During the week of April 8, First Priority Greater Birmingham teamed up with Scott Dawson Evangelistic Association to reach local middle and high school students with positive messages through free Right Choice School Assemblies. Schools where assemblies were held include: Hoover High, McAdory High, Ramsay High, Moody Jr. High, Oak Mountain Middle, Odenville Middle, Riverchase Middle and Washington Middle. An assembly was scheduled for Calera Middle but due to the threat of severe weather, it was cancelled. Nearly 7,000 students were impacted by these school assemblies.
The assemblies were put on by Motivational Speaker and Hope In Motion Founder Pedro LaTorre, Christian Rap Artist KJ-52 and Entertainer/Dancer Ramon Martinez. Hope in Motion exists to share a message of hope through a presentation that is lathered with music and humor all to set the stage for dynamic story-telling. The presentation covered topics such as: bullying, relationships, sexting, suicide, drugs, loneliness, cutting, anger, hope, respect and more.
