Organization Teaches Students Are Lovable, Capable, & Worthwhile

At the Valley View School Board Meeting last week, Heart Haven OutReach (H2O) was awarded the Reaching Out and Building Bridges Award from the Illinois Principal Association: Three Rivers Region. H2O was nominated by Dan Laverty, Principal of Humphrey Middle School, with support letters written by staff at Brooks Middle School, Jane Addams Middle School, and Bolingbrook High School.

"It was an honor to be recognized in this way," said Ryan Lawrence, Executive Director of Heart Haven OutReach. "Our partnership with the school district strengthens our ability to support and mentor Valley View Students. We appreciate the opportunities we get inside the schools to teach students that they are Lovable, Capable, and Worthwhile!"
