"Meet Kylah McNeil, a vibrant 16-year-old from the charming town of Walterboro, South Carolina, who is flourishing in the heart of Orangeburg. Kylah is far from a typical teenager—she is a volleyball club team captain, a dance enthusiast, and a passionate advocate for youth empowerment.
For the past four years, Kylah has been actively involved in her community and surrounding areas by hosting anti-bullying events aimed at raising awareness, promoting self-esteem, and encouraging positive peer relationships. Her commitment to uplifting others extends beyond the school year.
During the summer months, Kylah hosts hygiene sessions in partnership with the local housing authority, providing young girls with essential hygiene products and guidance to help boost confidence and self-worth.
Year-round, Kylah continues her mission of encouragement by creating and selling her own self-affirmation calendars, which feature monthly affirmations designed to inspire youth—and even adults—to believe in themselves and embrace positivity.
Through her leadership, creativity, and dedication to service, Kylah McNeil exemplifies the power of young voices making a meaningful difference in their communities."

Ms. Risher shared, "I have encouraged the students to try things we were serving that day because they kept passing it up. I gave them a great pep talk and told them it was really good and to just try it. A lot of the kids started getting it and actually enjoyed their meal, and said it was good!"
Congratulations to Ms. Risher and keep up the great work!
