Video re-cap from Park Ridge XC @ McAlpine

Sep 1, 2010 4:45 pm by Paul Jenkins in Family, Running, Sports, Stanly County Youth

Video highlights from the first XC meet of the year for Park Ridge Cross Country. We ran at McAlpine in Charlotte, NC, and saw some pretty impressive times from the group. Parker and Will each have already dropped over 10 minutes off the times they had at the beginning of practices less than a month ago (Ok, everyone’s improved, but I’m a tad partial. Sue me).

Guys placed 7/10 teams.
Girls placed 7/8 teams.

More results on the PRCS XC Facebook page.

704 gets some press love!

Apr 13, 2009 2:50 pm by Paul Jenkins in 704, News, Stanly County Youth, That Youth Thing

704 is making headlines!

I’ve noticed that it’s been a month since I added a blog entry, and so I’ve been thinking about what would be the best “first” story to post on my way back to blogging consistency. I’m pretty sure I can’t come up with a better one than the story that appeared in the Stanly News and press last week.

Now, what makes it funny is that I never even knew it was getting written. I had spoken at the Greater Oakboro Business Association luncheon about 704, and a reporter from the SNAP had asked afterwards if it would be okay for her to mention the 704 project in her article. Of course I said yes, but I assumed she would have something like “and Paul Jenkins shared about 704″ buried in an article about the actual meeting. Imagine my surprise when I turned the page of the paper and saw the following article splashed across the width of page 10A.

So, 704 is now “officially” out of the closet. Hang on, cause it will only get crazier from here.

You can see the entire story here.

Lost Generation

This is simply amazing. Make sure you watch it all the way through. WE should probably make this mandatory viewing for every student that comes through the doors of 704. Can you imagine the impact of 12,000 students in Stanly County if they bought into the message here? Wow. Unstoppable.

Shocked with the Truth

Dec 5, 2008 11:13 am by Paul Jenkins in Culture, Resources, Stanly County Youth, That Youth Thing


This past week I got to be a part of an incredible “Dream Team” of pastors, educators and health care professionals that presented a 4 night workshop to local teens and parents on the dangers they face in areas such as peer pressure, sexually transmitted diseases, relationships and other “hotspots” in youth culture.  The workshop is called “Shocked with the Truth: a journey toward healthy choices” and is full of stats, video clips and stories about good and bad choices (the artwork is above).

We had great response each night and great feedback from those who attended.  I’m looking forward to many more of these in the days ahead.

Every 15 Minutes

I just got back from the third night of our presentation called “Shocked with the Truth: a journey toward healthy choices.”  At the end of the presentation about drugs and alcohol abuse by Junior, we watched the following video.  Powerful stuff.
