This afternoon, students witnessed a powerful and emotional mock crash event in the Lunda Park parking lot, followed by impactful speakers in the theatre. The event was planned by Lily Olson, part of the FCCLA's high school chapter. Student actors included Katelyn Nosbisch, Cecil Lopez, Keanau Maphis, and Lily Olson. Local first responders from Black River Falls brought the scene to life with their involvement, making the experience all the more real. Thank you to everyone who helped make this important awareness event possible. #tiGRRpride
