Our community is a small town called Waycross, Ware County, Georgia, U.S.A. We are near the Okefenokee Swamp. That is what is different about our community. Our community is surrounded by the swamp and a lot of pine trees. We have a lot of animals that you don't find in many other places, like the alligator.

We are also different because we have a lot of railroads. All of our streets are arranged around the railroad tracks. Waycross has the largest rice yard in the southeast. A rice yard isn't really about rice. It is a place where trains meet to connect and go to the places they need to go to.

We like our community!
