Staff Report-
The Kosciusko Cares iCare Youth Coalition announced three balloon releases this week and next week to raise awareness around bullying and to promote the idea that local teens support diversity awareness and anti-bullying prevention. The events are open to the student body as long as they have teacher permission to attend the events, according to a news release from Kosciusko Cares. "The Kosciusko Cares iCare Youth Coalition is sponsoring a balloon release at each local high school in order to bring awareness to bullying in the county, and to bring hope that in the future all Kosciusko County residents will treat each other with kindness and compassion,” said Heidi Blake, Kosciusko Cares Youth Coalition liaison. The balloon release schedule is as follows: Tippecanoe Valley High School, 1:30 p.m. Thursday; Warsaw Community High School, 1:15 p.m. Thursday; and Wawasee High School, 10:30 a.m. Monday. WCHS student Mason Metzger will deliver a speech at Warsaw's balloon release. Other coalition members are expected to speak at the events as well.
