Scott City combats the negative

I want to inform your readers of a positive movement that is building within our great community of Scott City. Most of our community leaders and many of our citizens have seen the need to combat the negative influences from the many venues that our children are exposed to. Many of our community entities are uniting under a commonality to preserve family values and to equip our children with the skills and qualities of true character and values.

One of those areas involves informing businesses of these intentions as well as working together to accentuate the positive through active community participation.

The Scott City School District should be commended for its efforts to band together and give back to the community through random-acts-of-kindness projects conducted by students and teachers. Together, we will make a difference.

The Rev. GREGG L. FINA, President, Scott City Ministerial Alliance
