Another great day – this time at Evans High School. WE all know the struggles that school has faced...the media has painted a pretty bleak picture....between their move to Ocoee to their 9th grade center and then there's that failing grade...but you know what I saw? I saw some mannerly, well spoken, well behaved, smart, conscientious, lawyers, doctors, teachers, politicians and business women...I met authors and explorers, the next Senator – yes that's what she told me...we registered students to vote through Vote or Shut up – the young peoples non-profit dedicated to getting the word out to vote...I also met with the Orange County Teacher of the Year-Jennifer Boh....All that in one day on one campus...move it or not...STAR 94.5 would still go to the ends of the city to keep up with this great group of kids...So until you've walked on their campus, volunteered in their classroom, let's not be so quick to judge....IN spite of all that has happened lately, that same group of kids have made it to the Regional Championship for the 1st time since 1975, the Cheerleaders placed in the FHSAA competition and now their 1st ever Show Choir is heading to the Heritage Festival in Chicago next month...they've raised more than half of their money – they still need a little over 3 thousand dollars to take 34 students...if you'd like to make a donation – please go to our website STAR94fm.comSTAR cares about our community
