Local residents, educators, students, and faith leaders gathered at Kosciusko High School Sunday evening for a district-wide Community Prayer Walk to pray for a safe upcoming school year.
The event kicked off at 6:00 PM outside Kosciusko High School, where attendees prayed together before dividing into teams to cover every campus across the school district.
Doors to local schools were unlocked for the evening, allowing community members to walk the halls of each campus to pray over the classrooms, hallways, and meeting spaces where students and staff will spend the coming year.
Participants also left encouragement behind for educators and staff. Armed with pads of sticky notes and pens, volunteers wrote out favorite Bible verses and words of encouragement, placing them on classroom doors, administrative offices, teacher lounges, and common areas throughout the district.
Locals schools in the Kosciusko and Attala County School Districts will begin classes Monday, Aug. 3.
