THE HEROES RUN HAS BEEN POSTPONED DUE TO POTENTIALLY INCLIMENT WEATHER FROM TROPICAL STORM NICOLE

Are you a runner? Do you enjoy participating in 5K events? Well, this Saturday, November 12th, you have an opportunity to support Veterans in Bulloch County and run in the first ever Statesboro STEAM Heroes Run!

Ms. Veronica Corbett, Middle School Language Arts Teacher at Statesboro STEAM, is the brains behind this fun event. She said, “this is just a great way to get out in the community and honor our Veterans and give back!”
