🩷💙 EXTRA! EXTRA! 🗞️ 🗣️ Upper Palmetto Teens Shine at the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Region Teen Leadership Conference

The Upper Palmetto Teens proudly represented UP at the 2026 Mid-Atlantic Region Teen Leadership Conference. They not only leaned into this year’s TLC Community Service (benefitting local elementary schools in the Greensboro area) but also mingled with their fellow MAR Teens as well as honed their leadership skills. Upper Palmetto is UNPARALLELED-LY proud of each and every Teen who showed up and showed out. We’d be remiss to not also give a huge shoutout to the TLC Planning Committee led by our now IPLTA Malinda Johnson Hodges. She officially has hung up her pink and blue hat and crossed over to Associate Land alongside Moms Tonya Belton and Takesha Po***ck. ✨
