Urbana University and The Alicia Titus Memorial Peace Fund are sponsoring a program for students and of all ages to navigate technology, social, and psychological issues of our time. The program is built on the idea that peace, like math and reading, require a skill set that needs taught. Additionally, the program will go over coping skills for trauma and the human condition while providing tools that can be applied to every aspect of life. More details are in the attached flyer.
Alicia Titus was a flight attendant on the plane that struck the World Trade Tower on 9/11. She was a graduate of Graham and her family still resides in the Champaign County community. Her parents have worked diligently to honor Alicia by promoting efforts of peace and kindness. The Peace Literacy Training is an extension of their ‘Season of Nonviolence’ efforts.

West Liberty-Salem National Honor Society partnered with Community Blood Center for the annual blood drive this morning. Students and teachers registered for the event, and even with the two hour delay they made sure to rearrange schedules to give back! National Honor Society provides treats and water for donors and keep things organized. Community Blood Center presented Superintendent Kraig Hissong and WL-S with the Red Cord Award for the number of students who are repeat donors. According to the CBC website students who register to donate blood three or more times during their high school career earn a Red Cord to wear during graduation events. The program recognizes students for their commitment to providing life-saving donations to the community blood supply. Pictured are father/daughter donor duo, Superintendent Kraig and Cathryn Hissong. Thank you students and staff who commit to bolstering the community blood supply every year!
