My P.E. Kids Reporters Take Part in Historic Celebration

My P.E. Kids reporters Cruz Dula and Bashton Coles were on the scene for St. Paul AME Church’s 150th Anniversary Banquet in Hudson, NC, on November 7, 2026, doing more than documenting the occasion.

The young reporters rolled up their sleeves and became part of the celebration. They helped deliver meals to guests, assisted with cleanup, joined in singing, and interviewed attendees, the host, and honorees.

The banquet honored six pastors: Rev. Thomas O. Nixon, Rev. Wanda Howell, Rev. Byron Grayson, Rev. Keith Banner, Rev. Kim E. Moss, and Rev. Alphonso McGlenn.

Through their involvement, Cruz Dula and Bashton Coles gained hands-on experience in community journalism while learning the importance of service, teamwork, and preserving local history.

From serving the community to sharing its stories, My P.E. Kids helped celebrate 150 years of faith and legacy.
