Good morning, Montgomery.

Unity Worship Center in Montgomery partnered with national nonprofit Kulture City to renovate its building after it closed due to flood damage.

The church now offers quiet areas, headphones to manage loud worship, and a sensory room so people with sensory needs can participate comfortably.

On Saturday, a 17-year-old Montgomery teen died when their vehicle left the roadway and overturned on Chilton County Road 16 — 2 miles north of Plantersville, according to the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.

Alabama schools will ban wireless devices during class this year under the FOCUS Act and administrators will impose punishments from warnings to in-school suspensions—superintendents noted that some districts already report fewer distractions—and the law includes a health exemption for students who need devices.

Montgomery Public Schools hosted a back-to-school bash on Saturday morning at the Multiplex at Cramton Bowl where hundreds of students and parents received free supplies, shoes, socks and hygiene items.

Families enjoyed food, games and photo opportunities, and classes will start Tuesday, August 5 — adding to the excitement for the new school year.

Pine Level’s back-to-school bash this weekend brought families together with free school supplies, food trucks, bouncy houses, and a camp stew sale as Daisy the duck—beloved mascot—greeted everyone with joyful quacks.

Students will return to school on August 7.
