margin growth in the last five months.

Up next, a $13 billion market opportunity—the reason now is an exciting moment for investors to tap in.

Worksport is combining their solar truck covers with battery systems to launch a flagship mobile power system later this year. It can power everything from emergency response, to construction sites, to camping.
