AURORA — Seventy-eight seniors are being recognized in a special way at North Marion High School.
Through the school’s GEAR UP initiative (Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs), adviser and English teacher Susan Huffman decided to put together the “Making Dreams Happen” quilt, which is made up of paper squares that each feature a senior’s photo, signature and where they’re going to college.
