Edmonson Voice Report:
The Edmonson County Schools annual Back to School Bash was held last night at the Edmonson County Public Library. An estimated 500 students attended the event, where there was also 32 vendors on-site.

Students and parents lined up at the Back to School event.

“Back to School Bash is a way to provide parents with a few school supplies and also to connect them with resources in our community," said Jamie Carnes, Supervisor of Federal and State Programs for EC Schools. "It also provides FRYSC a great outlet for outreach.”

Members of the FRYSC (from L-R) Joanna Jaggers, Lisa Whobrey, Sherrell Thompson, Natalie Stice, Alicia Edwards, and Morgan Esters(front).

“We would like to humbly thank our outstanding community partners for their support in providing kids with a fresh start to the school year," said Alicia Edwards, FRC Coordinator for South Edmonson Elementary and Kyrock.

Carnes said the event is always successful and noted that it was not held at the high school due to the late start of the school year and a scheduling conflict with the ECHS football game.
