National Recognition for Perspective Article on Anti-Bullying

The story had originally run in the Dec. 16 edition of the Plymouth-Canton Educational Park Perspective (student newspaper at P-CEP).
Kevin Epling, the father of the young man for whom "Matt's Safe School Law" is named, commented on the article and complimented Shannon on her work. The online article may be viewed at http://pcep.pccs.k12.mi.us/node/2527
