As the summer comes to an end, all of us in Sullivan County must prepare to part ways. Here is what we’ll be up to after we leave Sully Co:

Collin Daniels will be returning to Western Carolina to study Emergency Disaster Management.

Lexi Jeffrey will be returning to the University of Iowa for physics and secondary education.

Clarene Martin will be returning to Simmons University for nursing and music.

We are all so grateful to have spent the summer in Sullivan County; we are grateful for the support of the community and thank everyone who helped make this summer in Sullivan a success. Until next time!
