 Are you ready for a warm weather and a little sunshine? The Appalachian Wireless team has decided to have the ultimate spring break event. The spring break event is going on now through the end of April and all smartphones are on sale with Appalachian Advantage. We are you, we are Appalachian Wireless. Friday, April 8th, Pike County held their annual proclamation ceremony for Child Abuse Awareness Month recognizing the importance of child abuse prevention. It's a time when we gather to bring attention to the fact that child abuse is very prevalent in our communities but also the best way to end child abuse is to prevent it. The proclamation is held annually to raise awareness and educate community members on prevention tactics. So the best way to prevent child abuse is through education, to strengthen our families and to strengthen our community bonds within our families. There are certain risk factors that put children at a higher risk to be a victim of abuse and so we want to help reduce those statistics and reduce those incidences through education. If you suspect a child is being abused or neglected, please report it to your local authorities. For Mountaintop News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
