Heather Blackwell, teacher at LaRue County High School, along with co-workers Marsha Duncan and Arlie Hamilton, is hosting a food-packaging event Saturday, April 27, with the Stop Hunger Now organization. This organization helps to provide food for the millions of chronically hungry people all over the world.
Blackwell, in the process of obtaining her Rank 1 licensure, partnered with Stop Hunger Now as a way to involve the community, as a project for a class she is taking.  

The Phoenix Club and Elizabethtown Community and Technical College are holding a free program April 18, “Keeping Children Safe Through Education and Awareness.” 
The event will be geared to parents and their children interested in child safety. Face painting and other child friendly activities will be available. Bring a flashlight.
The event will be held on ECTC’s at the Student Center.

His movement, which he dubbed “Rebel With a Cause,” focuses on education.
