Living Library 2025

Our Living Library event was a huge success this year! Our students had the opportunity to listen to and learn from a wonderful group of presenters. I would like to thank each of our presenters for their time and willingness to share their knowledge and expertise with our students.

I would like to thank Nicole Ens-Palmer (Massage Therapy), Justin O'Brien (Oil Industry), David White (How to raise Honeybees), Brian Healy (Doctor/Oncologist), Amy Hildebrandt (Working with Horses to Teach Life Skills), Julia Gray (Veterinarian), Elizabeth Vasseur (Registered ICU Nurse), Brooke Jones (American Sign Language), Kelly Bateman (Geologist). Such a fabulous group of presenters!
