SOUTHERN LOCAL BACK TO SCHOOL BASH

The majority of school systems eliminated their driver’s education training for students due to budget cuts years ago, she explained. The event also included an information fair, school supply distributions by local groups, inflatables, sno-cones and hot dogs. (Photo by Stephanie Ujhelyi)
