Special Bond Between Students at Estes Elementary Gives Us Hope
I m not crying, you re crying! Christine Lancaster is a teacher at Estes Elementary and took to social media to share a special moment between her students. When a child comes to America from another country, there s so much to navigate. Sometimes they just need a hand to hold along the way.

For any child starting at a new school, it s easy to become stressed, anxious and scared. When it s a child from another country, the situation can be overwhelming. That s why we need more teachers like Christine Lancaster and students like the ones at Estes Elementary School. It warmed my heart when I saw her post this morning about children coming together to help a special young boy from Africa.
CANTON For some Americans, Martin Luther King Jr. Day is more than a holiday it s a day of service.
On Monday, the Impact Evangelistic Center Church of God in Christ at 1411 Cherry Ave. NE teamed up with local community advocates to conduct a grocery giveaway.
Though the COVID-19 pandemic detoured most in-person celebrations and gatherings, the Rev. Kenneth Lancaster, host pastor, said the giveaway was in keeping with King s mission, which included advocating for poor Americans of all races. Our church has partnered with the Akron-Canton Food Bank for about eight months, he said. This is something we could do safely. It s more than having a day off. It s a day we can reflect on how far we ve come, and how far we have to go. I m happy we can help keep his dream alive.
