We are very proud of seniors Madi Marsh, Marianne Hammer, and Kassidy Mullins for their hard work bringing awareness to Safe Haven laws in Central Illinois. These three young ladies dedicated their honors senior English problem/solution project to bringing awareness to this issue in our area, helping parents who can no longer care for their newborns a safe place to relinquish their child. These young ladies were able to hang the "Safe Haven" sign at the Metamora Fire Department. Nice job, seniors!
