PHOTOS: Warren County Schools New Staff and Teachers Tour
About a dozen Warren County Schools teachers and staff members explored the community and culture of Warren County in what has become an annual tradition.
Sponsored by the Heritage Quilters and the Warren Education Fund, the New Staff and Teacher Tour is meant “to highlight Warren County’s cultural, historic, economic, and social landscapes from the perspectives of grassroots community members.” The goal is for those who attend the tour can become familiar with the community the students their students live in and also look to these places as resources for classroom activities or potential field trips.
Led by Heritage Quilters member, Jereann King Johnson, the tour began with a meet and greet and breakfast at 134 on Main and stops at the John Hyman Commemorative Sign; Warren County Courthouse; Aaron Hendrick House; F&M Trailer Park; Cherry Hill; Haliwa-Saponi School and Community; Buck Spring; Warren County Training School/North Warren High School; Seven Springs Farm & Vineyard; and Soul City.

Perfecting Praise Receives Partnership in Public Health Award
Perfecting Praise Ministries was the recipient of the prestigious Partnership in Public Health Award
Nominated by the Warren County Health Department, Perfecting Praise Ministries was the recipient of the prestigious Partnership in Public Health Award, presented at the North Carolina Public Health Association (NCPHA) Fall Education Conference held in Cherokee, NC in September. This recognition highlights the ongoing collaboration between the ministry and the health department in their efforts to promote health and wellness within the community.
Bishop J. Terrell Alston and Perfecting Praise Ministries has been an active partner in numerous public health initiatives aimed at addressing critical health concerns. Some of their notable collaborations include hosting a drive-thru COVID-19 vaccination clinic, an HIV/AIDS Awareness event, and a town hall meeting titled “Coping Mentally and Spiritually,” which was hosted by the NAACP. In addition, the ministry organized a Mental Health Forum that focused on faith-based communities, bridging the gap between spiritual and mental health support.
This award acknowledges the significant impact that partnerships like these can have on improving public health outcomes, particularly in rural communities such as Warren County. By combining spiritual guidance with health education and resources, Perfecting Praise Ministries has played a vital role in addressing both the physical and mental well-being of the community.
Alston also serves as Director of Community Engagement & Empowerment at Trillium Health Resources.
The North Carolina Public Health Association is the leading professional association for people dedicated to promoting and protecting the health and environment of all North Carolinians.
