EVANS, Ga. (WRDW/WAGT) - Parents in Columbia County came together Monday night for the first “Let’s Talk” event of the school year.

It’s a meeting focused on building connections with students and addressing safety concerns in schools.

The event comes just days after the death of 11-year-old Aiden Lee, a Harlem Middle School student.

Eli Oglesby, who usually makes sports and business apparel, has been printing shirts in Aiden’s memory.
