Local rapper Corey Thornton performs original songs on Wednesday Sept. 18, 2019 about the importance of school attendance at Walsingham Elementary School during a school wide assembly. During Attendance Awareness Month, Pinellas County Schools and the Juvenile Welfare Board have partnered in a campaign to reinforce the importance of being in class each day. The school was the first to be awarded with Thornton's Attendance Awareness Concert since it had the most improved attendance record among the 74 elementary schools in the Pinellas County School District for 2017-2018. Eight other area schools will also have the opportunity to see Thornton perform through the end of the month.
