We're celebrating members of the Hope Squad! Meet Maggie Vermilya, a senior at Loudonville High School and a proud member of the Hope Squad, Volleyball, and Leo Club! Maggie joined the Hope Squad to learn how to truly listen and support others. To her, it’s all about showing kindness and being there when someone needs a friend. Her peaceful, thoughtful, and kind nature makes her a natural source of support. Maggie hopes the Hope Squad inspires students to open up and ask for help. Her advice is to "reach out to someone, because you’re never alone." 💛
