Today, over 400 Griffin-Spalding County School System (GSCS) Student Athletes attended the seasonal Beyond Self Athletes Assembly, an event dedicated to empowering the next generation of leaders. Students heard an inspiring keynote address from U.S. Army Veteran and Olympic Gold Medalist Melvin Pender. Also, during the assembly, through a partnership with AT&T and Beyond Self, 50 new laptops were given out to deserving student-athletes from the fall sports season, providing critical technology access to families in the community.

Some student athletes who received a new laptop were nominated by their coach for demonstrating the three R’s: Respect yourself, Respect others and take Responsibility. Others received a laptop for completing the captain’s workshop and serving as Key People of Influence for the winter season. Then, a lucky few were chosen after answering questions correctly about the program and the keynote speaker.

Nurse Bridges at Kennedy Road Middle School is leading a weekly Healthcare Club for students interested in pursuing careers in the field. So far, they have made "boo-boo bags" for teachers, cultured bacteria from common surfaces, donned and doffed PPE and learned the importance of proper handwashing with Glo-Germs. Thank you, Nurse Bridges, for sharing your compassion for healthcare to inspire future generations!
