Volunteers Welcome Students Back to School
Volunteers from Saving Black Minds and the East St. Louis branch of the NAACP organized a Back 2 School Receiving Line for District 189 schools. Joined by city officials, state patrol officers and representatives from local churches, sororities, fraternities as well as community organizations, these volunteers ensured that students arriving on the first day of school were welcomed and encouraged. Their message to students was clear: education matters and you matter!
