MPI Friends for Life Presentation

On Friday, November 18, our school welcomed Amanda Stuhl Oling to present to our grade 7 to 12 students.  Amanda’s presentation combined her own heart breaking personal story with her expertise from a 15 year career in law enforcement. She expertly described how the crash changed her and her family’s lives forever, impacted at least two communities, affected the impaired driver’s family and friends, caused financial hardships, and even broke up friendships. All this because a 19-year-old made the wrong choice – to drive after a night of drinking. Amanda did not reveal until near the end of her presentation that it was her father who was killed that night, which makes this presentation even more unique.
Students at the end of the presentation were allowed to sign a Friends for Life poster that is now hanging in our main hall.
