Congratulations, Illinois Valley Central High School Grad Madelyne Baker

PEORIA, IL — The high school seniors of 2021 have had an experience like no other in a century — a year upended by a pandemic and by lockdowns that kept them from enjoying many of the activities that previous seniors have taken for granted.

Patch hopes to help make it up to those seniors by giving them a special sendoff. We asked parents and other family members to pay tribute to this year’s grads using a special submission form, so we can publish those tributes one by one.

Illinois Valley Central High School student Madelyne Baker will graduate this year.

Plans after graduation: Madelyne plans on attending Sheridan School of Art in Ontario Canada and pursue a career in graphic design.

Accomplishments: Madelyne graduated with High Honors and recieved the Visual Arts Award and generous scholarship at IVC highschool honors ceremony.

Special message: Madelyne, you are such a sweet, beautiful, and talented young lady and we are so proud of you. We wish you the very best in life and success in your chosen career path. May God bless you and keep you safe wherever life takes you. Xoxo
