Pinwheels for Prevention

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Join SAS and the Sigma Pi chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority at Albion College for a child abuse prevention walk. A short gathering and comments will take place on the steps of the Kresge Gymnasium at Albion College at 4:00. The walk will begin at 4:15 and end with the planting of a pinwheel garden representing the carefree childhood all children deserve. We hope you can join us to raise awareness of child abuse and the work that we all must do to ensure that children grow up in an environment of safety and acceptance.
