Racine, Ohio: Southern High School students were treated to an outstanding speaker today. Andre Fluellen, through the Relationships Under Construction program and the THRIVE Youth Initiative, entertained, educated, motivated, and encouraged students to make positive changes in their lives.
Both staff and students appeared to love his approach and presentation while speaking with our students. Throughout the day, students thanked Mr. Otto, Principal, for bringing Mr. Fluellen to Southern and shared how his message impacted them on a personal level.
Southern Local would like to thank Andre Fluellen, Beth Roell, Relationships Under Construction, and The THRIVE Youth Initiative for bringing this experience to our students.
