Transcript. What follows is a transcript of the video above, in Joseph Annan Jr’s own words. It has not been rewritten, and no part of it was drafted for them.
Pike is a great community to raise a family because the people make it feel like home. It's one of those communities where everybody knows everybody and you always feel supported. There's so much for kids to do from back to school drives to summer camps and community events that bring everyone together. The school system is safe, high-rated, and really gives kids a chance to grow academically and socially. One of my favorite memories is going back to school events with my mom, my siblings, cousins, and friends. We get our school supplies for the year, play games, win prizes, talk to firefighters, read books. It was something I look forward to every single year. That's what makes Pike a great place for opportunity, connection, and community.
