There will be another opportunity for children Taylor law enforcement and other first responders.
God’s Way Christian Baptist Church will host its annual Panorama Back to School event Saturday, Aug. 13, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the church, 1101 W. Second St. in Taylor.
“It’s a back-to-school program for the youth, where we will talk to them about safety, shooting, gun violence, domestic violence and things like that,” said Pastor Billy Ray Reese. “We’ll talk to them about being safe at home and being able to go back to school dealing with trauma.”
The church is partnering with Taylor ISD, the city of Taylor, Taylor Police Department and other churches and organizations.
During the event, there will be a school supply giveaway in addition to helpful information about safety, shooting, gun violence, domestic violence and more. Pastor Billy Ray Reese said the recent school shootings may have traumatized some students.
Students will have an opportunity to meet and greet police officers, firefighters, city leaders and teachers.
Reese said the program is not just for students, but for parents as well.
The event is free and open to the community.
