On Saturday, August 20, Evening Light Holiness Church sponsored a back to school event.

Speakers for the event were:  Elizabeth Cox (Guidance Counselor at East Bladen High School), Priscilla Brayboy (Principal  Bladen Lakes Primary School), William Lenard (Assistant Principal Hartsville High School, South Carolina), and Aaron Cox (Former Teen Court Judge).  Youth listened as the speakers told them about a new beginning this year and getting off on the right foot. Aaron spoke about Social Media, how it can be a positive and negative tool. Be sure to think when using it. They encouraged the youth to use the resources provided for them like the counselors, school resource officers, after-school programs.

The biggest lesson was to communicate with their principals, they are there to help. They want students to succeed. 

Youth were given bags with school supplies  and they participated in a hands on craft lead by Stephania Lenard.  An average of 56 youth and adults attended.
