Northwestern State University held its annual Move In Day for Freshmen Aug. 19. Students were assigned to their dorm rooms and the mayhem began. As we all know, Louisiana weather can be somewhat off-putting and it was miserable until you were greeted by the open doors of University Place 1 and 2.
Thankfully, First Baptist Church brought out a super helpful team of parents and some of their youth group.
They handed out ice cold bottles of water while playing KLOVE on a stereo that seemed to put a pep in everyone’s step. Part of their group assisted families by carrying in furniture, loading wagons and dollies full of boxes, and navigating the halls. A few children who tagged along with their mothers were even happy to help by holding doors open for the almost constant flow of traffic.
First Baptist Church, located at 508 Second Street in Natchitoches, invites all students to a free jambalaya lunch Sunday, Aug. 27!
