Zakya, a Junior at East Montgomery High School, is not only a standout defensive lineman for the Eagles, but more importantly an outstanding student.

Zakya is an A/B honor roll student, and a part of numerous clubs and organizations.  He is highly esteemed by his peers and teachers and has been described as a “Gentle Giant” because he is always willing to jump in and help in anyway.

Zakya is not only a leader in among his peers, he is also a leader in the community.  Once graduating from East he plans to attend a college or university.  Even though he is young, he understands the importance of trusting God in every situation and as his guide for making wise decisions.

We are extremely proud of this young man for his hard work and success, and most importantly, his outstanding character.

MoCo Mogul Awards

by | Oct 26, 2017 | Community, Student Spotlight

On December 9, 2017, MoCo Life 910 will be hosting it’s first MoCo Mogul Awards!  What is a MoCo Mogul, you ask?  A MoCo Mogul is someone we deem as a VIP (Very Impactful Person) within the community.  A person who works hard and gives freely of their time and energy for the upbuild of the community.  These are our mentors, educators, pioneers, coaches, etc.  The work of these outstanding citizens has gone unnoticed for far too long.  This year, we are putting an end to that!  From here on out we will do our best to make sure our VIP’s get the recognition they deserve!

We can’t host an awards show without recognizing another VIP (Very Important Part) of our community, our youth!  They will also be recognized for their hard work in and out of the classroom and their leadership among their peers!  All of our Student Spotlight students for the year will play a very special role and receive a special presentation during this event.

Hosted by The Legendary Jamal Moore, Beautiful Photos By Trust & Believe Photography, Delicious Desserts By Cakes by Jess and Sweet Soulful Sounds Of Von Demetriz with her Live Band, and a SPECIAL performance from the chorus of Hillside High School of Durham, NC. Make sure you clear your schedules to come out and join us on Saturday, December 9, 2017 at 6pm at East Montgomery High School Auditorium. This event is FREE and open to the public!  You don’t want to miss this event!  If your heart so desires, please bring a new, unwrapped gift for our donation to brighten the holiday of children who are less fortunate.

We thank those who, without hesitation, heard of our vision and believed in it enough to become a supporter and contributor.  Our major sponsor for this event is the Bobby Martin Foundation. We could not have done this without them. Sponsorship opportunities are still available and we are accepting donations to help make this event a success.

On Saturday, September 30, 2017, MoCo Life 910 will be participating in the NC Department of Transportation’s Fall LITTER SWEEP.  MoCo Life 910’s stretch of highway is Sedberry Rd. in Biscoe, NC beginning at the Auto Zone.

The Adopt-A-Highway Program (AAH) was established in 1988 by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) in response to growing public concern regarding litter along the state’s highways. The AAH Program is administered by the NCDOT Office of Beautification, and is a joint effort between community volunteers and the NCDOT.  Its purpose is to decrease the amount of litter on North Carolina’s roadsides and improve the beauty and quality of the environment.

MoCo Life 910 made a commitment to become active participants in the Adopt-A-Highway program because, as a part of our mission to empower the community, we feel that we have to “take care of home”.  As an Adopt-A-Highway participant, it is our duty to keep our neighborhoods and communities clean, and we need everyone to get involved.  Take the next step in joining us to make sure we are indeed taking care of home.

Not only will we play our part in cleaning and empowering the community, we will also get a great workout in as well (kill two birds with one stone).  Those who choose to join us for this event will receive certificates of participation from the Department of Transportation for their role in this important activity!  Join Us!  The community needs you!

MoCo Life 910 Launches a New Fitness Campaign

In keeping up with our mission to empower the community by preparing individuals to live healthy and productive lives; mentally, physically, and emotionally; we have officially launched our health and wellness campaign, MoCo Life 910 Fitness.  Montgomery County currently has higher rates than the state averages for diabetes prevalence, hypertension, diseases of the lung, and obesity; we’re here to change that.  In order to have a productive community, the community must be healthy.

The purpose of #MoCoLife910Fitness is to offer support for healthy lifestyle changes and fitness goals.  We are here to encourage and support one another on our journeys to health and wellness.  We are using this as a platform to show the importance and benefits of living healthy, active lifestyles.  Members of the group are invited to share their weight loss goals and stories, share tips, and workout routines.  Members also share photos of themselves pre/during/post workout.  This group is an exciting way to get supportive tips from those dealing with similar struggles as you when you feel like you’ve hit a plateau in your fitness goals.  There will be some exciting, innovative ideas and activities coming from this campaign to help jump start fitness journeys, change bad habits, or add some spark to your current routine.

The response has already been amazing and we don’t want anyone to be left out!

Join us on our journey.
