CBS Show "Kid Nation"

CBS premiers a new reality show tonight - Kid Nation - featuring a former student and Lakeview Alum - Migle Dravistavituce (last name horribly misspelled!). The program airs at 7:00 on Ch. 2, so check it out if you can. It's rare that a person from your school is famous, or at least gets to have an opportunity like this. At the very least, root for her. At best, be inspired by her. I expect to see a few other students reach great heights in my career, so stop reading this and go do something great!

Here is a link to her bio on the CBS Website, and

This is a link to a Downers Grove Sun article about her experience.
